I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM MERCEDES BENZ USA GIVING ME A DATE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR A AIRBAG RECALL REPLACEMENT WILL BE AVAILABLE AROUND MARCH 31, 2018. IT IS JUNE 26 AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. WAITING FOR ALMOST 12 MONTHS TO HAVE THE AIRBAG RECALL REPLACEMENT PARTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO WAIT ALMOST A YEAR TO BE REPAIRED.

TAMARA RECALL. I JUST WENT TO TRADE IN MY 75K CAR FOR A NEW MERCEDES.THE SALESPERSON TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT WORTH BUT 16K BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT EVEN SELL MY CAR WITH THE FAULTY AIRBAGS AND THE EPA ISSUE. I WANT TO KNOW WHY MERCEDES LET ME DRIVE MY UNSAFE AND NOW VALUELESS CAR FOR 4 YEARS WITHOUT TELLING ME. THE SALESMAN ALSO TOLD ME WHEN IT GETS 100K MILES IT WILL BE WORTH NOTHING! WHAT DO SUGGEST I DO AT THIS POINT?
