2011 MERCEDES BENZ C300 Air Bags Problems

1.What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The fuel system failure is a highly critical safety concern, and my life is at risk. It causes malfunctions with the vehicle, for example, the OBD-based emissions test has flagged a lot of (codes P219A, P0300, P0304, P0410, P0305, P0303, P0171, P0301) 5 of the cylinder misfire codes with the check engine light on, as well affecting other parts in the vehicle function properly, acceleration issues, car stalling as though it’s going to shut off. This is a serious matter and Mercedes-Benz is failing to prioritize customer safety, over cost especially when known faults in the vehicle can lead to potentially life-threatening incidents such as fuel leaks and fire hazards. Yes, the vehicle is available for further inspection upon request immediately each day my life is at risk. 2.How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My safety and other's safety are put at risk every time I get out on the road to drive my car it's putting me and other' live in serious danger (especially with the extreme increase in car accidents in the local Nashville, TN area). Despite the vehicle now being 3,000 miles over the 150,000-mile extended warranty threshold. I recently purchased the car on [XXX] and was not made aware of Mercedes Benz having any extended warranty coverage for the faulty fuel system that Mercedes-Benz had placed on this model. I can only assume the previous owner the car was reposed from was also unaware of this as well. I believe Mercedes-Benz should still cover the cost of this repair. The fuel system failure is a critical safety concern, and Mercedes-Benz should prioritize customer safety, especially knowing there were faults of poor quality that they discovered with their vehicles and can lead to potentially life-threatening incidents such as fuel leaks and fire hazards.

I was in a collision and the airbags did not deploy. There was a recall on airbags for the Mercedes C300 within the year my vehicle was made, however, the recall did not include my VIN. Also, the sunroof drain is faulty, which was also recalled on other Mercedes C300s within the same production year, again not my VIN, but upon inspection by a certified dealership, it appears to be the same issue as other recalled vehicles.

The sam box (electrical system fuze panel) located under the hood is in a spot where if the lid isn't on correctly water will drain from the windshield right into the sam box and cause the vehicles electrical system to deploy the steering wheel airbag. That's at least what happened to me. It was raining out that day and I guess I went over a bump that caused the lid of the sam to get out of place. I drove home and the car seat for a few hours. I went out upon unlocking the door as soon as I pulled the handle to open the driver side door the steering wheel airbag blew and the vehicle is now in srs mode. The dealership had told me that it's a design flaw but wants me to pay for the diagnostic. No lights were on and I did not file a police report.

The airbags were supposed to have been fixed per recall by carriage house Mercedes in new London ct. my son was in a horrible front in collision and they did not deploy. None of them did. Accident happened 3 days ago insurance will pick up car today. I’d like this noted incase they need evidence

Hi, I dropped off my car with Mercedes-Benz Dealership in Egg Harbor Twp, NJ back on Dec 21, 2022 and still waiting on recall to be fixed and while I'm without ever since that. Please look into this recall.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2011 Mercedes-Benz C300. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V081000 (Air Bags) and 19V010000 (Air Bags). The vehicle was taken to a local dealer for the recall repair; however, the vehicle remained at the dealer awaiting parts for the repair. The manufacturer was contacted and was unable to confirm when the parts would become available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

I JUST PURCHARED THE CAR ON 3/14/2020 FROM CARMAX AND THEIR IS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS. IF AIR BAGS COME OUT THIER IS METAL THAT CAN COME THROUGH THEM.

TEL: (855)457-2275 FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS REGARDING THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. 1) THE RESPONSE IS ALWAYS: "WE WILL CONTACT YOU TO SCHEDULE SERVICE WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVE". THEY NEVER CONTACT. 2) I KEEP GETTING POSTCARDS FROM MERCEDES BENZ THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, HOWEVER, I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES FOR THEIR ASSIGNED RECALL PERSON WHO NEVER HAS TIME TO CALL BACK THEY ARE DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON THIS MATTER HOPING I'LL GO AWAY AND FORGET ABOUT IT

TAKATA RECALL. IT'S TAKING AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR MERCEDES TO COME UP WITH A FIX FOR THIS LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. I SEE THAT HONDA IS ADVERTISING TO HAVE THEIR CUSTOMERS SCHEDULE REPAIRS. CAN'T MERCEDES USE THE SAME REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS? MAKES ONE WONDER IF MB IS SERIOUS ABOUT SAFETY.

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, A DEER RAN ACROSS THE OPPOSITE SIDE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND COLLIDED WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE AND WINDSHIELD. THE ENTIRE DEER LANDED IN DRIVERS LAP AND PASSENGERS SIDE SEATS. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. STATEFARM AND STATE TROOPER REPORTS WITH PHOTOS TAKEN. BOTH OCCUPANTS WERE TAKEN TO ER BY AMBULANCE AND TREATED.

"TAKATA RECALL" WE STARTED GETTING AIRBAG RECALL NOTICES 4 YEARS AGO. WE HAVE CALLED THE DEALER EVERY 6 MONTHS AND THEY ALWAYS SAY "TAKATA HAS NOT SENT US PARTS" THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A LIFE CRITICAL PART SUCH AS AN AIRBAG THAT CAN EXPLODE. NOTHING BUT EXCUSES. EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS. THIS IS THE 4TH MB WE HAVE OWNED AND ITS LIKELY THE LAST DUE TO THE WAY THIS RECALL HAS BEEN HANDLED.

"TAKATA RECALL" RECENT CHANGE IN PA LAW MADE ME AWARE OF RECALL PROBLEMS OTHERS REPORTED. I CHECKED MY VEHICLE AND FOUND 2 UNRESOLVED RECALLS, ONE DATED 2016 AND ONE DATED 2019. I INTEND TO COMPLAIN TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND I WONDERED IF NHTSA WAS DOING ANYTHING TO PRESSURE THE DEALER TO RESOLVE THEIR 3 YEAR NEGLECT OF MY UNSAFE AIR BAGS. IS IT NORMAL THAT A RECALL IS IGNORED BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR 3 YEARS? CAN YOU HELP?

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.

'TAKATA RECALL THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR AIRBAGS SINCE FEBRUARY,2016 EVER SINCE I HAVE T HEARD FROM ANYONE ON BEHALF I CALLED DEALERS THEY SAID PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I BELIEVE THIS IT'S VERY INRESPOSIBLE IN YOUR BEHALF. IT CLEARLY SAID IN CASE OF A ACCIDENT SERIOUSLY INJURIES CAN OCCUR DUE TO THIS SO CAN YOU SOMEONE GIVE ME AN ANSWER ON THIS.

TAKATA INFLATORS THE FIRST RECALL WAS FEBRUARY 2016 FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME IS PAST THE PARTS WERE PROMISED IN SEPTEMBER 2018 AND NO DELIVERY. NOW A NEW RECALL OF JANUARY 2019 FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS BEEN ISSUED I'M TOLD BY MERCEDES-BENZ USA THAT THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 2019 . THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME GIVEN THE THREE YEARS OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL NOT BEING REMEDIED. ALSO I'M TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE COLLAPSED I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT THIS IS A DEFECT ALSO SUBJECT TO RECALL.

Mileage: 50,000

I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN MAY 2016. I HAVE RECEIVED TWO SUBSEQUENT LETTERS DATED DECEMBER 2017 AND JUST TODAY FEBRUARY 14, 2019 STATING THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE COMPANY ( MERCEDES BENZ USA ) THROUGH THEIR PARENT COMPANY DAIMLER AG WAS TAKING ALL NECESSARY MEASURES TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT THEY WERE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION AND AIRBAG SUPPLIERS TO PROVIDE A REMEDY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND TO PRIORITIZE REPAIRS ACCORDING TO RISK FACTORS IDENTIFIED THROUGH TESTING. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD ONCE AGAIN THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE, BUT WE WILL BE CONTACTED ONCE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN 2 1/2 YEARS AND STILL NO REMEDY. WE ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH A BOMB WAITING TO GO OFF IN THE FRONT SEAT OF OUR VEHICLE. WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH? ARE WE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED. I PURCHASED MERCEDES BENZ VEHICLE BECAUSE I WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE THEY WERE ONE OF THE SEVEN SAFEST CARS ON THE ROAD. I DO NOT HAVE A WARM AND FUZZY FEELING ABOUT OWNING MY MERCEDES WHEN THE PARENT COMPANY CANNOT REMEDY A SITUATION THAT PUTS MY FAMILY AND I AT RISK. I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED MORE FROM MERCEDES BENZ. GOING FORWARD I DO NOT WANT MORE EMPTY PROMISES. FIX THIS PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL SO YOU MIGHT RESTORE SOME CONFIDENCE IN YOUR NAME AGAIN.

THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL IS APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS OLD NOW AND MERCEDES HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AND I LIVE IN A HIGH RISK AREA OF SOUTH FLORIDA. I GET A LETTER PER YEAR FORM MERCEDES STATING THEY ARE LOOKING INTO IT. I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER MANY TIMES. EACH TIME I CONTACT MERCEDES THEY REPLY THEY ARE LOOKING INTO IT AND HAVE NO INFORMATION. FRIENDS WITH FORDS CHEVYS AND ALMOST ANY OTHER CAR BRANDS GOT LOANER CARS AND THEN THEIR VEHICLE REPAIRED. MERCEDES IS IGNORING THE ISSUE, SHOULD BE FINED VERY HEAVILY, AND MADE TO FIX THEIR CARS IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW AND WHAT I CAN DO INCLUDING IF I CAN SUE

TAKATA RECALL. SEVERAL YEARS AGO I WAS INFORMED THAT MY MB VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE CARS IMPACTED WITH FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAGS FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER. I JUST CALLED MBUSA AND WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY UPDATED INFORMATION AS TO WHEN SAFE AIRBAGS WILL BE INSTALLED IN MY CAR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE NOW THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE IN FEAR FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS...AND NO ONE KNOWS FOR HOW MUCH LONGER. I WANT A MB LOANER CAR, FREE OF CHARGE TO ME...TO DRIVE UNTIL THE TIME THAT MY AIRBAG RECALL IS CORRECTED. AND I WOULD LIKE THAT CORRECTION TO OCCUR QUICKLY.

1. TAKATA RECALL: THIS RECALL OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS NOW IS UNACCEPTABLE AND HAZARDOUS TO EM AND MY FAMILY. 2. LAW SUIT: GREG SUDDRETH AND PAUL DENTON V. MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. ON 10/30/17, I HAD TO PAY 3445.13 FOR A REPAIR MY BALANCE SHAFTS GEARS, WHICH WE'RE DEEMED DEFECTIVE IN ALL M272 ENGINES WHICH IS IN MY C300. HOWEVER, IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED LAW SUIT, THIS PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. WHEN I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION TO THE MERCEDES-BENZ OF MODESTO TECHNICIANS, THEY SAID I MISSED THE CUT-OFF DATE BY ONE YEAR. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND CHECKED TO SEE IF I QUALIFIED FOR A FREE REPAIR, BUT LATER CLAIMED, THE ISSUE WITH THE DEFECTIVE BALANCE SHAFTS GEARS HAD BEEN ADDRESSED. HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN I INCURRED THE SAME PROBLEM. THE REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. I EVENTUALLY HAD TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED AT MERCEDES OF PLEASANTON BECAUSE MODESTO DIDN'T HAVE ANY OPEN APPOINTMENTS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. 3. FAULTY ELECTRONIC STEARING LOCK: ENGINE WON'T TURN ON AND STEEARING WHEEL IS LOCKED. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. MERCEDES CLAIM NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT WHEN YOUR DAUGHTER GETS STUCK AT MIDNIGHT AT AN AMUSEMENT PARK ON HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR NIGHT...THAT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA SAFETY RECALL - HIGH DEATH RISK THIS RECALL BEGAN IN FEBRUARY 2016, ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO, AND TO DATE THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS LETTERS, REGARDING AVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS, AND EACH LETTER PUSHES MY PRIORITY GROUP LOWER, DUE TO THE ASSUMPTION THAT HIGHER HUMIDITY INCREASES THE ASSOCIATED RISKS, HOWEVER THAT CAN VARY BASED ON ANNUAL WEATHER CONDITIONS, EVEN IN ARIZONA, WHERE WE HAVE HAD MORE RAINFALL AND HUMIDITY THIS YEAR. I DO NOT BELIEVE FOR ONE SECOND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ACCESS REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS RECALL FOR TWO YEARS! MERCEDES IS CLEARLY STALLING AND TRYING TO SPREAD OUT THEIR EXPENSE FOR THE RECALL OVER SEVERAL YEARS, RATHER THAN TAKING THE HIT TO THEIR BOTTOM LINE ALL AT ONCE, WITHOUT CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CONSUMERS, THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. NHTSA NEEDS TO MAN UP AND QUIT GRANTING MERCEDES EXTENSIONS TO COMPLETE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS AT THE POTENTIAL PERIL OF THE AUTOMOBILE OWNERS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIES! I CAN TELL YOU THIS, IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ANYONE IN MY FAMILY, AS A RESULT OF THESE EXPLOSIVE AIRBAGS, WE WILL SUE MERCEDES AND EVERYONE THAT ALLOWED THIS TO CONTINUE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, OF THAT YOU CAN BE SURE! I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER MERCEDES AGAIN, MY NEXT VEHICLE WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE A BMW, THEY HAVE MUCH BETTER SAFETY RATINGS THAN MERCEDES NOW!

TAKATA RECALL THESE RECALLS WERE ANNOUNCED IN 2016 AS POSSIBLY LEADING TO SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH AND, TO DATE, THERE HAS BEEN NO REMEDY.

MY CAR HAS TWO RECALLS FOR THE AIRBAGS WHICH MEANS MY CAR CAN NOT BE TRADED IN BECAUSE IT'S NOT RESALEABLE. THESE RECALLS ARE NOT MINORITY'S AND WE RISK SERIOUS INJURY OR POSSIBLE DEATH BECAUSE MERCEDES CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. REASSURANING KNOWING IF YOU'RE EVER IN AN ACCIDENT YOUR AIRBAGS MAY DISTINCTION DURING IMPACT OR BE THE REASON YOU DIE. I'M STUCK WITH THIS CAR UNTIL THE REMEDIES ARE AVAILABLE, BUT I'M ALSO STUCK WITH RISKING MY LIFE. I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH HESITATING TO SPEED UP FROM A STOP OR SLOWER SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS MY INTAKE MANIFOLD FLAP THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. OF COURSE THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM AND IT'S GETTING WORSE. I HAD IT LOOKED AT AGAIN TO BE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG AND NO CODES WERE DISPLAYED DURING THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. MEANWHILE MY CAR GETS WORSE BY THE WEEK AND MY TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS CLEARLY WRONG. FOR THE THIRD TIME I HAD IT CHECKED AND THIS TIME HAD A TECHNICIAN RIDE WITH ME. HE NOTED THE HESITATING FEELING WHILE DRIVING AND VALIDATED MY CONCERNS. HE SAID HE PERSONALLY BELIEVES MY TRANSMISSION IS MALFUNCTIONING BUT MERCEDES IS COVERING THEIR TAILS. HE SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO SPECIALIZES IN MERCEDES UNLESS I WANT TO PAY $9,000 TO MERCEDES TO BE TOLD A RANGE OF THINGS NEED TO BE FIXED AND THE PROBLEM NEVER BE SOLVED. ABSOLUTE RIP OFF AND I'LL NEVER BUY MERCEDES AGAIN.

Mileage: 100,000

TAKATA RECALL MERCEDES STILL HAS NOT MADE ANY ACTUAL REPAIRS ON THE VEHICLES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD EVERY MONTH SINCE THE INITIAL RECALL THAT THEY ARE WAITING ON PARTS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! MERCEDES HAS NO INTENTION OF REPLACING THESE AIRBAGS, DO THEY? I LIVE AND DRIVE IN FLORIDA. MERCEDES WILL NOT PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE DESPITE NUMEROUS REQUESTS. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE THE MANUFACTURERS LIVE UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. A FAKE RECALL IS A FAKE RECALL. PLEASE STOP LETTING THEM PULL THE WOOL OVER YOUR EYES.

THESE ARE KNOWN TO KILL PASSENGERS YET NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE CAR MANUFACTURERS TAKING THEIR GOOD OLD TIME REPLACING THEM. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE SELLING CARS UNTIL THEY HAVE FIX THE ONES THEY SOLD THAT HAVE DEFECTS AND RECALLS. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR A PAYOUT FROM THE TAKATA LAWSUIT? WHY IS NO ONE DOING ANYTHING.

I AM AT MY WITS END AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO GET SOMEONE TO CARE. IT HAS BEEN 2 1/2 YEARS SINCE GETTING MY INITIAL RECALL LETTER AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. ITS A HUGE DEAL TOO. THE SAFETY WARNING SAYS THST THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG CAN DEPLOY AND PROJECTILE METAL FRAGMENTS CAUSING SEVERE BODILY INJURY OR DEATH TO EVERYONE IN THE CAR. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SO I HAVE NOT LET ANYONE SIT UP FRONT IN A LONG TIME THINKING THAT WOULD KEEP US SAFER BUT NOW THAT I KNOW IT'S THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG I CAN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING TO TRY TO HELP MYSELF UNTIL THE DEALERSHIPS DECIDES WE MATTER. FOR REAL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE UNFORTUNATELY AND IT WILL BE THE FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER. I AM APPALLED. I WAITED 20 YEARS TO BUY MY CAR. I SAVED A PERCENTAGE OF MY TIPS AND OTHER INCOME FROM COLLEGE AND WHEN I HAD ENOUGH, I BOUGHT MY CAR OUTRIGHT. I WANTED THIS CAR MORE THAN ANYTHING BEING I HAD VERY LITTLE GROWING UP SO THIS IS ESPECIALLY DISAPPOINTING. I NEED A REMEDY TO THIS. 2 1/2 YEARS IS UNACCEPTABLE. PERIOD.

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY AIRBAGS FOR 2 YEARS. THIS IS TOO LONG TO WAIT FOR A SOLUTION TO BE DONE WHEN I AM BEING TOLD THAT THESE AIRBAGS IF DEPLOYED CAN KILL ME OR MY PASSENGERS (WHICH ARE MY CHILDREN) I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A REMEDY BUT JUST KEEP GETTING TOLD THAT THERE IS ONE COMING. 2 YEARS IS LONG ENOUGH TO FIGURE IT OUT. THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN IS NOT SOMETHING TO MESS WITH! PLEASE MAKE THEM FIX THIS PROBLEM OR BUY THE DANG CAR BACK! THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE TAIL LIGHT SENSOR AND LIGHT ITSELF, IT KEEPS SAYING TO CHECK IT AND IT DIMS BUT IT'S NOT IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT.

"TAKATA RECALL" I CONTACT A MERCEDEZ BENZ DEALER MANY TIMES IN ORDER TO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG REPLACE AND THEY ALWAYS RESPOND THAT THE PART IS NOT YET AVAILABLE AND THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN IS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE. I'M REALLY CONCERN THAT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT I CAN BE INJURY BY THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO PROCEED TO HAVE THIS DEFECTIVE AIRBAG REPLACE AS SOON POSSIBLE.

MY COMPLAINT #11053646; I HAVE TRIED E-MAILING NHTSA AND YOUR E-MAIL DOES NOT WORK. WHEN I CHECKED THE REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE FOR MY CAR IT LOOKED LIKE MINE SHOULD BE DONE FIRST BASED ON THE YEAR OF VEHICLE. AFTER I FILED A COMPLAINT I RECEIVED NOTICE IT WOULD GET DONE BY 3/31/18 THEN JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER ONE NOW SAYS 6/30/18. IT SEEMS MERCEDES IS TAKING THEIR GOOD OLD TIME WHEN I'VE HEARD OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS IMMEDIATELY TOOK CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. I CAN'T SELL MY CAR AND AM AFRAID OF GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THE EXISTING AIRBAGS. THEY JUST DONT CARE.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AN AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED I BUMPED MY HEAD AN WIFE INJURED HER ARM. CAR RAN THE STREET TO THE OTHER SIDE AN MANAGE TO HIM THE IN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE AN HAD A FRONT END COLLISION. STREET COLLISION I WAS ON A MAIN STREET AN HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY.

TAKATA RECALL. MERCEDES BENZ HAS NOW CHANGED THE "PRIORITY GROUP" OF THE RECALL ON MY AIR BAGS FROM A "3" TO A "4", AND MOST RECENTLY A "5." AND THE EXPECTED DATE OF WHEN "REPLACEMENT PARTS [ARE] EXPECTE TO BE AVAILABLE" HAS CHANGED MULTIPLE TIMES, EACH TIME EXTENDING THAT DATE; THE LAST LETTER I RECEIVED SAYS "BY JUNE 30, 2018." THE LETTER I RECEIVED JUST LAST MONTH SAYS "BEFORE MARCH 31, 2018." I AM IN FLORIDA. EVERYTHING I READ SAYS FLORIDA SHOULD BE IN A HIGH PRIORITY GROUP DUE TO HUMIDITY. WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON? WHAT SANCTIONS HAVE BEEN IMPOSED ON MANUFACTURERS WHO ARE REPLACING AIRBAGS ONLY ON THE VEHICLES THEY ARE TRYING TO SELL, AS THIS IS WHAT THE MERCEDES DEALERSHIP IN JACKSONVILLE, FL IS DOING?

I KEEP GETTING LEGAL NOTICES TO VISIT AIRBAGRECALL.COM, REGISTER MY CAR, AND GO TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, BUT MERCEDES BENZ OF BATON ROUGE STILL CANNOT REPLACE THEM.

ASIDE FROM HIM LOSING HIS FATHER IN JANUARY 2017 - I ALSO TAKE CARE OF MY 78 YEAR OLD MOTHER. THERE ARE NO OTHER CLOSE RELATIVES OUTSIDE OF US SO I TRULY NEED TO TAKE EVERY PRECAUTION AT SAFETY.

BUT ALMOST A YEAR AND HALF LATER, DEALER STILL STATES THAT NO AVAILABLE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT. A LOT OF OTHER CARS OF OTHER MAKES AND MODELS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED BUT MINE STILL HAS NOT YET. IN THE MEANTIME, THERE IS NO SCHEDULE EVEN AS TO WHEN THIS WOULD BE FIXED. SHOULDN'T THERE BE A DEADLINE? IN THE MEANTIME, I AM STILL TAKING SAFETY RISK EVERYDAY AND IT IS HARD TO SELL THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL. IN MAY 2016, I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM MERCEDES BENZ THAT MY CAR IS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I HAVE WRITTEN AND CALLED MERCEDES BENZ USA AND MY DEALER A NUMBER OF TIMES SINCE THEN AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS YET. THEY SAY THEY ARE WAITING ON NHTSA TO GET MANUFACTURERS TO GET THE REPLACEMENTS MADE AND OUT TO THE AUTO DEALERS. NOW THAT TAKATA FILED BANKRUPTCY, MANUFACTURING THE AIRBAGS HAS BECOME MORE OF A PROBLEM. IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND HOW A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS STARTED IN 2013, EXPANDED GREATLY IN 2014/2015, AND THE CONSUMER IS STILL NOT ABLE TO GET THE RECALLED AIRBAGS REPLACED. CORPORATIONS MUST BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. I SEE A LOT OF DOCUMENTS ABOUT THIS, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE VERY LITTLE IS GETTING DONE TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED IN A TIMELY MANNER. WHEN CAN MY FAMILY EXPECT TO GET THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS INSTALLED AND BE SAFE RIDING IN OUR CAR?

TAKATA RECALL I REC'D THE RECALL PAPERS AND NOTIFIED MERCEDES OVER THE PAST YEAR AND 1/2 BUT I KEEP GETTING TOLD THEY ARE ON "BACK ORDER" THEY STILL HAVEN'T CONTACTED ME TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. ALSO HEARD MERCEDES SAID THEY AREN'T GOING TO REPLACE BECAUSE THEIR AIRBAGS ARE NOT AFFECTED

TAKATA RECALL. MANUFACTURER DOES NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT.

TAKATA RECALL, I RECIEVED RECALL NOTICE ON THE AIR BAGS IN MY MERCEDES BENZ DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2016. PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. IT IS NOW A YEAR AND A HALF LATER AND STILL ON PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I HAVE LIMITED MY DRIVING OF THIS CAR, CURRENTLY LESS THAN 16,000 MILES ON THE CAR. NOW THAT THEY HAVE FILED CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY I AM WORRIED IT WILL NEVER GET REPLACED AND THE CAR WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY DEVALUED.

TAKATA RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THESE DEFECTS IN A TIMELY MANNER. I AM IN ZONE A AND AFFECTED BY TWO RECALL OVER A YEAR OLD.

TAKATA RECALL - RECALLS WERE ISSUED FOR THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S AIRBAGS IN FEB 2016 AND MAY 2016, RESPECTIVELY. TO DATE, NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN OFFERED, THEREFORE, I AM STILL DRIVING WITH DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS AND AM VULNERABLE TO SUFFERING THE HARM AND/OR LOSS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 MERCEDES BENZ C300. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V081000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL: THE FACT THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A REMEDY TO THIS ISSUE IS TERRIBLE. I WATCHED THE VIDEO OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THIS AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. I'M SUPPOSED TO BE OK WITH THIS WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE EVERYDAY KNOWING THAT IF THERE IS ANY COLLISON OF ANY SORT MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN ARE AT RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH NOT FROM THE COLLISON BUT FROM THE SAFETY DEVICE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US.

TAKATA RECALL - ACTIVE RECALLS WERE ISSUED IN 2/2016 AND 5/2016 BUT I'VE YET TO RECEIVE A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE RECALL STATUS STATES, "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." I RECENTLY RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TK HOLDINGS, INC. THAT TAKATA HAS FILED CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WONDERING WHEN OR IF THIS ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED FOR OWNERS IN DANGER.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM MERCEDES DATED AUGUST 2016 REGARDING THIS RECALL. SINCE THEN I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORT MYERS DEALERSHIP REQUESTING FREE REPLACEMENT. EACH TIME INCLUDING TODAY I WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS OR THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM CORPORATE TO REPLACE THE AIR BAGS. TODAY I RECEIVED A POST CARD REGARDING TK HOLDINGS FILING CHAPTER 11. LAST YEAR MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT CAUSING 19K OF DAMAGE AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF. I DO NOT KNOW IF THAT IS A GOOD THING OR A BAD THING. SHE WAS TRAVELING EAST WHEN I STATIONARY TRUCK PULLED INTO HER LANE CAUSING PASSENGER FRONT END DAMAGE.

Mileage: 46,754

THERE IS A FEAR THAT SOME DAY I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THAT BAG MAY HAVE TO GO OFF

TAKATA RECALL IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL WAS IDENTIFIED AND MERCEDES BENZ STILL DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION OR ESTIMATED TIME WHEN THE REPAIRS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. MY COMPLAINT INVOLVES 2 RECALL NOTICES I RECEIVED ON THE MERCEDES BENZ 300C CLASS WHICH HAS DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIR BAGS ON THE PASSENGER AND THE DRIVER'S SIDES THAT COULD POTENTIALLY KILL. MERCEDES USA SAID IT WILL NOT HAVE AIRBAGS TO REPLACE IN MY CAR UNTIL LATE 2018 FROM NHTSA. MERCEDES BENZ'S RESPONSE IS THAT NO ONE HAS YET DIED IN ONE OF ITS VEHICLES DUE TO TAKATA AIRBAGS. MERCEDES HAS DIRECTED VICTIMS OF THESE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS TO THE NHTSA NATIONAL HIGHWAY AND SAYS THE BAGS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO REPLACE UNTIL LATE 2018 WHEN NHTSA RELEASES THEM. I'VE ALREADY WAITED AND RISKED MY LIFE FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, ACTUALLY 4 YEARS. MERCEDES COULD CARE LESS. MY REQUEST IS THAT MERCEDES RETURN THIS CAR FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THIS CAR IS A 2011. IT WAS WIDELY REPORTED IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL AND OTHER NEWS OUTLETS THAT HONDA AND TAKATA FOUND OUT THE BAGS WERE DEADLY AND DEFECTIVE AS FAR BACK AT LEAST AS 2001, HOWEVER, KEPT IT UNDER WRAPS. MERCEDES KNEW WHEN IT MADE THE DECISION TO PURCHASE THESE AIR BAGS AND INSTALL THEM INTO LATER MODEL VEHICLES, PROBABLY AT DRASTIC DISCOUNTS, THAT THE DEFECTIVE BAGS WERE NO GOOD AND WORSE POTENTIALLY DEADLY. ALREADY PEOPLE HAD DIED FROM THESE AIRBAGS. I DON'T WANT TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO DIE IN A MERCEDES DUE TO THESE AIRBAGS. I JUST HEARD BACK FROM THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD, WHO SAID THAT MERCEDES IS MISINFORMING CONSUMERS. IT DOES NOT HAVE AIRBAGS THAT WILL BE RELEASED IN 2018. I CAN SEND YOU THE LETTER FROM MERCEDES DECLINING TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AND FROM NTSB REFERRING ME TO YOU. I WANT MY MONEY BACK. IT'S THE BIGGEST FLEECE OF AMERICAN CONSUMERS I HAVE EVER SEEN. ALL I HAVE IS A LETTER FROM MERCEDES DECLINING TO TAKE ITS CAR BACK, A PICTURE OF THE WARNING AIRBAG LIGHT THAT COMES ON THE DASH BOARD AND A LETTER FROM NTSB. I CAN MAIL THESE TO YOU IF YOU NEED THEM.

TAKATA RECALL- ITS BEEN MORE THAN 1 YEAR SINCE THE RECALL AND THE MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP IS STILL NOT ABLE TO REPLACE THE FRONT AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS. I DRIVE THIS CAR DAILY... I DON'T THINK THE CONSUMER SHOULD RISK THEIR LIFE IF THERE IS A FAULTY AIRBAG. THERE SHOULD BE SOME OTHER TYPE OF ARRANGEMENTS TO REPLACE THESE FAULT AIRBAGS BY NOW?! THE RECALL NOTICES ARE: 16V081 & 16V363

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 MERCEDES-BENZ C300. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE "CHECK AIR BAGS" MESSAGE APPEARED. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE LOCAL DEALER (PARK PLACE MOTORCARS MERCEDES-BENZ DALLAS, 6113 LEMMON AVE, DALLAS, TX 75209, 214-526-8701) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HE COULD NOT SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HANDLE AIR BAG REPAIRS. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE AND THAT HE WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER WHEN PARTS ARRIVED FOR THE TWO OPEN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V081000 (AIR BAGS) AND 16V363000 (AIR BAGS).

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). MERCEDES NOTIFIED ME IN WRITING THAT OUR FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS WERE DEFECTIVE OVER A YEAR AGO IN JUNE, 2016. I THINK IT IS SCANDALOUS THAT MERCEDES HAS NOT REPAIRED THIS DEFECT IN OVER 15 MONTHS. WHAT CAN I DO TO FORCE MERCEDES TO FULFILL THEIR OBLIGATIONS SURROUNDING THIS RECALL? [XXX] *DL

TAKATA RECALL--MY 2011 MERCEDES BENZ C300 HAD RECALLS FOR DRIVER AND ALSO PASSENGER AIRBAGS ON 2/11/16 AND 5/23/16 RESPECTIVELY. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS AVAILABLE. THANK GOODNESS, MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT DEPLOYED THE AIRBAGS. BUT, I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AS THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS COULD CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY FOR THE DRIVER AND/ OR THE PASSENGER. AS MY CAR IS NOW 6 1/2 YRS OF AGE, I DECIDED TO TRADE IT IN ON A NEW VEHICLE. I WAS GIVEN VERY BAD NEWS THAT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE AIRBAGS, I WOULD GET A VERY LOW OFFER FOR MY TRADE IN. IN FACT, THE DEALERSHIP REALLY DIDN'T WANT MY CAR AS A TRADE AT ALL!!

WHEN ASKED ABOUT FRONTAL COLLISIONS THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. IS THERE ANY POSITIVE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECALL?

TAKATA INFLATORS: 2 RECALLS AND NO ACTION TAKEN BY MERCEDES BENZ. TAKATA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2008. THEY NEED TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE THE PARTS AVAILABLE NOW! 9 YEARS IS LONG ENOUGH TO MANUFACTURE THE DEFECTIVE PART REPLACEMENT.

TAKATA RECALL....I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT MY CAR IS ONE OF THOSE UNDER THIS RECALL AND I HAVE HAD FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AN ALERT ON MY DISPLAY WHEN STARTING THE CAR INDICATING "SRS MALFUNCTION SERVICE REQUIRED". I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO MERCEDES ONCE WHO TOLD ME IT WAS A DUMMY LIGHT AND WAS CLEARED. SEVERAL DAYS LATER IT CAME BACK ON AND MY CALLS TO THE SHOP WERE NOT RETURNED. I THEN LEARNED OF THIS RECALL AND WHEN FINALLY REACHING SOMEONE WAS TOLD IT MAY BE RELATED AND THAT I WILL RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS WHEN A REPAIR WAS FOUND. IT'S BEEN AT LEAST A YEAR AND EVERY DAY I START MY VEHICLE I AM REMINDED THAT I OR ANY PASSENGERS IN MY CAR COULD BE AT RISK IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE THE REVIEWS WERE ASTOUNDING ABOUT THE SAFETY FEATURES. YET HERE I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I DON'T DARE HAVE PASSENGERS IN. I BASICALLY USE THE CAR FOR WORK AND ONLY WORK. IT'S THE QUIVELANT OF HAVING A ONE SEATED CAR. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED ASAP. I HAVE A GRANDSON COMING IN MAY AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT I AM ABLE TO PICK HIM AND/OR MY DAUGHTER UP AND KNOW THAT I CAN SAFELY GET THEM TO DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS AND FOR VISITS. *TR

THE AIR BAGS ON MY C300 MERCEDES 2011 DID NOT DEPLOY DURING FRONT CRASH. THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED AT A T INTERSECTION STREET. I WAS AT THE FRONT LANE AT A T INTERSECTION STOPPING DURING RED LIGHT. A VOLVO CAR FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION THAT WAS TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN-INTO THE STREET THAT I WAS STOPPING ON- CRASHED INTO MY VEHICLE FRONT TO FRONT AS A RESULT OF AVOIDING GETTING CRASHED BY ANOTHER CAR THAT WAS PASSING RED LIGHT INTO IT'S OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE VOLVO THAT CRASHED INTO MY CAR FRONT TO FRONT PUSHED MY VEHICLE ABOUT 10 FEET BACK WORDS AND CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO AN SUV WITH THE REAR RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE INTO THE REAR LEFT SIDE OF THE SUV THAT CAUSED MY CAR TO STOP. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE. I THEN HAVE REQUESTED FROM THE COLLISION CENTER AT THE MERCEDES DEALER WHO HANDLED MY CAR, TO LOOK INTO THE AIR BAGS TO CHECK WHETHER THERE WERE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT WITH THE AIRBAG FOR NOT DEPLOYING. FEW DAYS LATER, MY CAR WAS REPORTED A TOTAL LOSS. *TR
