AIR BAGS · reported 2020-02-17

“This recall has been open 11 months with no remedy yet available. I'm afraid to drive with passengers in the front seat due to the faulty air bag that exists in my car. Please make the manufacturer replace the defective air bag so that my car is safe once again.”

AIR BAGS · reported 2019-12-03

“Mercedes-benz contacted me about the recall to fix the issue but the recall states 'recall incomplete remedy not yet available'. If this is the case then why did they contact me to supposedly fix the issue?”
