TAKATA RECALL. THIS TAKATA RECALL MIGHT BE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO RESELL MY VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL AND STILL WAITING FOR REMEDY AFTER MANY YEARS. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT?

TAKATA RECALL: I'VE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES MENTIONING I'M SEEING THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS YET. CAN SOMEONE PRIORITIZE MY VEHICLE TO GET THE AIRBAG PARTS REPLACED ON FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE ASAP? I CALLED MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY'RE ABLE TO GET IT DONE NEXT WEEK. WHY DOES IT TAKE MORE THAN 2 YEARS TO GET THIS DONE AT MERCEDES? I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE CAN GET THIS RESOLVED FOR ME AND MY FAMILY (I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD) AS THIS IS OUR DAILY DRIVER AND SICK OF PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

I'M SEEING THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT SINCE THE RECALL AND HAVE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND WON'T GET THEM UNTIL 2018. I NEED THIS TO BE PRIORITIZED FOR MY VEHICLE AS I DO NOT WISH TO CONTINUE TO PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE MYSELF AND MY FAMILY TO PROTECT AND WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO PROVIDE TIMELY RESOLUTION FOR US.

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAG INFLATORS. I HAVE 2 OPEN RECALLS FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS. RECALL #16V-363 PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG MODULE, RECALL #16V-081 DRIVER-SIDE AIRBAG MODULE. THESE RECALL NOTICES ARE OVER 1 YEAR OLD. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MY DEALERSHIP TO CONTACT ME ONCE THEY RECEIVE THE PARTS. AS OF TODAY, STILL NO PARTS.

FOR OVER ONE-AND-HALF YEARS I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO OPERATE MY AUTOMOBILE WITH ANYONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. MY MOTHER IS AGED AND HAS DEMENTIA AND REFUSES TO RIDE IN MY BACK SEAT. I ALSO HAVE FOUR CHILDREN WHICH MUST BE TRANSPORTED WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO WITHOUT A SAFE FRONT AIRBAG. MY MERCEDES DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME THAT IT IS, ON MENTOR AVENUE, IN MENTOR OHIO 44060, REFUSES TO HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE AND CONTINUES TO BLAME IT ON MERCEDES. I JUST FORMALLY RECEIVED A RECALL FRO T.K. HOLDINGS OF MONROE, WI INFORMING ME TO CONTACT MY DEALER. WHAT NOW? THE CAR IS USELESS FOR ME WHEN IT COMES TO TRANSPORTING FAMILY OR FRIENDS.

NO REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. THEY HAVE FILED FOR CHAPTER 11 BANK RUPCY AND GIVEN DEC 27 AS FINAL FILING DATE.
