2013 MERCEDES BENZ C300 Air Bags Problems

I had just gotten off the highway it was a rainy day and pulled into my driveway when airbag deployed on its own. I am lucky to be alive. I purchased this vehicle about 2 yrs or so ago and ran carfax that showed recall was fixed by manufacturer. I contacted Mercedes corporate office and it’s been almost two weeks with me calling and emailing w no call backs or any resolution. I don’t have a car and could have been seriously injured. Please help.

TAKATA RECALL: LOCAL MERCEDES DEALER IN NAPERVILLE IL IS UNABLE TO PROMPTLY REPLACE THE PROBLEMATIC AIR BAG, GIVING POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT DATE OF SOME TIME IN 2020! WE ARE CONCERNED THAT OUR FAMILY WILL BE IN POTENTIAL DANGER FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS, WE CARRY A CHILD IN OUR CAR! PLEASE FORCE MERCEDES TO PROMPTLY REPLACE THE AIR BAG. THANKS.

I WENT TO AN AUTHORIZED MB DEALER AND THEY DID THE RECALL FOR THE STEERING COLUMN BUT NOT FOR THE AIR BAGS. I ALSO BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE DUE TO THE FACT THAT OIL HAS SIPHONED ITS WAY UP THE CAM MAGNETS AND SOLENOIDS THRU THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS TO THE MAIN FUEL COMPUTER AND HAS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO BE OUT OF TIMING. ACCORDING TO YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP'S TECH THIS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SEIZE. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH RECALLS FOR OTHER ENGINES BUT IS STILL HAPPENING ON NUMEROUS MERCEDES BENZ VEHICLES.

TAKATA RECALL - THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN RECALLED ON JAN 2016 AND OCT 2017 AND TO DATE NO REMEDY HAS TAKEN PLACE.

SINCE OCTOBER 30, 2017 WE HAVE BEEN INQUIRING OF THE MERCEDES BENZ DEALER THAT SOLD AND SERVICES THE VEHICLE IF IT HAS PARTS TO REMEDY THE SITUATION IN NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 17V627. THE DEALER CONTINUES TO CONTEND THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN PROVIDED THE NECESSARY PARTS.

I RECEIVED A RECALL INOVEMBER 2017 AND AM UNABLE TO GET MB TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX AN INSUFFICIENT GROUNDING COMPONENT IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH MAY CAUSES AN ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE WHICH DEPLOYS THE TAKATA AIRBAG WITH RESULTANT ACCIDENT OCCURRENCE. I AM IN FEAR WHEN DRIVING. MB HAS NOT RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST. THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED ME WITH A SAFE CAR; THEY HAVE IGNORED REQUESTS; THEY HAVE GIVEN NO ANSWER TO MY LETTER AND PHONE CALLS TO CEO EXLER IN ATLANTA OR ANY PERSON IN MANHATTAN MAIN OFFICE. THEY HAVE DEVALUED THE WORTH OF MY CAR IF I TRIED TO SELL IT. THEY HAVE RIPPED OFF THE SYSTEM, WHILE SPENDING MILLIONS ON MARKETING. CARS THEY PRODUCED FOR 2018 WERE SOLD WITH RECALLS. THERE ARE MILLIONS ON THE ROAD FROM 2012 THROUGH 2018 THAT I HAVE FOUND SO FAR FROM GOVERNMENT PUBLISHED LISTS OF RECALLED MERCEDES BENZ MODELS. WHEN WILL I LEARN THERE ARE ACCIDENTS ALREADY CAUSED BY THESE RECALL FAILURES? MILLIONS WILL BE SPENT FOR HUSH MONEY TO THE MEDIA, BUT NO MONEY FOR RECALL CORRECTION.I HAVE SERVICED MY CAR PER MANUAL DIRECTION, AND PRIOR TO RECALL HAD EXTENDED MY WARRANTY BY TWO YEARS TO THE TUNE OF $2800+++ WILL YOU ANSWER THIS COMPLAINT? SHOULD ALL OF US SO AFFECTED HOLD OUR BREATHS?

TAKATA RECALL - PER THE NHTSA AND MERCEDES WEBSITE INFORMATION OUR VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN NHTSA RECALL #16V081 WHICH IS THE DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION FROM MERCEDES RELATED TO THIS RECALL AND/OR WHEN OUR VEHICLE'S AIRBAG INFLATOR WILL BE FIXED. WE THEREFORE CONTACTED MERCEDES BENZ CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO ESCALATED OUR CONCERN TO ONE OF THEIR MANAGERS. WE RECEIVED A CALL ON 4/6/18 FROM PATRICIA WAGNER WHO STATED SHE REPRESENTED MERCEDES BENZ AND ADVISED THEY WILL NOT REPLACE OUR DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR. SHE FURTHER ADVISED THAT THE NHTSA RECALL INFORMATION IS INCORRECT AND THAT RECALL #16V081 IS A PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL AND THAT WE NEEDED TO CONTACT NHTSA AND SPREAK WITH A SUPERVISOR TO FIND OUT WHY THEY (NHTSA) WERE PROVIDING INCORRECT INFORMATION.

TAKATA RECALL-- I CONTACTED MERCEDES BENZ CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND ALTHOUGH THERE WERE 15 DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL, THEIR REPRESENTATIVE VERBALLY INDICATED TO ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE, SHE PROMISED A WRITTEN LETTER STATING THAT BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT. SHE ALSO INDICATED THAT ALL PARTS FOR THE 2 RECALLS WON'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2019. IN THE MEANTIME THEY HAVE NO POLICY TO PROVIDE A CAR RENTAL STIPEND OR A CAR LOANER. OTHER MANUFACTURERS WITH CARS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS OFFERED SUCH REMEDIES IN TURN FOR A SIGNED DOCUMENT THAT SAYS YOU WOULD NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE UNTIL THE PART IS AVAILABLE. MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER HAD USE OF A LOANER FROM NISSAN FOR 3 MONTHS! PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO HAVE MERCEDES PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT WITH A CAR RENTAL OR LOANER SO I DO NOT HAVE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT IS VIEWED AS UNSAFE.

TAKATA RECALL...ISSUED OVER 2 YEARS AGO AND THERE IS STILL NO FIX AND MERCEDES HAS NO FIX SUCH A RENTING A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY. I WROTE TO MERCEDES ASKING FOR THIS AND WAS DENIED. OTHER MFG., BMW & HONDA PROVIDE THIS SERVICE TO LIMIT POTENTIAL LIABILITY.

THIS IS REGARDING RECALL NUMBER NHTSA 17V627 AND MANUFACTURER # 2017100005. SUMMARY OF RECALL: DAIMLER AG (DAG), THE MANUFACTURER OF MERCEDES-BENZ VEHICLES, HAS DETERMINED THAT ON CERTAIN B-CLASS ELECTRIC, C-CLASS, E-CLASS AND CLA, GLA, GLC, GLK-CLASS VEHICLES (242, 204, 205, 207, 212, 117, 156, 253 PLATFORM) AN ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE, WHEN COMBINED WITH A BROKEN STEERING COLUMN MODULE CLOCK SPRING AND AN INSUFFICIENT GROUNDING OF THE STEERING COMPONENTS, COULD LEAD TO AN INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER AIRBAG. A BROKEN STEERING COLUMN MODULE CLOCK SPRING ACTIVATES A DRIVER AIRBAG WARNING MESSAGE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AS WELL AS THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LAMP. AN INADVERTENT DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MAY CAUSE A RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND MIGHT INCREASE THE RISK OF A POTENTIAL CRASH. I CONTACTED AN AUTHORIZED MERCEDES-BENZ DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE PART TO FIX THE RECALL ISSUE IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE GIVEN IT COULD "CAUSE A RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND MIGHT INCREASE THE RISK OF A POTENTIAL CRASH". WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE REGARDING THIS AND TO ENSURE MY VEHICLE IS REPAIRED & SAFE IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER? IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER 5 MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED!

I RECEIVED TWO SAFETY RECALL NOTICES FROM DAIMLER AG (DAG) REGARDING AIR BAG ISSUES SINCE OCTOBER 2017, BOTH OF WHICH INDICATE THAT "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." THE MOST RECENT ONE (ISSUED JANUARY 2018) IS RELATED TO THE TAKATA RECALL: "ACCORDING TO TAKATA, IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS" THE FIRST RECALL, ISSUED OCTOBER 2017 RELATES TO: "DAIMLER AG (DAG), THE MANUFACTURER OF MERCEDES-BENZ VEHICLES, HAS DETERMINED THAT ON CERTAIN B-CLASS ELECTRIC, C-CLASS, E-CLASS AND CLA, GLA, GLC, GLK-CLASS VEHICLES (242, 204, 205, 207, 212, 117, 156, 253 PLATFORM) AN ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE, WHEN COMBINED WITH A BROKEN STEERING COLUMN MODULE CLOCK SPRING AND AN INSUFFICIENT GROUNDING OF THE STEERING COMPONENTS, COULD LEAD TO AN INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER AIRBAG.

TAKATA RECALL.

WE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY ON THIS CAR DUE TO ITS "SAFETY", YET WE ARE NOT SAFE AND OUR LIVES ARE NOT IN GOOD HANDS DUE ACCIDENT. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS AND CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CONTACT ME , VIA THE ISSUE AT HAND . [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL I WANT TO GO ON RECORD HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM THAT PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR SUCH A DANGEROUS RECALL. STATING 'AIRBAG EXPLOSION CAUSING SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH' IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS. OTHER OPTIONS SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY. I INTEND TO TALK WITH MY MERCEDES DEALER AS WELL. THIS MAY PUT UNDUE BURDEN ON THE DEALERS AS WELL. NEWER VEHICLES SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMERS IF THIS IS NOT RESOLVED. THERE IS A HIGH RISK FACTOR AND INCREASED APPREHENSION EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL ON FEBRUARY 26, 2018, I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM MERCEDES BENZ USA ("MERCEDES") WITH RESPECT TO A DEFECT ON THE "TAKATA" AIRBAGS, NOTING THAT "A PASSENGER-SIDE INFLATION EXPLOSION DURING DEPLOYMENT COULD RESULT IN SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE FRONT PASSENGER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS, POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH." THE LETTER ALSO NOTES THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE. I CALLED MERCEDES TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHY, IF I AM DRIVING A CAR THAT IS DEEMED TO BE UNSAFE AND PER THE ABOVE, COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH, A REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD THAT MERCEDES SENT THE LETTER WITH THE VERBIAGE AS IT APPEARED FROM TAKATA, THAT MANY OTHER MANUFACTURERS WERE IMPACTED BY THIS RECALL, AND THAT MERCEDES WAS "LOW ON THE LIST" FOR REPLACEMENTS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW OR WHY I SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE A CAR WITH MY FAMILY IN IT THAT IS DEEMED TO BE UNSAFE. I FURTHER DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MERCEDES IS NOT TAKING ANY ACTION TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. MERCEDES DETERMINED THAT BOTH THEY AND YOU (AS THE REGULATOR) DETERMINED THAT THE CAR IS IN FACT SAFE, YET THE LETTER I WAS PROVIDED STATES OTHERWISE. PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE.

WHEN I CONTACTED MERCEDES BENZ OF ORLANDO THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER RECALL.
