THE LAST LETTER THAT I RECEIVED FROM MERCEDES BENZ NOTIFIED ME THAT THIS WILL BE FIXED BY MARCH OF 2018 AND YET ITS 3 MONTHS HAVE GONE BY NO ONE CONTACTS ME . WHERE CAN I GO FOR THIS FIXED?

I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MERCEDES BENZ FOR A REAR TAIL LIGHT RECALL. WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. NOTE: THIS WAS NOT HAPPENING PRIOR TO ME DROPPING MY VEHICLE OFF TO THE DEALER. I INFORMED THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE DROVE MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE MECHANIC. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAD ME GO TO WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS ON A LIFT. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE REAR BRAKE LINE ON MY VEHICLE RUSTED (METAL LINE) OUT CAUSING THE BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK OUT. ALSO, THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT SENSOR WENT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SEAT WOULD NOT MOVE BACK OR FORWARD.

2010 MERCEDES BENZ C300. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VARIOUS SAFETY RECALLS. CONSUMER STATES THAT THEY WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THESE RECALLS. *LD *JS

"TAKATA RECALL" MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS. DEALERSHIP UNWILLING TO PURSUE MANUFACTURER TO DELIVER THE PARTS. LEAVING ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH. "THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE"

AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE IN 2013 THE DRIVER INSIDE DOOR LATCH BROKE AND WILL NOT OPEN DRIVERS DOOR. THIS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 3 YRS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. AROUND 12/16. IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE I MUST ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AND UNLOCK DOOR, REACH OUT AND OPEN FROM OUTSIDE LATCH. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE IN THE EVENT I LOSE POWER DUE TO WRECK, I WILL BE TRAPPED INSIDE THIS VEHICLE. I'VE REPORTED THIS TO MERCEDES'S AND WHEN I'VE TRIED TO ORDER THIS PART, I'M TOLD IT'S ON NATIONAL BACKORDER ! IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, BUT I CAN'T EVEN GET IT FIXED BECAUSE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. MERCEDES WON'T EVEN GIVE ME A DATE WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. AFTER GOOGLING THIS SUBJECT ONLINE, I'VE LEARNED THERE IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF THESES DOOR LATCHES BREAKING. I'M PLEADING FOR HELP!!

I DROVE MY CAR TO A RESTAURANT. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES, I RETURNED AND TRIED TO CRANK THE VEHICLE. THE KEY FOB DID NOT UNLOCK THE STIRRING WHEEL AND TIRES. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A STEERING COLUMN ISSUE. ENOUGH OF AN ISSUE THAT IT COST ME $1000.00 TO REPAIR. I STARTED RESEARCHING AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE ARE REFERENCES TO BOTH THE ESI AND/OR ESL FAILURES. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MERCEDES BENZ AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS MOTORIST ARE LEFT STRANDED UNLESS TOWED.

AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF CONCERNED ABOUT AIR BAG NOT WORKING WAS INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT IN A DIFFERENT CAR WHERE AIR BAGS DID NOT COME OUT AND SENT TO HOSPITAL SO I'M VERY CONCERNED

TAKATA RECALL - MERCEDES HAS PROMISED AIRBAG REPLACEMENT FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. THIS IS NOT A TIMELY REPLACEMENT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A CAR WITH A LIFE THREATENING DEFECT FOR 2 YEARS.

I AM WRITING YOU REGARDING A SERIOUS AND POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING SAFETY HAZARD THAT HAS BEEN IGNORED BY MERCEDES-BENZ. CLEARLY THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AS I HAVE FOUND THIS ISSUE HAS PLAGUED MANY OTHER MERCEDES DRIVERS ON THE INTERNET. ON 1 OCTOBER 2017, THE INSIDE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR. (SEE ATTACHED PHOTO). THE PASSENGER DOOR CAN NOW ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. WHEN TAKEN TO THE LOCAL MERCEDES OF ARROWHEAD DEALER IN PEORIA, AZ, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL MUST BE REPLACED, NEEDS TO BE MANUFACTURED AND WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL NOV 2017, THEN DEC 2017 AND NOW FEB 2018. THE INABILITY TO OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR PRESENTS A GRAVE SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IF THE CAR IS IN A ACCIDENT WHERE THE DRIVER DOOR IS DISABLED BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER CANNOT ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE. THEREFORE, MERCEDES SHOULD HAVE PLACED THIS MODEL ON THE RECALL LIST WHICH IT DID NOT AND THE LOCAL MERCEDES DEALER SAID I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS ENGINEERING MALFUNCTION IN THIS MODEL YEAR AND PERHAPS OTHERS. THE LENGTH OF TIME TO CORRECT THIS ENGINEERING DEFECT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THIS SITUATION REQUIRES AN IMMEDIATE AND CONCERTED INVESTIGATION BECAUSE IT PRESENTS A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING SCENARIO.

TAKATA RECALL, STILL NO REMEDY FROM DEALER AS OF DECEMBER 23, 2017

NO WRECK OR OTHER INCIDENT, BUT I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF RECALL BY LETTER, BUT THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN REPAIRED. I NEVER RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER STATING TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN. TK HOLDINGS, TAKATA CORPORATION ALSO SENT ME A NOTICE OF CHAPTER 11 FILING.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE. THIS WAS NOT DUE TO EXCESSIVE FORCE, UNUSUAL WEAR OR USE, ETC. THE PART CAN ONLY BE REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE ENTIRE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL. DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND KNOWS THAT THE PIECE IS FAULTY AND PRONE TO BREAKING. THE COST TO FIX IT IS NEARLY $1,000 TO REPAIR. IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW, OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE EXTERIOR, ROLL MY WINDOW BACK UP AND THEN EXIT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD IF I NEEDED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY DUE TO A FIRE, ACCIDENT, ETC. WHEN THE HANDLE BROKE, THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY (I HAD JUST PARKED), I WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT OF THE DOOR. THERE WAS NO SOUND INDICATING A BREAK, IT SIMPLY DID NOT OPEN THE DOOR ANY LONGER. WHEN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I FOUND ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE OF THIS BEING A COMMON ISSUE AMONG OTHER MB OWNERS AND THEY WERE EQUALLY AGHAST AT THE FACT THAT THIS HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED AND ADDRESSED DUE TO THE SEVERE NATURE OF THE ISSUE.
