2011 Mercedes-Benz C350 Airbags Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the airbag system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Airbags reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE A LONG TIME AGO (AS MUCH AS 2 YEARS OR MORE?). I KEEP CHECKING WITH THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. I DON'T LIKE THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS AS WELL AS THE POSSIBLE IMPACT ON THE VALUE OF MY CAR. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO EXPEDITE REPLACEMENT?

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR OVER A YEAR TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED. MY LOCAL DEALER , FORT MYERS MERCEDES - BENZ CONTINUALLY TELLS ME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS BUT THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE CAR AS THEY WON'T PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO RENT ANOTHER CAR WHILE MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR.
