Air Bag Problems of Mercedes Benz S550

Struts and braking system have been unstable since I purchased the car. Wiring harness leaks oil and caused ecu to intermintinli turn off and on. Also the heat control timing caused car to over heat . Eventually I replaced the ecu 2 years ago at dealer . Mercedes has parts that are not safe to be in these operating conditions with such heat causeing wiring harness to short out and dealer said that and still put new ecu saying it was oil that damaged ecu. Mechanicly didn’t make sense but now due to recall it all makes sense. Ecu was never programmed correctly causeing unsafe driving hazards .

The leather is coming out of the dashboard as a result of that the air bag on the passenger front window is coming out. You can literally see the white part of the air bag. Its a matter of time before the leather comes out all the way and the air bag will pop out. The dealer refuses to fix it and the car is still under warranty.

I purchased a new 2014 mercedes S550 and the day after purchase, the airbag malfunction light came on. I set up an appointment to have this corrected, and was told it was fixed. A couple of weeks later, I was traveling at approximately 20mph, approaching an intersection where I did not have a stop sign. I noticed a large SUV traveling east bound at excessive speeds (guessing 35-40), which did not appear to be stopping, but could not stop in time to avoid the collision. The SUV impacted the driver's side of my vehicle at full speed. My vehicle spun and was hit again at the side and rear driver's side. I was pushed over the curb and into a snow bank where I eventually stopped after hitting the yield sign. I was trapped in my vehicle as I had carved thru the snow and all doors were blocked. The damage to the vehicle was on the driver's side front, side and back. The hit was hard enough to cause frame damage to the vehicle, needing frame repair. There were no airbags deployed during the crash and given the previous malfunction with the airbag system, this was a major concern for me. I notified Mercedes Benz of the issue, and it wasn't until several requests that they responded. They sent someone to the body shop to look at the car and confirmed there is frame damage; however, stated it was not hard enough of a hit to trigger airbag deployment. I have a hard time understanding how it can be hard enough to cause frame damage yet not trigger airbag deployment? this is a completely redesigned vehicle and mine was one of the first on the road. I am fearful that this is a larger issue that is not being addressed, or uncovered, since this is a recently released model. As a result of the impact, I sustained injuries to my neck, back and left elbow. I am hoping this could get address to avoid future injuries, or death, to other drivers and passengers. Thank you.
