Srs light went on and stayed on. Dealer says driver restraint system failed. Repair would cost $700. 00. This is a critical safety issue and this model car should be recalled for repair by dealer at Mercedes Benz cost, as this is a common failure on this model and likely a defect.
While driving on highway with a passenger at highway speed the srs malfunction warning light illuminated instructing to take car for service. There was no accident and no object was struck. Mercedes mechanic advised that air bags would not deploy until this failure was corrected. Mechanic stated failure was in passenger seat belt buckle. Apparently many other mercedes owners have had this problem. Sounds somewhat similar to Honda's latest problem.
