GOT A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG RECALL FROM MERCEDES BENZ FOR MY CAR. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ( RMB OF ATLANTA, SANDY SPRINGS, GA ) TO GET IT FIXED IN MY AREA THEY SAID THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT. I WILL HAVE TO WAIT TILL JAN, 2020 FOR THE AIR BAG TO BE FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM A SAFETY & CUSTOMER VIEWPOINT. WHY HAS MERCEDES ISSUED THIS REPLACEMENT NOTICE WHEN THEIR DEALERS CANNOT FIX IT.

TAKATA RECALL. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY PASSANGERS WHILE I AM DRIVING MY CAR ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING MERCEDES DEALERS IN HOPES THAT I CAN BE HELPED AND MY CAR CAN HAVE IT'S AIRBAG REPLACED HOWEVER TO NO AVAIL. I WOULD LIKE TO BE PROVIDED WITH SOME OPTIONS BECAUSE AN ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND I AM FEARFUL OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE AIRBAG RUPTURING CAUSING GREATER DAMAGE. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE AIRBAG COULD RUPTURE IN AREAS WITH HIGH HEAT AND THAT IS VERY ALARMING CONSIDERING SUMMERS IN NYC GET VERY HOT AND HUMID THEREFORE INCREASING THE CHANCES OF THAT RUPTURE IN AN ACCIDENT.
