Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator Problems of Mercedes Benz C300

Takata inflators. There has been a recall for mercedes-benz C300 since June 1,2016. It has been 2 years and the recall has not been dealt with. I was almost in a car accident today where a ignorant driver texting swerved into my lane. I braked in time but he still collided with another vehicle that didn't have enough time to break. Their air bags exploded. If that would of been me and my air bags would of exploded there could of been more harm done to me from the air bags exploding then the initial car crash. That is not the way I want to find out if my air bags work or not. I have constantly called to the check status of when the air bag recall is going to get fixed. Mercedes USA doesn't even know when they will be getting the parts to fix this problem. We need to have this problem fixed before someone really gets seriously hurt or worse.

Takata recall - per the NHTSA and mercedes website information our vehicle is included in NHTSA recall #16v081 which is the driver's frontal airbag inflator. We have not received any notification from mercedes related to this recall and/or when our vehicle's airbag inflator will be fixed. We therefore contacted Mercedes Benz customer service who escalated our concern to one of their managers. We received a call on 4/6/18 from patricia wagner who stated she represented Mercedes Benz and advised they will not replace our drivers side airbag inflator. She further advised that the NHTSA recall information is incorrect and that recall #16v081 is a passenger side airbag inflator recall and that we needed to contact NHTSA and spreak with a supervisor to find out why they (NHTSA) were providing incorrect information.

Takata recall. I purchased this car for my teenage son on 3/13/18. I spent considerable time shopping for a vehicle in our price range that did not have the open takata recall. At that time, the NHTSA website, mercedes customer service and carfax all showed that this car was good - no open recalls. Now I come to find out that both passenger and driver bags/inflators are on recall, effective 6/1/16 and 2/9/16, respectively. I am extremely upset and concerned, as I do not want my son driving an unsafe vehicle. How is it possible that the recalls were "not there" in March? please help. Thanks.

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.

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.
