TAKATA RECALL I'VE BEEN WAITING FOE 3 YEARS WITH A LOADED GUN POINTED AT MY CHEST CENTER MASS TO GET MY AIRBAG RECALL REPAIR ON A CAR THAT I BOUGHT FROM THE DEALER AS FULLY RECONDITIONED. WHEN IS THIS REPAIR ACTUALLY TAKE PLACE, BECAUSE TAKATA GOT OUT FROM UNDER THE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY BY FILING BANKRUPTCY, AND REORGANIZING AND NOW THE NEW CORPORATION IS TAKING THEIR SWEET TIME MAKING A PROFIT ON EVERY RECALL PERFORMED, AND WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND HOPE OUR CARS DON'T EXPLODE AND SHOOT SHRAPNEL INTO OUR CHESTS. NOT WHY I BOUGHT A MERCEDES BENZ.

MY CAR RECEIVED THE CALL MESSAGE OF POTENTIAL AIRBAG HAZARD IN JANUARY, WHICH WOULD LEAD TO DEATH IF THE AIRBAG POPPED UP. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED IN BANZ STORE FOR FOUR MONTHSIF THERE IS A SUDDEN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG WILL POP UP AND KILL PEOPLE. I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SUCH A SERVICE. A DELAY OF ONE DAY IS VERY LIKELY TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT

TAKARA RECALL I HAVE BEEN CALLING THE MERCEDES BENZ DEALER EVERY FEW MONTHS SINCE I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE ON MY CAR. EACH TIME THEY TELL ME THAT IT WILL BE 1 OR 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX THE CAR. THIS SCENARIO HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS OR MORE. I CANNOT SEEM TO GET MY CAR FIXED. THE LAST TIME I CALLED THEY TOLD ME I DIDN'T NEED TO CALL EVERY FEW MONTHS THAT THEY WOULD SEND ME A LETTER WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I REALIZED THAT THEY HAVE A LOT OF CARS TO FIX BUT I DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE DRIVING MY CAR KNOWING THAT IF SOMEONE RUNS INTO ME I COULD BE KILLED BECAUSE OF A FAULTY AIRBAG. HOW DO I GET MY CAR FIXED? ANYTHING YOU COULD DO TO HELP ME WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED MY DEALER IS IN LAKELAND FLORIDA IT IS FIELDS MOTOR CAR. THEIR PHONE NUMBER IS 863 688-8111.

I RECIEVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS IN FEBRUARY OF 2019. MERCEDES SAYS THAT YOU GUYS ARE THE HOLDUP WITH REPLACEMENT PARTS. AS THE LETTER STATES THAT I AM BASICALLY USING MY VEHICLE AT MY OWN RISK UNTIL REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN MADE, I WANT A RECORD OF MY UNHAPPINESS AND FEAR. MY LOVED ONES RIDE IN THIS CAR WITH ME AND I FEEL AS THOUGH I AM PUTTING THEM AT UNNECESSARY RISK. UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL (#17V017) - MY ISSUE WITH THIS RECALL IS THE UNACCEPTABLE TIMELINESS IN MAKING THE NECESSARY REPAIR. IN JANUARY 2017, I WAS NOTIFIED VIA A RECALL LETTER FROM MERCEDES THAT MY CAR'S FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG WAS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN A REPAIR WAS AVAILABLE. TO DATE (APRIL 2019), THIS HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED BY MERCEDES AND CURRENTLY, PER THEIR WEBSITE, THERE IS NO TIMELINE ON WHEN THIS REPAIR CAN BE MADE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN TERMS OF THE TIMELINESS OF COMPLETING THIS REPAIR GIVEN THE SERIOUS (AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY) NATURE OF THE FLAW WITH THE TAKATA INFLATORS SHOULD THE AIR BAG DEPLOY. WHEN I ADDRESSED MY CONCERNS REGARDING THE DELAY IN THIS REPAIR WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEIR ADVICE WAS TO AVOID HAVING A PERSON RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT - WHICH IS IMPRACTICAL AND NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE CONSIDERING THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR.
