TAKATA RECALL THIS MERCEDES RECALL WAS INITIATED IN JUNE 2016 AND PRIORITY WAS GIVEN TO OLDER CARS IN WARMER CLIMATES. WE LIVE IN FLORIDA AND WE HAVE A 2011 E350 CONVERTIBLE. TODAYS DATE IS AUG 4TH 2018 OVER TWO YEARS LATER, SEVERAL MISSED DEADLINES HAVE COME AND GONE WITH VAGUE EXCUSES ABOUT AIRBAG AVAILABILITY. WHEN IS THE NHTSA GOING TO INTERVENE? I JUST CALLED MY LOCAL ORANGE PARK MB DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD MAYBE BY DECEMBER THE AIRBAGS WILL ARRIVE. SORRY, I JUST DO NOT BELIEVE THEM BASED ON THEIR TRACK RECORD. WHAT IF THE AIR BAG GOES OFF AND MY WIFE AND 11YR OLD SON ARE KILLED? THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE, BASICALLY THE CARS COULD KILL THE DRIVERS. SURELY THIS IS WHAT NHTSA IS SETUP FOR? DOES THIS AGENCY HAVE ANY POWERS TO ACT AND PROTECT CONSUMERS? PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE MORE PEOPLE DIE.

TAKATA RECALL -- CONSIDERING HOW POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND EVEN FATAL THE MALFUNCTIONING TAKATA AIRBAG(S) MAY BE IN MY VEHICLE AND THAT IT HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR YEARS THAT THE AIRBAG(S) MAY PRODUCE DEADLY SHRAPNEL, IT IS TAKING FAR TOO LONG TO HAVE THE RECALL PARTS MADE AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT IN MY VEHICLE. TAKATA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THE SAFE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG COMPONENTS NEEDED AND/OR MERCEDES BENZ SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO ENSURE THAT THE AIRBAG(S) WILL BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. THE DELAY IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND BOTH TAKATA AND THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO GET THIS RESOLVED IN ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. THE INCIDENT DATE LISTED BELOW (7/20/18) IS JUST THE DATE OF MY COMPLAINT.
