TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. MERCEDES REFUSES TO REPLACE OR REPAIR. THEY SAID THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WITH THIS CAR. WE LIVE IN FLORIDA WHICH IS HIGH HUMIDITY STATE AND HIGH HUMIDITY CAN CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO EXPLODE ON THEIR OWN AT ANY TIME.

MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING THRU INTERSECTION WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN A RED LIGHT. I HIT THE BRAKES, BUT STILL CRASHED INTO SIDE OF OTHER VEHICLE AT 20-25 MPH.
