3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2024

The passenger airbag was replaced under the takata recall. Recently the airbag indicator light came on for the driver airbag. We have been notified by the dealership that this airbag needs replaced. They provided an estimate of $2,652. 29. We reached out to mercedes due to this being a safety issue and also due to the fact that the passenger airbag was replaced under a recall. They are unwilling to assist. It is illogical that just the passenger airbag is faulty in the recall but that the driver's airbag is fine as they came from the same manufacturer and installed when the vehicle was built. We are concerned about either deploying on its own or if it will deploy in an accident.

Failure Date: 12/13/2022

I was in an accident that caused my car to be a total loss. I was hit near the front left side, close to the driver's door. The airbag did not deploy despite the hard impact. I am currently having to go to therapy due to impact. My right lower arm was bruised from the impact, and I was in a lot of pain due to the bruising caused. I am assuming the bruising came from the hit to the steering wheel. I was never notified of an airbag recall.

9 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2021

The current vehicle I have, is suppose to have a back up camera as part of being the basic standard for a 2014 c- class Mercedes Benz. Ive asked the place I bought he car from and also ed hicks imports, who also legally sells Mercedes Benz in corpus christi, to install one, especially because according to the VIN reports I bought, it was initially on the vehicle. I was even willing to pay them to install a factory made original mb backup camera that should’ve been there in the first place but they tell me to go buy an aftermarket! after further research, it turns out Mercedes Benz makes all their cars with backup cameras or the parktronic option which is added sensors !!! before my car was even brought over to the USA in 2014! yes, all of these issues have been confirmed by another dealer, which is auto nation here!!!! besides that, ed hicks imports supposedly fixed two factory recalls with my car, where one was if the airbag on the passenger front side goes off, it would kill or harm, myself, and any occupants in the vehicle due to the metal fragments that would also burst and pierce, or exit through our bodies. However, my airbag notification comes on every time someone is in the front passenger seat as a warning, as well as my own driver side airbag that just started coming up when I turn on my vehicle. The steering is not fully mounted straight either, so it’s causing me a ton of gas to get to the closest places in town, as well as having me turn the wheel twice as much as I normally would need to on a car with a steering wheel properly mounted, which makes the time for me to finally turn my vehicle at any given time to turn a lot slower than other drivers around me. The last thing is the body of my vehicle not be big properly aligned, I did not know the car had been in any accidents, and recently discovered it’s been in 7 !!!so it makes sense why the whole chassis resembles a chopshop car all of these parts of my vehicle are available for inspection.
