Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

TAKATA RECALL. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A YEAR NOW FOR A REPLACEMENT TO BE AVAILABLE. THE DATE FOR A REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN CONTINUALLY PUSHED BACK, AND IT IS UNCLEAR WHEN, IF EVER, A FIX WILL BE AVAILABLE. MERCEDES NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING TO GET THIS FIXED, OR TO MAKE IT RIGHT.

TAKATA RECALL. RECALL IN FEBRUARY 2016, NOTIFIED IN MAY 2016, AND WAS ADVISED RECENTLY BY LOCAL MERCEDES DEALERSHIP THAT PARTS TO REPAIR ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, OTHER BRANDS (HONDA) HAVE EXCESS PARTS BUT MERCEDES HAS NONE. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR OVER 4 MONTHS DUE TO THIS DEADLY SAFETY RECALL.
