2008 MERCEDES BENZ C300 Air Bags Problems

The airbag headrests opened up randomly without being involved in an accident!

The contact owned a 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 16V081000 (Air Bags) and 16V363000 (Air Bags) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted.

The contact owns a 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300. The contact stated after the vehicle was taken to the dealer for an unknown recall repair, the air bag warning light remained illuminated. The contact also became aware that the driver’s side headlight was inoperable. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a detached headlamp wiring harness. The dealer recommended that driver’s and passenger’s side headlamps be replaced. Additionally, the taillights remained illuminated after turning off the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Car has been in and out of the shop. Initially I have been contacting Mercedes about airbag messages and continued message of SRS Malfunction on dashboard. Airbags had been recalled and supposedly replaced on multiple occasions. This SRS continues to remain even after repair or being seen for this issue only for other components to have failed and me having to pay for those in the process. The SRS Malfunction remains an issue until the next issue is affected. Recently an entire Electronic SAM Module Component was replaced as the culprit only to have more issues and the SRS remained. Mercedes has contended that each time they saw the vehicle the the SRS Malfunction was not the problems while other documents were repaired such as battery and SAM. In the meantime since then the car has stalled, components that were working are no longer inoperable. There was a recall that was applied to only specific vehicles of my model year which state the SRS Malfunction was to be replaced and made whole. I never received one of those notices and I will note that my vehicle obviously was affected and should also have this component replaced as it fits the same model year and make of the issues Mercedes has repaired already on affected vehicles. This issue has been on going for several years and Mercedes has failed to rectify this component that makes it dangerous and causes safety concerns for us with the understanding that their note on their website about the SRS Malfunction appeared to me a cop out for them to not be responsible for the fix and recall thsr may have affected more vehicles than its originally accessed number. Instead of fixing this issue they continually find other repairs they indicate as the issue only to end up right back with the same SRS Malfunction and stalling issues with vehicle once again and want to use excuse of car's age as issue and failing to acknowledge and address the SRS Malfunction. Your system would not allow file upload. I can still provide

My car had the Takata airbags that were recalled. It says the recalls were repaired but my vehicle is saying that the driver-side airbag has malfunctioned. I haven't been in any accidents. So I contacted Mercedes and they could not find verification that the previous open recalls were ever fixed.

After repair done on the confirmed recall airbag computer/module my vehicle became immobile, malfuctioned. The vehicle warning lamps alerted the airbag malfunctioned, srs malfunction. I seeked service for repair of this recall by experts. This safety issue is still ongoing and urgency is needed for this to be resolved.

When I was driving, the passenger active headrest suddenly deployed and pop out. I’m glad on one was on the passenger seat, and the airbags did not deployed. I’m concerned about the safety of airbags accidentally deploy in the future with the broken headrest.

PLEASE DISASSOCIATE THIS VEHICLE WITH ME. I HAVE BEEN GETTING RECALL NOTICES FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS! IT WAS TOTALED IN AN ACCIDENT IN 2015 AND THE INSURANCE CLAIM WAS PAID AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOOK OWNERSHIP/SENT TO ACTION- DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS

NOTICED A RECALL FOR THIS PART

BANK IN 2017 THE SRS AIRBAG SAFETY LIGHT COMES ON AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS A RECALL. I WAITED UNTIL LATE 2018 WHEN THE AIR BAGS CAME INTO THE MERCEDES DEALER IN ANNAPOLIS TO REPLACE FOR RECALL. AFTER THAT THE SRS AIRBAG SAFETY LIGHT STILL COMES ON. WE TAKE IT BACK TO MERCEDES FOR THEM TO CHECK AND CLEAR. THEY SAY IT WAS DONE. SAME LIGHT COMES BACK ON. WE TAKE IT BACK TO MERCEDES TODAY 2/25/2020 AND THEY SAY ITS A SAFETY FAULTY SEAT BELT SWITCH. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $1100 TO REPAIR. I TOLD THEM THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED EVERYTHING PROPERLY AND I STILL BELIEVE THAT THEY JUST NEVER RESET OR CLEARED THE SRS AIRBAG ALERT LIGHT SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY SOME BOGUS MADE UP REPAIR. I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY AND THAT THIS DEALER IS BEING DISHONEST. THE SRS AIRBAG LIGHT WAS NOT RESET AND IT IS STILL ON. HELP?

TAKATA RECALL: I WENT TO MERCEDES IN PARAMUS, NJ TO COMPLETE THE RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS TO MY VEHICLE.. THE SERVICE REP STATED THAT BECAUSE I HAVE AN SRS LIGHT ON IN MY VEHICLE THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY $160.00 (DISCOUNTED FROM THE $299.00) IN ORDER TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, THEN CORRECT THAT SITUATION (OUT OF MY POCKET) BEFORE THEY CAN COMPLETE THE RECALL... THE FUNNY PART IS THAT THE SRS LIGHT IS FOR THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM WHICH ARE MY AIR BAGS!!! I HAVE HAD THE SRS LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT HE CAR WHICH HAS BEEN 9 YEARS! OF COARSE MERCEDES IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME SOMETHING BECAUSE THEY FIGURE 'WHY SPEND SO MANY HOURS OF FREE LABOR ON A VEHICLE THAT IS 10 YEARS OLD' I ACTUALLY EXPECTED THIS OUTCOME! NOTHING IS EVER FREE WITH MERCEDES.... I AM NOT GIVING THEM A PENNY FOR AN ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT AUGUST 2009

WE HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE THE START OF THE NHTSA RECALL OF MERCEDES-BENZ C300S FOR FAULTY AIRBAGS FOR THE APPROPRIATE REPLACEMENT. I BELIEVE THIS HAS BEEN ABOUT TWO YEARS SINCE WE RECEIVED OUR FIRST NOTICE. LAST WEEK WE RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM OUR DEALERSHIP THAT THE PART WAS IN AND THAT WE SHOULD SCHEDULE OUR FREE REPAIR. HOWEVER, TODAY, WHEN MY HUSBAND BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE HE WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS EMAIL IS TO INFORM NHTSA THAT MBUSA AND MB OF MIAMI ARE CONTINUING TO FULFILL THEIR OBLIGATIONS UNDER FEDERAL AUTO SAFETY LAWS. WE ARE BOTH DISGUSTED BY THE LENGTH OF TIME THIS PROCESS HAS TAKEN AND WE WANT SOMETHING TO BE DONE TO ENSURE THAT OUR CAR'S AIRBAG SYSTEM IS PROPERLY REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL -- I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES FROM MERCEDES BENZ CORPORATE IN ATLANTA, GA, FOR YEARS. EVERY TIME I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE BEEN TOSSING THE OLD LETTERS WHEN I RECEIVE A NEW ONE (THE LATEST ONE IS DATE APRIL, 2016). THIS HAS BEEN A SERIOUS CONCERN OF MINE; IN THAT, I AM THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AND THE AIRBAG PROBLEM IS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I AM DISABLED AND HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS FROM RADIATION/CHEMO ON MY LEFT UPPER SIDE (STAGE 3 BREAST CANCER). MY RIBS BREAK VERY EASILY AND HAVE (ON ONE OCCASION BROKEN FROM SEVERE BRONCHITIS). I HAVE NOT FELT SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE SINCE RECEIVING THESE LETTERS. I NOW HAVE HAVE SEVERE BURNS (2ND AND 3RD DEGREE) ON MY LEFT HAND AND ARM. I AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. I AM A VERY CAREFUL DRIVER, BUT WHEN YOU LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND MEDICAL CARE CAN BE FOUR MOUNTAINS (DRIVING TIME 1 HOUR, 50 MINUTES) AWAY, YOU ARE EXPOSED TO MANY HAIRPIN TURNS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF WILDLIFE RUNNING INTO THE ROAD. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IS AROUND EACH CORNER. I DO NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT, SO THE "HEADLIGHT WARNING" WOULD NOT BE SEEN FOR ME. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY PROJECTION DATES AS TO WHEN THIS REPLACEMENT WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER (THREE OF THEM) LISTED ON WEBSITE AND NONE ARE ABLE TO HELP ME. I DO NOT WANT TO FEAR DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT COSTS (FULLY LOADED WITH MORE UPGRADES) $47,000.00. THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY TO FEEL UNSAFE. ALSO, MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY. I HAVE HAD THIS CHECKED REPEATEDLY AND REPLACED TIRES, AS NECESSARY. MOSTLY THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE. I LIVE IN MONTEREY, VA, IN THE MOUNTAINS. IT IS COLD HERE FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS OR MORE. PLEASE HELP, DEBBIE RECALL # 201602003

TAKATA RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT INACTION FROM MERCEDES BENZ ON THE REPLACEMENT OF MY AIRBAGS WHICH ARE KNOWN TO HAVE AN ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE DEATH.

TAKATA RECALL, MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER.

ESP CONTROL MODULE AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, SPECIFICALLY GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE ON A CURVED ROAD, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE/CODE ILLUMINATED ACROSS MY DASHBOARD, "BRAKE" EBR ABS ESP INOPERATIVE. I WASN'T SURE WHAT THIS MEANT AND I WAS EXTREMELY ALARMED AND NERVOUS. AS SOON AS I COULD I BROUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP AND THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME IT WASN'T A BRAKE ISSUE, IT WAS A FAULTY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL PANEL THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT HE HAD JUST REPLACED THESE IN ABOUT 4 OTHER VEHICLES. SAME EXACT PROBLEM. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT READS THE WHEEL DATA FROM THE SENSORS AS WELL AS THE ABS MODULE WHICH PREVENTS TRACTION AND SLIPPAGE WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD, WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS, OR EVEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. THE CAR SEEMS TO FISHTAIL. IT ALSO PREVENTS STABILITY ON THE ROAD IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I'VE ALSO NOTICED IT HAS AFFECTED OTHER AREAS OF THE CAR SUCH AS THE TURN SIGNAL, CRUISE CONTROL MECHANISM, STEERING COLUMN AND STARTING UP THE CAR HAS ALSO BEEN AN ISSUE. I'VE HAD TO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH A COUPLE OF TIMES TO GET THE CAR STARTED. THE CAR IS ALSO DRIVING ROUGHER THAN USUAL. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR US BECAUSE I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND I HAVE A NINE YEAR OLD SON WHO DRIVES WITH ME FREQUENTLY. I'M WORRIED ABOUT OUR SAFETY. NOT TO MENTION OUR FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER TAKATA AIRBAGS STILL HAVE A RECALL THAT HAVE YET TO BE DEALT WITH. IT HAS BEEN WELL OVER A YEAR AND THE PROBLEM STILL HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED. THIS ESP CONTROL MODULE COSTS $1,500 TO REPLACE AND I CANNOT AFFORD THIS. I'M DRIVING AROUND IN A TICKING TIME BOMB JUST WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. IT IS A MAJOR CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I CERTAINLY HOPE YOU TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND PLACE THIS ON THE RECALL LIST TO AVOID A BAD SITUATION.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED AN NHTSA RECALL LETTER IN DECEMBER, 2015 (#15V711). MY LOCAL MERCEDES BENZ DEALER FAILED/WAS UNABLE TO PERFORMANCE THE REQUIRED RECALL SERVICE WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THIS LETTER PURSUANT TO LAW 49 U.S.C. CHAPTER 301. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN MY VEHICLE WOULD BE FIXED, BUT WARNED ME THAT IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, I COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. IN MY VIEW, THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY. IF THESE AIRBAGS ARE THAT MUCH OF A RISK, THEN WHY ISN'T SOMETHING BEING DONE TO DISABLE THEM UNTIL THEY CAN BE FIXED? I GET THEY CAN PREVENT INJURY, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY CAN CAUSE MORE INJURY/DEATH IN MINOR ACCIDENTS IF NOT REPAIRED. WHAT IS NHTSA DOING TO GET THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND PROVIDE THE INVENTORY NECESSARY TO GET THESE POTENTIALLY DEADLY AIRBAGS OUT OF PEOPLE'S CARS? THANK YOU.
