This is relative to the brake booster recall. Mercedes-benz conducted a test and there was significant corrosion that exceeded the normal limits allowed. I am still under a stop drive order but I have not been provided any further instruction or provided a vehicle to drive while my vehicle awaits repair or buy back. Customer service representatives have not corresponded with me despite multiple emails and calls over the last 2 -3 weeks. I need a vehicle repaired so it can operate safely or I need another vehicle to drive while awaiting available parts please.
