MY 2011 C-300 HAS TWO RECALLS PENDING FOR BOTH AIR BAGS (DRIVER AND PASSENGER). I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO MBUSA FOR OVER 2 YEARS TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. TO THIS DAY 11/06/2017 MBUSA HAD MADE NO ATTEMPT TO CONTACT ME OR PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE REAR SEAT-BELTS LOCKUP ON PASSENGERS AND RATCHET DOWN CONSISTENTLY WITH LITTLE MOVEMENT THEREBY REQUIRING THE PASSENGERS TO UNFASTEN THEIR BELTS AND RIDE WITHOUT THE SEAT BELT BEING FASTENED. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND BOTH PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN EXISTING FROM THE PURCHASE DATE MARCH 2011
