The airbag headrests opened up randomly without being involved in an accident!.
My car had the takata airbags that were recalled. It says the recalls were repaired but my vehicle is saying that the driver-side airbag has malfunctioned. I haven't been in any accidents. So I contacted mercedes and they could not find verification that the previous open recalls were ever fixed.
Car has been in and out of the shop. Initially I have been contacting mercedes about airbag messages and continued message of srs malfunction on dashboard. Airbags had been recalled and supposedly replaced on multiple occasions. This srs continues to remain even after repair or being seen for this issue only for other components to have failed and me having to pay for those in the process. The srs malfunction remains an issue until the next issue is affected. Recently an entire electronic sam module component was replaced as the culprit only to have more issues and the srs remained. Mercedes has contended that each time they saw the vehicle the the srs malfunction was not the problems while other documents were repaired such as battery and sam. In the meantime since then the car has stalled, components that were working are no longer inoperable. There was a recall that was applied to only specific vehicles of my model year which state the srs malfunction was to be replaced and made whole. I never received one of those notices and I will note that my vehicle obviously was affected and should also have this component replaced as it fits the same model year and make of the issues mercedes has repaired already on affected vehicles. This issue has been on going for several years and mercedes has failed to rectify this component that makes it dangerous and causes safety concerns for us with the understanding that their note on their website about the srs malfunction appeared to me a cop out for them to not be responsible for the fix and recall thsr may have affected more vehicles than its originally accessed number. Instead of fixing this issue they continually find other repairs they indicate as the issue only to end up right back with the same srs malfunction and stalling issues with vehicle once again and want to use excuse of car's age as issue and failing to acknowledge and address the srs malfunction. Your system would not allow file upload. I can still provide.
After repair done on the confirmed recall airbag computer/module my vehicle became immobile, malfuctioned. The vehicle warning lamps alerted the airbag malfunctioned, srs malfunction. I seeked service for repair of this recall by experts. This safety issue is still ongoing and urgency is needed for this to be resolved.
When I was driving, the passenger active headrest suddenly deployed and pop out. I’m glad on one was on the passenger seat, and the airbags did not deployed. I’m concerned about the safety of airbags accidentally deploy in the future with the broken headrest.
Noticed a recall for this part.
I have a mb C300 2008 the car never had an issue until I brought it in for a airbag recall 2 weeks later I get an srs malfunction, esp and abs failure car doesn't turn on next day the car turns on and engine light goes on, then lights stayed on even after car was off next day lights went off while driving in dark making for hazardous and quite scary situation mb is doing these recalls but jeopardizing the overall integrity of car I even replaced battery but this still occurred car was rendered undrivable and stuck in my driveway and had to have it towed and pay $380 just to look at it even though I told them they caused damage there is no way a perfectly running car coincidentally has major electrical issues post recall (they replaced entire stash board and steering wheel cover).
We have been waiting since the start of the NHTSA recall of mercedes-benz C300s for faulty airbags for the appropriate replacement. I believe this has been about two years since we received our first notice. Last week we received a notice from our dealership that the part was in and that we should schedule our free repair. However, today, when my husband brought the car in for service he was told that the part was not available. This has been going on for some time and the purpose of this email is to inform NHTSA that mbusa and mb of miami are continuing to fulfill their obligations under federal auto safety laws. We are both disgusted by the length of time this process has taken and we want something to be done to ensure that our car's airbag system is properly repaired.
Takata recall: I went to mercedes in paramus, NJ to complete the recall on the airbags to my vehicle. . The service rep stated that because I have an srs light on in my vehicle that I would need to pay $160. 00 (discounted from the $299. 00) in order to find out what was wrong with the vehicle, then correct that situation (out of my pocket) before they can complete the recall. . . The funny part is that the srs light is for the supplemental restraint system which are my air bags!!! I have had the srs light on my vehicle since I bought he car which has been 9 years! of coarse mercedes is trying to charge me something because they figure �why spend so many hours of free labor on a vehicle that is 10 years old� I actually expected this outcome! nothing is ever free with mercedes. . . . I am not giving them a penny for an issue I have had with the vehicle since I bought it August 2009.

Takata recall. What is the status of the driver and passenger airbag recall on my 2008 mercedes-benz C300? I don't feel safe driving my car due to the possibility of the airbags deploying. Its been over 2 years since the recall was issued. When will my vehicle be serviced?.
Both airbags in the front seat are defective. The warning danger light comes on and stays on. Mercedes keeps putting the replacement off. Now they're telling me June of this year. How many people have to die before my government puts pressure on them. Are there any class action law suits going on with this?.
I cannot seem to get my airbag fixed even with this recall in place. Can someone please assist?.

Takata recall my vehicle currently has an active recall for the airbags, after being instructed to contact a local dealership to have the problem fixed, I contacted Mercedes Benz of jackson. I was told that they did not have the parts in at that time, which I understand. I asked if they could order the parts and was told no and that there was nothing that they could do for me. My understanding is that if my car has a defective part, the dealership is to get the part to fix it. Being told "there's nothing we can do for you is not what I needed to hear, knowing that I am driving around in a car with a bad airbag.
Takata airbag recall -- no indication by Mercedes Benz when airbag would be replaced, not even whether it could take several years. Local dealer asked me to contact their national hotline (1-877-496-3691). No indication when expected replacement is expected to happen. Not even in terms of years!.
Takata recall - received notification of recall & notice of tk holdings inc. Chapter 11 case no. 17-11375 (bls) - I have contacted dealerships in my area and they stated that they have been waiting for parts to replace airbags for over I year and have no idea when and/or if they will be coming in.
