2013 MERCEDES BENZ E350 Air Bags Problems

The contact owns a 2013 Mercedes-Benz E350. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V017000 (Air Bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the recall notification stated mobile repair service was available however, the contact was declined the mobile repair service. The contact stated that she had been attempting to have the recall repair completed for almost a year. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Contacted Mercedes because Dealer said it was a common problem. Airbag light was on. I was told that airbags could unsafely deploy as driving the vehicle and the issue was connected to the steering column. After looking online, I found that there are several drivers that could be in unsafe conditions while driving the car who reported the same thing. I contacted Mercedes to advise and Mercedes was dismissive. My concern is for innocent people that could be in danger because of Mercedes defects or possible negligence in addressing the safety issue that could lead to the loss of life.

JAN 18,2019 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER2019010001 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER19V010 RECALL STATUSRECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE MERCEDES BENZ ALERTED ME OF THE PROBLEM 2 YEARS AGO AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE NOR PROVIDED THE TIMING TO DO SO. I OWN A LUXURY, VERY EXPENSIVE MODEL. PER THE RECALL, THE FAULTY AIR BAG IS DANGEROUS. IT STATED THAT: ' UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES DURING A CRASH THAT NECESSITATES FRONTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, THE DEFECT IN YOUR PASSENGER-SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO EXPLODE. A PASSENGER-SIDE INFLATOR EXPLOSION DURING DEPLOYMENT COULD RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE FRONT PASSENGER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS, POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.' I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND IT IS THEIR OBLIGATION TO CORRECT A DEFECT THAT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. SAFETY RISK: ACCORDING TO TAKATA, IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR EXPLOSION, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. REMEDY: AN AUTHORIZED MERCEDES-BENZ DEALER WILL REPLACE THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG. PLEASE ADVISE HOW I CAN RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND HAVE THE NECESSARY REPAIR COMPLETED NOW. I CANNOT WAI ANY LONGER, OTHER WISE, I WILL SEEK LEGAL DAMAGES. I WOULD PREFER A FASTER WAY TO RESOLVE THIS RATHER THAN GOING TO COURT.

TAKATA RECALL" THE RECALL ON MY AIR BAG HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE JAN 2019 AND THE PART STILL ISN'T IN. IT SAYS IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY, METAL FRAGMENTS CAN FLY OUT AND KILL THE PERSON, THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF ASAP! IT DIDN'T HAPPEN YET BUT I WANT A PUSH TO GET THIS RECALL COMPLETED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

TAKATA RECALL - MANUFACTURER HAS STONEWALLED AND SLOW WALKED A RESOLUTION TO REPLACEMENT OF THE POTENTIALLY DEADLY AND DANGEROUS TAKATA AIRBAGS. CONSEQUENTLY, I DO NOT ALLOW MY WIFE AND FAMILY TO DRIVE THIS CAR FEARFUL OF THE IMPLICATIONS OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE CAR BASICALLY SITS IN MY GARAGE AND HAS LOW MILES. MERCEDES COMMUNICATED A SOLUTION IN FEBRUARY 2018 VIA THE ATTACHED CORRESPONDENCE BUT HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. I'M STUCK WITH THIS CAR SINCE ITS TRADE-IN VALUE IS NEGATIVELY AFFECTED UNTIL THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED.

Mileage: 22,000

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTICE ON 2/18/19, AND MERCEDES INFORMS ME THAT REPLACEMENT AIR BAG WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MAY 2020. GIVEN THAT THE AIR BAG FAILURE MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, MERCEDES SHOULD REPLACE IT ASAP, OR DISCONNECT THE POWER TO THE AIR BAG.

ACCIDENT IN WHICH VEHICLE WILL BE TOTALED. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. HIT A POLE ON CENTER DIVIDER. MERCEDES ROADSIDE WAS ON SCENE IN MINUTES AND TOWED MY CAR. THEY SAID THE SYSTEM ALERTED THEM TO THE CRASH.

OPEN RECALL WITHOUT A REMEDY. THIS IS A DAILY SAFETY HAZARD AS I AM FORCED TO OPERATE MY VEHICLE WITHOUT A REMEDY. BEING MY CAR IS A COUPE PROVIDES ANOTHER INCONVENIENCE.
