Four problems related to side/window air bag have been reported for the 2009 Mercedes Benz C300. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Takata recall: have called mercedes dealership 3x in my attempts to install replacement of driver side airbag, once again, I was told mercedes still does not have replacement and everything is up in the air. Seems like the safety of their customers isn"t a priority.
Takata recall. Takata and mercedes have failed to replace both the passenger and driver side airbags. I have contacted the local mercedes dealer dozens of times to check on the status of a replacement to no avail.
We received a recall notice on the driver's side airbag two years ago for this car. We have called the mercedes hot line 4 times, left a message and have not received a response. We have spoken with are dealer 8 times with an answer "it is fine no one has been injured so far". We line in missouri with high humidity, heat and the car is old. In March we received a recall for this car for the passenger side. No information, no idea of when the bags will be replaced. Help. We want new airbags and mercedes is doing nothing.
Takata recall: I was informed by mercedes regarding recall on driver's airbag in April/may 2015. I inquired to corporate if my passenger side airbag was in jeopardy and was told no. Later on, I received a notice that the the passenger ones were not good either. Have been calling the mercedes corporate office and our local dealer, myrtle beach automotive for 2 yrs and 8 months. Still they do not have the replacement parts. I get a letter from corporate stating I will be called when replacement parts are available. I am afraid to drive my car. I would like to sell it, but it bothers my conscious. My car has only 42,000 miles on it and it does not hold its value like they did years ago. I want the airbags replaced now!!!.
