38 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2017

Takata recall. I would like to complain about inaction from Mercedes Benz on the replacement of my airbags which are known to have an issue that could cause death. Other vehicle manufacturers such as Honda and Nissan are providing replacement rental cars to customers until the client's car is fixed. Mercedes benz has refused to do this when I contacted them at their corporate customer service number and the car dealership in cherry hill, NJ (who also put the phone down when I asked them how this was okay). I am concerned for myself and my family members since the warning says that air bag deployment could cause death. I would like to see some action against Mercedes Benz for not providing customers with an alternative such as a rental car until they are able to replace these dangerous and defective parts. Please advise on what I should do next as I need this car to get to work and transport my family every day. Thank you. Please help!.

I was not notified via mail for the solution or even an update of the recall which as the owner and primary driver of this vehicle is not acceptable. Luckily I have not experienced an accident where the takata airbags need to be active.
