Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator Problems of Mercedes Benz C230

Takata recall I received notice of recall campaign 2016020003 in February 2016 and it is now nearly November 2017 and I have not been contacted about a remedy for this recall. I have contacted mercedes USA and they have no timeframe on a remedy. They assure me that they have not experienced problems with the takata inflators. I suspect that due to the age of the vehicle (my2005) they have no interest in ever remedying the takata situation for my vehicle, leaving me to continue to drive a vehicle that may kill me, or buy a new vehicle, and receive no trade-in value as the vehicle is affected by the takata recall.

Takata recall I'm concerned for the safety of our daughter driving the mercedes with the airbag not replaced per the letter and mercedes website info the consequence is very alarming and we do not have another car. We have called our dealership and emailed mercedes. They are stating that they are not able to provide a time frame when the airbag replacement will be available. I have incluede below what is stated on letter and website: consequence according to takata, in the event of an inflatorrupture, metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants. Our issue is that while we wait for a replacement, we have no choice but to continue to drive our car with the risk of injury or even death. We hope you can assistance to speed up the process. Thank you for your time and look forward to your response soon.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2005 mercedes-benz C230. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v081000 (air bags) for the frontal passenger inflator; however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and referred the contact back to the dealer. The dealer referred the contact back to the manufacturer. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Takata recall. Mercedes-benz USA (mbusa) has been unable to provide us with any estimate whatsoever as to when our vehicle may be repaired. We were notified of the recall in may. Just yesterday (15 September) we were told that NHTSA was determining when the parts would be made available to mercedes-benz, and that there is no way mbusa can tell us even approximately when the vehicle can be repaired. The dealer said that the NHTSA was in charge of the coordinated replacement plan. That's not what your web site says. Mbusa claims the vehicle is completely safe to drive, even though it is equipped with the same takata psdi-5 drivers-side airbag inflator which has killed at least ten people in other automobiles. Mbusa bases this claim on the assertion that there has not been a reported death or injury caused by a defective airbag inflator in a mercedes vehicle to date. To use that assertion as the basis for putting many thousands of motorists at an increased risk of death or serious injury in mercedes-benz vehicles seems highly irresponsible. It is not reasonable to ask the motorist to assume this risk. I don't see any evidence that the company has a sense of urgency about this recall, much less a real plan for getting the repairs done.
