Takata inflators no accident yet. This recall has been going on with out resolution for far to long, afraid to drive vehicle. Eight years in my vehicle's case.
Tamara recall. It's been a year and 4 months since I received a letter from mercedes telling me they were going to replace airbags inflators on my vehicle. So far nothing. I'm afraid something can happen while my wife and I are driving. I want to know when it's going to be fixed?.
Takata inflators: mercedes continues to state the parts are not available to correct the problem.
My 2010 mercedes C300 has a faulty electronic steering lock fail-which left me stranded sitting in the park lot about 30 minutes from home. Car would not start I tried to start my car and nothing happens. When I turn the key to on nothing lights up, no crank, no clicks, no windows and no radio. I would lock and unlock with the remote but that was about it. I tried jumping and I tried both keys still nothing happens when I turned the key. Steering wheel was locked and gear stuck in park. Had to have it towed to the mb dealership to have the steering lock and key replaced and ending costing $1,124. 00. I have read that this has happened to a whole of mb's and should be a recall. I mean really we pay to have a quality car and so far my mb has had a stinky ac that mb could never figure out how fix, taillight recall, found oil leaking from oil centerfuge cover that cost $199. 62 but yet it still leaks oil. , currently waiting for the takata airbag inflator recall from April 2016 and today is Dec. 2016. Very disappointed in mercedes and will not be purchase again nor will I recommend to anyone. Even the service at the dealership has gone down. Quality and customer service is not what it use to be.
Takata recall my car has been under recall for the passenger and driver side airbags for over 2 years now. I live in texas which is in zone a of the recall and according to a diagram that mercedes sent us with the recall letter, the time the inflator is expected to rupture is in 6-9 years. This car is currently 8 years old which would put it at extreme risk and mercedes still does not have a fix for this. They also refuse to offer a loaner car. They recently stated that a replacement would be available in last June of 2018 however they have now delayed that again to December 2018.
Takata recall. I received a notice from mbusa 6-8 months ago, and have gotten no response from my local dealer who only knows that this recall, to his knowledge, is on hold, and no parts are available. How can that be possible? if a car is in a crash and the airbag inflator deploys, does it not need to be replaced in order to complete the repairs to the vehicle? I am concerned, and have no faith in the corporate lobbyists and fat cats that cut corners for profits. I just want my car fixed, because I am handicapped, and have an extremely bad back, and worry that incorrect deployment of the airbag would further damage my spine, and cause me to go to a wheelchair from my cane, or worsen the numbness and my inability to get around. This should be your concern as well, because I have contacted an attorney who is willing to take my case for a percentage of the settlement, if we decide to settle, or accept the court mandated fee he would be entitled to. My entire lumbar and sacral spine are compromised bye degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, multiple spinal senoses and more.
Description of the security risk your passenger side airbag is affected by this recall based on the default decision of tk holdings, inc. (takata). In certain circumstances during a crash that requires frontal airbag deployment, the defect in the passenger side airbag inflator can cause the airbag to explode during deployment and could result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, causing serious injury or death.
Takata inflators: the manufacturer has failed to remedy this safety recall for my vehicle. It has been over 2. 5 years.
