There are 3 recalls regarding my vehicle per Mercedes Benz and their database on their website. I took my vehicle for steering column to get repaired and the dealer did nothing about it. They are refusing to fix the recalls and told me that my vehicle is not under the manufacturer warranty. The dashboard is completely disabled with a warning messages and airbag light on. It disabled my honk, volume buttons, I cannot see tire pressure on my dashboard or how much miles there is left for gas and other features. Service manager told me he is unable to fix the recall and for me to contact Mercedes Benz customer service. They let me leave the dealership with my new born baby and two toddlers. I begged them to fix it and cried so much since I was scared to death to drive away with the problem like that and they still refused to do so. After I contacted mb customer service they looked into it and also stated that my vehicle is not going to be fixed for the recall due to non manufacturer warranty. Please help me out.

Takata recall has not been addressed by Mercedes Benz reportedly due to a lack of parts. The recall is about 3 years old and numerous notices to me indicate that parts to address the recall are unavailable. I am very concerned that the takata bankruptcy will leave my recall unaddressed. I have had an airbag indicator light come on that Mercedes Benz says is not related to the recall but I am not certain if that statement is accurate. I limit the use of this car since I am not certain that it's safe for me and my passengers.
Failed to deploy-meaning fail to come out. The air bag lights remain on.
Takata recall. . My air bag light remains on and I fear that they are not working. Also, my car will not restart after stopping at a store.

The dealer also verified that this is a common problem with mercedes and the cost to repair it is $2100. 00 upward.
