1 Structure problem

Failure Date: 11/24/2003

The passenger side airbag developed cracks all around and separated from the frame. This also occurred at the right hand side of the dashboard near the speaker. I am worried that the airbag will deploy unexpectedly and will create a life safety issue. I wrote several times to the mecedes-bens headquarters and not only did they deny this massive material and workmanship defect but they refused to investigate or propose a corrective measure. I am planing to take this to the media and court. This is a $55,000 four-year-old luxury car and is not expected to have cheap and defective materials.
