The steering wheel airbag spontaneously deployed with no prior warning sensors activated or collision (moments after pulling into driveway at home). Mercedes benz refuses to take any responsibility, or at least inspect and replace the steering wheel and airbag. Driver's arm was partially injured due to deployment, not severe. However the concern remains of whether this could have deployed while driving, causing critical injuries. Should we worry about the remaining airbags spontaneously deploying?.

I am the owner of this 2011 mercedes-benz Gl450 for 7 years. In the past few years, I have been receiving the airbag recall notices from mercedes-benz. So far, no indication of when this recall will be taken care of. Obviously mercedes-benz doesn't care of its' customers' safety. I also appall that our government has no regulation in place to force the car manufacturer to fix this within a reasonable time frame. Is that because of the auto manufactures can afford strong lobbying in capital hill ?I?!?!.
Takata recall has not been resolved.

Takata airbag still inside car, have been asking dealer for almost 3 years now to fix it, they state they have no parts? why hasn't this been fixed. Now I hear takata filed bankruptcy, so what happens now? shouldnt the dealers buy back the cars like vw did with the issue with mileage, this is a lot more serious, can cause death if in a crash and they cannot fix it.
Takata recall. I'm writing to complain about the unacceptable length of time it is taking mercedes to recall this part. Given we're driving around with what amounts to a grenade in our airbags, it shouldn't take a year and a half (and counting) between recall notice date and today. . . With no date for resolution yet identified by mercedes. My family is at risk.
I received correspondence of the safety recall in December of 2017. The letter states of death and and serious injury and as of today may 25 2018. I have not received correspondence of repair or direction.

Takata recall.
Takata recall it has been over a year since I was notified my 2012 Mercedes Benz Gl450 needed the defective airbags repaired/replaced. I phoned the local Mercedes Benz dealership at that time and was advised I would have to wait. What am I to do at this time to successfully accomplish this before an accident occurs due to this defective airbag?.
Takata recall--I have called the dealer numerous times and the replacement for my vehicle make is not even available. I have had the notice of the airbag recall for almost 2 years now. Lexus dealers are offering their customers replacement vehicles until their parts come in, why will mercedes not offer the same option. If these airbags are such a danger in the event of a car crash, if something were to happen while waiting for the parts to be available, this will create an even bigger problem than was started with.
Manufacturer (Mercedes Benz) has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner, stating the company that made the airbags filed for bankruptcy. My wife and children, including an infant, use this vehicle on regular basis and the defective airbags are known to cause serious bodily injuries and/or death and this is unacceptable and must be addressed.
Takata recall. I have received two notices stating that my vehicle is one of those having the takata airbags and that we can have "free replacement airbags". I have contacted approved dealerships several times in my area, only to be told that takata has not released the "parts" to replace my airbags yet (this has been ongoing for two years). I called a dealership again today and was told the same thing. I drive my car daily with these defective airbags with the hopes that we don't get into any accidents which causes me great anxiety and stress. Two years is too long to still be waiting on parts to fix a problem that should have never been. When will this be fixed?.
"takata recall". . . . . Dealer tells me they don't have the part to complete the airbag replacement. It's been months.
