AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM MERCEDES ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. WHEN I CALLED THE COMPANY TO SEE WHEN REPLACEMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE THEY STATED THEY DID NOT KNOW SO I CALLED THE AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE. THEY TOLD ME NOT FOR A YEAR DUE TO MY MODEL IS 2013. I THEN CALLED MERCEDES BACK AND SAID THAT IS NOT A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND WOULD LIKE A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL MINE IS FIXED AND SAFE. MERCEDES STATED THEY ARE NOT GIVING LOANER VEHICLES AND ENCOURAGED ME TO KEEP DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SINCE THEY HAVE NOT HAVE ANY DEATHS. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME AND I WOULD LIKE A LOANER OR REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE REPORTED ACCIDENTS WITH THEIR VEHICLES HAVING AIRBAG ISSUES AND INJURIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED. NOT HAVING ANY REPORTED DEATHS DOES NOT MAKE MY CAR SAFE, SINCE WHEN DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE IN ORDER FOR A COMP[ANY TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND PROVIDE THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH A LOANER OR SAFE VEHICLE REPLACEMENT.

TAKATA INFLATORS-I CURRENTLY HAVE 2 RECALLS ON MY CAR; ONE 10/05/17 NHTSA 17V627 AND OTHER ONE FROM 1/10/18 #18V043 WITH THE AIRBAGS. NEITHER ONE HAS A REMEDY YET AND I WAS TOLD THIS WEEKEND AT THE DEALER TO NOT LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO DANGER. THIS IS NOT AN OPTION FOR ME. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE EARLIER RECALL IS ALSO DANGEROUS YET NO ETA ON REPAIRS. I AM SINGLE PARENT WITH COLLEGE STUDENT AS WELL AS HANDICAP MOTHER IN HER 80S ... I NEED THIS FIXED NOW.....JUST TO BE TOLD I WILL BE CONTACTED WHEN THERE IS A REPAIR IS NOT AN ANSWER. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND HAVE NO OPTIONS ON THIS. PLEASE HELP PUT MY CAR IN PRIORITY LINE FOR REPAIR OR ELSE I SHOULD HAVE LKQ LOANER UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. MY CAR SUFFERED FLOOD DAMAGE AT 4 MONTHS OF AGE IN 2014 AND I AM VERY CONCERNED PARTS WERE COMPROMISED THAT COULD AFFECT THIS EVEN MORE! (THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND WE MOVED TO GA 2015 THUS HIGH HUMIDITY EXPOSURE)

TAKATA RECALL. WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES SINCE JUNE 2016. EACH NOTICE STATES THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO PARTS TO REPAIR THE ISSUE AND NO TIMETABLE ON WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR. HAD WE KNOWN ABOUT THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WE WOULD NOT HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. WHEN WE ATTEMPT TO TRADE THE VEHICLE IN WE ARE BEING LOWBALLED DUE TO THE OPEN SAFETY RECALL.
