I called the Dealership to schedule the appointment. They told me they have no appointment available for next 3 weeks and even I wait for that long they will not be able to provide me a loaner car. The total job time is 4-6hrs I am not willing to wait that long. This dealership was not helpful at all in-spite of this is a very serious safety concern. STOP DRIVE REMEDY.

I HAD JUST ARRIVED AT CHURCH AND NOTICED THE CAR LEANING TO THE RIGHT SIDE. I IGNORED IT AT FIRST THINKING MAYBE THE DRIVEWAY WAS UNEVEN. WHEN I GOT READY TO LEAVE MY BOYFRIEND POINTED IT OUT TO ME THAT THE TRUCK WAS LEANING TO THE RIGHT. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO BE CHECKED OUT AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. THERE WAS NO MESSAGE REGARDING ANYTHING ON THE MESSAGE BOARD EXCEPT SERVICE C WAS SO MANY MILES OVERDUE. CALLED MERCEDES AND THEY TOLD ME REAR AIR BAG. COST WOULD BE AROUND $1600. CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THE DEALER WOULD NOT PUT A RECALL FIR THIS PROBLEM. *TR
