TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE MY LAST RECALL NOTICE OF 1-10-17 (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER - 17V017 & MANUFACTURING RECALL NUMBER 2017010002) TO HAVE MY CARS AIRBAG REPLACED - NOW THAT TAKATA HAS FILED CHAPTER 11 AND THERE IS NO REMEDY - WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

TAKADA RECALL - YESTERDAY 10.26.17 I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL LAS VEGAS MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP [FLETCHER JONES]. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE RECALL FOR TWO YEARS AND THEY HAVE NOT YET REPLACED ONE TAKADA AIRBAG TO DATE AS THEY HAVE NO PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT. THEY HAVE NO PARTS FOR THE RECALL OF THE AIRBAG. THIS LEAVES ME AND/OR MY FAMILY AT RISK OF INJURY IF WE GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS DEFECTIVE AIRBAG STILL IN MY VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN CALLING SINCE MARCH 2017 TO HAVE MY AIRBAG REPLACED, AND STILL NO SOLUTION. I HAVE CHILDREN WHO DRIVE WITH ME AND CLIENTS AS WELL. I NEED THESE AIRBAGS REPLACED IMMEDIATELY, OR NEED THE MERCEDES DEALERSHIP TO GIVE ME CREDIT FOR A NEW VEHICLE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ONE THAT I AM DRIVING. I EXPECT MORE OUT OF MERCEDES. I HAVE JUST BECOME PART OF A LAW SUIT AND I PLAN ON PRESSING THIS ISSUE UNTIL THERE IS A SOLUTION. PLEASE ASSIST.

I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SAID THAT MY DAUGHTERS CAR IS ON A LIST. I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN OFFICIAL RECALL LETTER FROM MERCEDES LETTING ME KNOW TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. FURTHERMORE, THE SALESMEN NEGLECTED TO INFORM ME THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN RECALLED. HE READ EVERYTHING FROM THE CARFAX REPORT BUT NEGLECTED TO READ THE PART ABOUT THE RECALL. GREAT TO KNOW I BOUGHT A CAR FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THAT COULD KILL HER.

TAKATA RECALL; I RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATORS ON JANUARY 10, 2017. CALLED TO SCHEDULE RECALL REPAIR WITH MERCEDES BENZ OF SUGARLAND IN SUGARLAND, TEXAS. INFORMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME AND I WOULD RECEIVE NOTICE FROM THE MERCEDES BENZ COMPANY WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE AND REPAIR WOULD BE SCHEDULED. IT IS NOW OCTOBER 23, 2017 AND PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE PER DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I'M CURRENTLY OPERATING A VEHICLE WITH POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AIR BAGS AND CANNOT GET ANY REMEDY. HELP ME.

"TAKATA RECALL," MY MERCEDES BENZ C250 HAS DEFECTIVE FRONT AIRBAG, THAT WAS RECALL SINCE JANUARY 2017, BUT THE MANUFACTURER HAVE YET TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY CONTINUE TO ALLOW THIS TO GO ON, PUTTING THE DRIVER AT RISK.

TAKATA RECALL - THE RECALL WAS SENT OUT LAST YEAR AND AVAILABLE PARTS STILL NOT AVAILABLE.

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT WILL STUTTER AS IF IT WANTS TO TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN STARTING UP THE VEHICLE IT STALLS BEFORE ACTUALLY TURNING OVER.

APPARENTLY, FIRST GENERATION C250S ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE BUT IT HAS SINCE BEEN CORRECTED WITH LATER GENERATIONS.

THE BLOWER OF THE CLIMATE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE IN THE SUN. AS A RESULT THE CAR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IS IMPACTED WITH THE RISE IN TEMPERATURE. WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE OR IN SHADE, THE BLOWER AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WORKS FINE. IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A SHORT CIRCUIT AS A RESULT OF HIGH TEMPERATURE WHICH PREVENTS THE BLOWER / AIR CONDITIONER FROM OPERATING. PLEASE CHECK IF THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE.

WHENEVER A PASSENGER IS SEATED IN THE REAR SEAT (EITHER SIDE) AND THE CAR IS BRAKED OR EXPERIENCES A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE SEAT BELT LOCKS AND STARTS TO TIGHTEN THEREAFTER WITH A RATCHETING SOUND EACH TIME THE PASSENGER MOVES EVEN A LITTLE BIT. THIS TIGHTENING CONTINUES UNTIL THE PASSENGER STARTS SUFFOCATING FROM THE PRESSURE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ONLY OPTION IS FOR THE PASSENGER TO UNBUCKLE THE SEAT BELT AND START OVER. BUT THEN THE PROCESS REPEATS ITSELF. MY FAMILY MEMBERS NOW EITHER REFUSE TO RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT OR THEY DO NOT BUCKLE THE SEATBELT AND HOLD IT IN THEIR HAND INSTEAD. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS ON 4 OCCASIONS BUT EACH TIME THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE SEAT BELTS ARE WORKING AS DESIGNED. I HAVE ASKED OWNERS OF 2 OTHER MERCEDES CARS OF SIMILAR MAKE AND MODEL AND THEY HAVE ASSURED ME THAT THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN IN THEIR CARS. I HAVE ESCALATED THIS ISSUE TO MERCEDES DIRECTLY BUT THEY HAVE REDIRECTED ME TO ONE OF THE DEALERS AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN GET THEM OR THE DEALER TO RESPOND TO MY EMAILS.

TAKATA RECALL, NO REPAIR ON 2012 C250 MERCEDES AND NO ESTIMATE ON WHEN THEY WILL HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR. ISN'T IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH A PASSENGER IN FRONT SEAT? WHAT IS MY RECOURSE? ALSO ENGINE LIGHTS COMES ON AND SENSORS HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND MECHANIC DOES NOT KNOW WHAT ACTUAL PROBLEM IS/ COULD THIS JUST BE A BAD FUSE?

TAKATA RECALL NOT REMEDY AVAILABLE

TAKATA RECALL! I TOOK MY 2012 MERCEDES IN FOR ITS MAINTENANCE . AT THIS TIME, I WAS APPROACHED AND TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS ON THE RECALL LIST DUE TO AIRBAGS. AT THIS TIME, I WAS INFORMED OF THE SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS SEVERELY CONCERNED FOR MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. THIS WAS HER CAR! I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT A FIX. THAT I COULD TAKE THE RISK OF MY DAUGHTER BEING SEVERELY INJURED. WOW!! LET ME ASK YOU WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE DONE! I THEN OUT OF FEAR, TRADED MY 2012 MERCEDES IN. TOOK A HUGE LOSS AND BOUGHT HER A NEWER VEHICLE. HER OTHER CAR WAS PAID OFF. I HAD TO PUT A DORK PAYMENT ON YET ANOTHER CAR WITH A 2 YEAR FINANCE. WHY SHOULD I BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! I DIDN'T PUT THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR. I THOUGHT AS A MOTHER, I WAS PURCHASING A SAFE RELIABLE CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER. I'M OUT $32,000 ... WHO'S GOING TO JUSTIFY THIS? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO EAT THIS COST! I DON'T THINK SO! I NEED TO BE REIMBURSED THE DIFFERENCE IT WOULD HAVE COST TO REPLACE AIRBAGS. WHY SHOULD THE MERCEDES DEALER BE ABLE TO PROFIT OFF ME AS WELL? THEY WILL FIND A WAY TO FIX THE AIRBAGS THEN TURN AROUND & SELL THE CAR @ THE USUAL JACKED UP COST. THIS IS NOT FAIR! SOMEONE BEST FIND THE ANSWER.

RECEIVED MESSAGE TO CHECK LEFT TAIL LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, BACK UP LIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL. I PURCHASED NEW BULBS TO REPLACE. WHEN I PULLED OUT THE BULB CARRIER, I NOTICED THAT THE AREA NEAR THE WIRING HAD MELTED AND THERE WAS DISCOLORATION. I CAN'T EVEN REMOVE THE PLUG HOUSING FROM THE CARRIER BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN OLDER MODELS FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE.

BRAKE FAILURE. DRIVING VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY WITH A 75 MPH SPEED LIMIT. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE VEHICLE, I FOUND I DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER BRAKES. BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD. PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO SLOW DOWN MY VEHICLE. I DID NOT HAVE ANY ABILITY TO SLOW DOWN VEHICLE. TO AVOID A COLLISION, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, AND DOWN SHIFTED GEARS. NO ALARMS, OR VISUAL INDICATORS CAME ON TO INDICATE A PROBLEM EXISTED. CAR TOWED TO THE MERCEDES BENZ AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT. BRAKE BOX SITTING BEHIND THE MOTOR HAD BROKE. NO SENSIRS OR FAULT US ASSOCIATED WITH THE BRAKE BOX. VISUAL CHECK OF THE BRAKE BOX IS. IT ON ANY MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST.

TIMING CHAIN ON THE VEHICLE STRETCHES OUT OVER TIME. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO NOT START PROPERLY AND CAN SNAP WHILE DRIVING AND STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND DRIVING. THERE IS NO SERVICE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE TIMING CHAIN AND USUALLY STARTS GIVING TROUBLE AFTER THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I HAVE NOT HAD MY CAR STOP IN TRAFFIC BUT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE MERCEDES BENZ FORUMS.
