TAKATA RECALL. "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" HAS BEEN THERE FOR HALF YEAR. AM I RISK PEOPLE'S LIFE DRIVING THIS CAR OR WHAT?

TAKETA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER ON MARCH, 2019 FROM MERCEDES BENZ, USA TO NOTIFY ME OF THIS RECALL. ON 4/24/19, I CALLED THE CORAL GABLES MERCEDES DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE NOT IN AND THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVE. AT HTTPS://WWW.MBUSA.COM/MERCEDES/RECALL, THE STATUS INDICATES THAT THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT IN. SINCE THIS IS A DEFECT THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, HOW CAN IT TAKE MONTHS FOR THE PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE AND FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED?

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. DASH BOARD DISPLAYS LEFT AIRBAG MALFUNCTION, HORN NO LONGER WORKS, DISPLAY CAN NOT BE CLEARED. STEERING MAKE LOTS OF OF CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNED ON EITHER DIRECTION. TOOK THE CAR TO THE MERCEDES DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE INITIAL RESPONSE WAS THAT THE STEERING MODULE FAILED AND MY ASSESSMENT WAS IT IS PROBABLY DUE TO RECALL NO GROUND WIRE RECALL NUMBER 17V627000.. UPON FURTHER INQUIRY THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE STEERING MODULE BROKE AND CAME APART. I SUSPECT THIS EITHER DUE TO DEFECTIVE STEERING MODULE OR RECALL # 17V252000 STEERING BOLT. I HAD COMMUNICATED THIS ISSUE TO MBUSA VIA EMAILS AND SEVERAL PHONE CALLS. THEY STILL HAVEN'T AGREED TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO THE DEALER, THEY FINALLY SHARED THE PICTURE OF THE STEERING MODULE AS YOU CAN SEE IT ATTACHED. OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE SEE PICTURE OF INSTALLED AND NEW MODULE

IN JUNE OF 2018 WE HAD TO HAVE CAM SHAFT WORK DONE ON OUR CAR WHICH WAS SLIGHTLY OVER THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY. THIS TOOK TWO TRIPS TO THE SHOP AND ABOUT $10,000 IN REPAIRS BECAUSE THE ONE SIDE FAILED THEN WITHIN A FEW WEEKS THE OTHER SIDE FAILED. I HAVE READ ON THE WEB MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND IT BEGINS RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY GOES OUT. NOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TIMING CHAIN WHICH I READ SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WHEN THE CAM SHAFT WORK WAS DONE. ALL THESE ISSUES WITH THE SAME MODEL AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. MERCEDES TOLD US IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE C250 AND IT WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BE DONE AGAIN AFTER ANOTHER 50,000 MILES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WHY THEY HAVE NOT CORRECTED IT. IT COSTS ABOUT $5000 EACH TIME!

CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON THE COURTNEY CAMPBELL CAUSEWAY HIGHWAY, ON A STRAIGHTAWAY, THAT CONNECTS CLEARWATER TO TAMPA, FLORIDA. SUDDENLY THE (CLOSED) SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED, CAUSING A VERY LOUD NOISE AND SHATTERED GLASS TO FALL DOWN INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. MY WIFE, WHO WAS DRIVING MANAGED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. GIVEN THE CAR'S SPEED AND SURROUNDING TRAFFIC (MORNING RUSH HOUR) IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT THE SUNROOF EXPLOSION DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE POLICE WERE CALLED AND ARRIVED ON SCENE. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED, AS THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AND NO INJURY. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO MERCEDES BENZ OF TAMPA BAY. THEY TOOK PICTURES AND GAVE US A LOANER CAR AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD MAKE A DETERMINATION AS TO WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 5/1/2019 AT ROUGHLY 7:45 AM. IT WAS NOT UNTIL FRIDAY, 5/3/2019 THAT WE HEARD FROM THE SERVICE CONSULTANT, INDICATING THAT THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEREFORE THE REPAIR WAS OUR RESPONSIBILITY. IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP OVER 2.5 DAYS TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION ... SEEMS LIKE THAT DETERMINATION COULD HAVE BEEN MADE IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES. COULD IT BE THAT MERCEDES BENZ USA WAS INVOLVED IN EVALUATING THE RESULTING LIABILITY IF THEY WERE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY? GIVEN THAT THERE WAS NO IDENTIFIABLE CAUSE FOR THE EXPLODING SUNROOF, IT IS EVIDENT TO ME THAT IT'S A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT COULD EASILY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND SERIOUS INJUR

THERE HAVE BEEN TWO RECALLS ON MY CAR THAT ARE SAID TO BE DANGEROUS AND EVEN DEADLY, YET MERCEDES HAS NOT HAD PARTS TO FIX MY CAR TO A SAFE CONDITION FOR MONTHS AND STATE IT WILL YEARS BEFORE THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS (2020).
