2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Air Bags & Restraints Problems

I was involved in a head on collision when a motorist driving in the wrong lane hit the front of my car in the evening of 10/2/24. The impact was huge and my car was totaled. However, my airbag did not deploy and I hit my chest and knees very hard against the steering wheel and dashboard. Airbag deployment is a basic safety feature during an accident particularly in a luxury vehicle like Mercedes Benz that is known for its safety record.

BOUGHT THE CAR TWO DAYS AGO THE THE AIR RIDE START LEAKING

TAKATA RECALL. I THOUGHT THE REPAIR HAS BEEN DONE. SO, WHY THIS NOTICE?

TOOK MY CAR TO MERCEDES BENZ OF CHICAGO ON 2 OCCASIONS FOR THE RECALL. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG THAT WAS RECALLED UNLESS I GET THE SEATBELT RETRACTOR FIXED WHICH WAS $600. THEY ALSO TRIED TO GET ME TO LOOK AT NEWER VEHICLES TO PURCHASED. I FEEL LIKE THEY WERE TRYING TO GET ME TO SPEND MONEY ON LABOR FOR OTHER THINGS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO GET RECALL DONE. I ALSO DIDN'T LIKE THE FACT THAT THEY KEPT MY CAR OVERNIGHT AND MADE SALES CALLS TO ME.

MERCEDES KEEPS EXTENDING THE DATE TO REPLACE MY AIR BAGS. THEY SAY THAT CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE BAGS AREN'T AVAILABLE. HOW ARE THE STILL MAKING NEW CARS WITH AIRBAGS IF MY AREN'T AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT? THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE RECALL FIRST CAME OUT.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO HAVE MY TAKATA AIRBAGS REPLACED, ONLY TO BE TOLD BY MERCEDES THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO SPEED THIS FIX UP. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD SON THAT HAS STARTED TO DRIVE. I NEED THIS ISSUE FIXED IMMEDIATELY. MERCEDES IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET. I COULD HAVE MY CAR IN THE SHOP TODAY IF THEY WERE WILLING TO FIX IT.

TAKATA RECALL, NO REMEDY HAS BEEN AVAILABLE FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL.\]\

TAKATA RECALL IN DEC 2017 I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY AIRBAG INITIATORS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AND PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE BY MARCH 31,2018. ACCORDING TO MERCEDES THEY HAVE NO IDEA AS OF TODAY (10/22/2018) WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I HAVE INTENTIONALLY AVOIDED DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST ONE YEAR BECAUSE OF THE HAZARD THAT EXISTS WITH THE AIRBAG. ( I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 1500 MILES SINCE LAST DECEMBER) THIS SITUATION IS UNSATISFACTORY. MY PATIENCE HAS ENDED. OTHER THAN SELLING THE VEHICLE, WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS NOW ?

TAKATA RECALL I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY REMEDY, I USE MY VEHICLE EVERYDAY I NEED THIS TO BE FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE NO TYPE OF INJURY HAS HAPPENED OR DEATH BUT I AM NOT WAITING UNTIL THIS DAY OCCURS PLEASE HELP.

TAKATA RECALL. WAS INFORMED OF AIRBAG DEFECTIVE CONDITION OVER A YEAR AGO AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO DATE BY THE MERCEDES DEALERSHIP
