TAKATA RECALL. OUR COMPLAINT IS REGARDING THE UNREASONABLE DELAY IN PROVIDING US WITH A GOOD REPLACEMENT PART. BECAUSE OF THE RECALL WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE THE CAR OR RISK SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH IF THE AIRBAG SHOULD DEPLOY AND EXPLODE. IN THE MEANTIME WE HAVE TO FIND ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION, CONTINUE MAKING PAYMENTS ON THE CAR, AND ARE UNABLE TO SELL IT. SHOULD WE DECIDE TO USE IT AND GET INJURED BY THE AIRBAG WE WILL HAVE NO REMEDY AT LAW BECAUSE WE THEY WILL CONSIDER THAT ASSUMED THE RISK BY USING IT EVEN WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE RECALL. WE WANTED OUR REPLACEMENT PART MONTHS AGO AND NOW ITS BEEN JUST TOO LONG. OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME RECALL HAVE HAD REPLACEMENTS ALREADY. MERCEDES BENZ IS NOT ACTING FAST ENOUGH AND THIS DELAY CAN ONLY CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS FOR OUR SOCIETY AS A WHOLE AS SOME PEOPLE MAY CONTINUE TO USE THEIR CARS DESPITE THEW RECALL. WE RECEIVED OUR NOTICE IN FEBRUARY OF 2018. TO THE QUESTION BELOW REGARDING "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" I USED THE DATE OF THE RECALL NOTICE. WE HAVE AVOIDED USING THE CAR AND HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL: TO DATE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. HOWEVER, MY AUTO IS LISTED IN THE AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE AS HAVING DEFECTIVE GROUNDING IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHICH COULD LEAD TO A PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG.

I CALLED MY COMPANY THEY SAID WE DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY C-250 CONCERNING THE TAKATA AS WELL AS THE STEERING COLUMM WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD CAUSE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY AT ANY TIME. HOWEVER, WHEN I CALLED MERCEDES THEY SAID TO WAIT UNTIL THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STOP IMMEDIATELY CALL FOR A TOW AND THEY WOULD BRING IT IN AND COULD TAKE QUITE SOME TIME TO GET PARTS AND REPAIR. IN MY UNDERSTANDING IF THE AIR BAG SHOULD DEPLOY DOING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IT WOULD ENDANGER MANY LIVES. NOT SURE I CAM COMFORTABLE WITH THE ANSWERS I GOT FROM MERCEDES. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT.

TAKATA RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED IN THE MAIL. I CONFIRMED MY CAR WAS INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL VIA WWWAIRBAGRECALL.COM AND CALLED PARK PLACE MERCEDES IN GRAPEVINE, TX. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INSISTED MY CAR WAS NOT RECALLED. SHE WAS RUDE AND JUST KEPT SAYING IT WAS NOT RECALLED. BTW, THIS HAPPENED OCTOBER 25, 2017. THE DROP DOWN BELOW WOULD ONLY LET ME ENTER OCTOBER 24 OR BEFORE.

I WAS DRIVING ON GLADES ROAD, BOCA RATON, FL. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE, SAW SMOKE AND LOST MY POWER STEERING. I MANAGED TO PULL INTO TOWN CENTER MALL, GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND SAW THAT THE CAR WAS ON FIRE. THE BOCA RATON POLICE CAME, #5 FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME. THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MERCEDES OF DELRAY.

STATIONARY VEHICLE'S DOOR LATCH STOPPED WORKING WHILE TRYING TO EXIT THE CAR. THE LATCH IS LOOSELY MOVING AROUND WITH NO CONNECTION TO THE DOOR LOCK WHATSOEVER.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, GOT OFF ONTO A SIDE ROAD AND WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT WHILE BRAKING: MY CAR COMPLETELY DIED (WHILE IN DRIVE). THE MOTOR SHUT OFF, THE ELECTRICAL DASH SYSTEM LIGHTS ALL WENT OFF AND THE HAZARD TRIANGLE SYSTEM CAME ON (WITH THE SYMBOL OF AN EXCLAMATION MARK(!) INSIDE THE TRIANGLE). AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE AND A HALF, I PUT IT IN PARK, AND IT RESTARTED. SCARY! I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS.

THOUGH I APPEAR TO HAVE MANAGED ONLY MINIMAL INJURY IN THE RANDOM MALFUNCTIONING DEPLOYMENT OF MY STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG WITHOUT BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR COLLISION, I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY MY CAR'S AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY WHILE I WAS DRIVING 50, 60 OR 70 MPH. I WAS ACTUALLY PARKED WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. KEYS WERE IN THE IGNITION AS WELL. EVEN IF THE CAR IS REPAIRED, IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND EVEN LEAD TO FATALITIES OF MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND OTHER ADJACENT VEHICLES' PASSENGERS ON THE ROAD. MY WIFE PERSONALLY DOESN'T WANT TO RIDE IN THAT CAR KNOWING THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I DID A LITTLE INVESTIGATING AND I FOUND THAT MERCEDES-BENZ HAS A RECENT HISTORY OF THESE ISSUES. PLEASE SEE ARTICLE FROM NY TIMES BELOW. THE MB DEALERSHIP IS STILL TESTING MY CAR TO FIGURE THINGS OUT BUT MY MAJOR CONCERN IS WITH THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY FAMILY, OTHER DRIVERS, AND OTHER C 250 OWNERS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS STILL NOT TAKEN A STANCE SO THIS IS NOT SO MUCH A COMPLAINT AS IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WHICH SHOULD LEAD TO A RECALL. THANK YOU.
