2 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2019

I have been having constant issues with the steering and airbag lights going on. I was also in a bad rear end wreck in 2016 and the airbags did not deploy. I have been calling santander consumers about the issue and they don't care and are still making me pay my more. The mercedes dealer has said that the recalls are pending and they do not have the parts to fix the issue. So I have stopped making payments because I have a toddler and will not drive a dangerous car and the car was recently repossessed last week. The airbag deploy lights constantly stay on indicating they are not working and the steering keeps locking up. It happens when the car is parked and in motion.

4 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 12/13/2016

I have insisted on several occasions that mercedes dealership at oxnard, CA to fix the recall of the airbag. For the year and a half 2016-to 2018, it has not been repaired due to " inability" to have parts/fix the recall. I am copying this message to my attorneys. In the case of a fatal collision and airbag not deployed properly to save my life, I am empowering my daughter as my only heir to envoke the mother of the lawsuits. I will instruct to invoke statutory sanctions against every government entity that passively allowed the malfunctioned equipment released on the roads. That will be a negligence per se for the starters. If the takata airbag manufacturer already bankrupt, the mercedes will bear full responsibility. God help you.

9 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 10/06/2012

Head on collision with another vehicle and the front end of a brand new 2013 mercedes c class was destroyed. Vehicle was less than a month old. Airbags did not deploy and I wonder how that could be when the entire front end of the vehicle was smashed in. Mercedes pride their vehicles on safety and I'm very concerned that their new models may not live up to that standard. Airbags should have deployed in this accident to minimize injury or death. These new models are slowly taking to the streets and should be investigated to see if there is warrant for an airbag recall. Mercedes needs to be aware of this because they will be distributing these vehicles all over the globe. Not much is available on a 2013 model and this is a vital time to investigate before the masses have these vehicles where major injuries or death may occur. I feel lucky to have walked out with a concussion and I hope this investigation can prevent anyone else from future serious injury or death.
