DRIVING 25 MPH AROUND A CURVE WHEN MY CAR LOST CONTROL, DESPITE MY BEST ATTEMPTS MY CAR WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO TAKE CONTROL OR TO BREAK. MY CAR WENT FROM 25 MPH TO 60 MPH THROUGH A TWO LANE TRAFFIC STREET, FORCING ME TO SWERVE IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC MERELY MISSING SIX CARS AND A SEMI TRAILER TRUCK, SPINNING MY CAR AROUND TWICE AND FACING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF TRAFFIC.

NOTICE RECEIVED MARCH 2019 REGARDING TAKATA AIRBAG (PASSENGER) RECALL. CONTACTED MERCEDES-BENZ FOR REPLACEMENT INFORMATION. WAS TOLD THAT REPLACEMENTS WERE ON ORDER BUT NOT RECEIVED. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER SEVERAL TIMES DURING 2019, SAME INFORMATION PROVIDED. SUBMITTED COMPLAINT TO NHTSA 21 JANUARY 2020 WHICH PROVOKED A CONTACT FROM MANUFACTURER STATING THAT REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN OCTOBER 2020. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER TODAY, 7 OCTOBER 2020 FOR UPDATE: NO INFORMATION, STILL WAITING ON REPLACEMENTS. AS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS BEEN DEEMED DEFECTIVE AND AS I LIVE IN THE ENVIRONMENT DETERMINED TO HAVE AN ACCELERATED DEGRADATION OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT COMPONENTS, I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LACK OF MOVEMENT BY MERCEDES-BENZ ON A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE; TO MITIGATE THE INJURY/DEATH RISK, I DELIBERATELY LIMIT THE VEHICLE'S USE. NEED ACTION BY MERCEDES-BENZ ASAP.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY 2015 GLK350. WHEN I PURCHASED IT THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL MERCEDES DEALER TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR THE ISSUE. SO I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH THE AIRBAG TURNED OFF(BY THE DEALER) AND THE DEALER CAN'T TELL ME WHEN OR IF THIS WILL BE REPLACED.
