I HAD A MERCEDES ML350. THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON THAT VEHICLE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SALESMAN TOLD ME THAT THE E400 DID NOT HAVE THE SAME AIRBAGS IN THE CAR AND THAT IT WOULD BE SAFE. I PURCHASED THE NEW VEHICLE AND THOUGHT I WAS SAFE. NOW I HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE. THERE IS NOT A "FIX" FOR MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE. THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT A NEW VEHICLE. I AM IN THE SAME SITUATION THAT I WAS IN BEFORE THE PURCHASE. THE LETTER CAME OUT IN MARCH AND I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THAT THEY SHOULD BE GETTING NEW AIRBAGS SOON. THIS IS NOW SEPTEMBER, AND STILL NOTHING CAN BE DONE.
