TAKATA RECALL. BEEN WAITING FOR REMEDY SINCE FEBRUARY 11, 2016. THIS VEHICLE IS STILL OPERATING. HOW IS THERE NOT A REMEDY YET?
HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE
TAKATA INFLATORS - HAS BEEN RECALLED SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2016. MERCEDES BENZ SAYS THIS HAS NOT BEEN SCHEDULED DUE TO A LACK OF PARTS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ON MERCEDES PART TO CORRECT THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IN THE WORDS OF MERCEDES BENZ IN A LETTER SENT BY THEM IN APRIL OF 2016. I WOULD LIKE SOME PRESSURE PUT ON MERCEDES TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE ASAP.
TAKATA RECALL. THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED WITHOUT NOTIFICATION TO THE PURCHASER. MOREOVER, THE OWNER HAS NOT BEEN PROVIDED ANY INFORMATION RELATING TO THE RECALL. THE SELLERS AND MANUFACTURERS OF THE VEHICLE HAVE NO ABILITY TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SET ON ANY SCHEDULE FOR REPAIR. THE SELLERS AND MANUFACTURERS HAVE REFUSED TO REPAIR, REPLACE OR EXCHANGE THE VEHICLE AT ALL. THIS HAS LEFT THE CONSUMER WITH A VEHICLE WHICH IS UNSAFE AND THUS, UNUSABLE.
