51 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/05/2018

I received a recall notice from mercedes about the takata airbags. When I called the company to see when replacements will be available they stated they did not know so I called the auto safety hotline. They told me not for a year due to my model is 2013. I then called mercedes back and said that is not a reasonable amount of time and would like a loaner vehicle until mine is fixed and safe. Mercedes stated they are not giving loaner vehicles and encouraged me to keep driving this vehicle since they have not have any deaths. This is not acceptable to me and I would like a loaner or replacement vehicle. I did some research and there are reported accidents with their vehicles having airbag issues and injuries have been reported. Not having any reported deaths does not make my car safe, since when does someone have to die in order for a comp[any to acknowledge and provide their customers with a loaner or safe vehicle replacement.

53 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2018

Mercedes recall 17v627 was issued saying "no concern unless srs light illuminats. " mine did. I went to arrowhead mb in peoria who wanted to charge me $175 to diagnose and $400 to pull the bumper saying they were sure that it wasn't the recall causing the srs light to come up but needed to pull the bumper to be sure. I had another mechanic with a computer plug into the mb and could find no other cause. I believe mb was trying to illegally recoup their labor cost for fixing a recall. I would not allow them to charge me. My husband was out of state working on a trial and I wanted for him to come home and test his car with the same recall his VIN is wddgf4hb7da806420 and the car required regular service and mb tried to upcharge him $3500 for work that didn't need to be done we believe to recoup the labor in fixing a recall. We leased these cars and then bought them outright from arrowhead both at once and service has steadily declined and the unnecessary upcharges both at once, lead us to believe they are trying to recoup for fixing a recall. My best guess is the 400 was taken in March of 2018. I cannot find the date in my email.

Takata recall appears to have become a bad joke. It has been 16 months since receiving a letter from Mercedes Benz acknowledging the danger of our airbags needing replacement and being a part of the takata recall (Feb 2018 to June 2019). Mercedes benz has their notification of this recall, on their own mbusa website as Jan 10, 2016 (NHTSA recall number 18v043). Mbz has stated the status of this recall as "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available. " since a very long time, with no apparent changes or updates. It is becoming clear that mbz has no intention of fulfilling this recall, and apparently quite content to leave the passengers and drivers of their vehicles in danger of injury, maiming, and/or death from a repairable problem that is well known for quite some time now.
