TAKATA RECALL. THIS RECALL STARTED IN FEBRUARY 2016, AND NOW, NINE MONTHS LATER, THERE IS NO INDICATION WHEN THE AIRBAGS WILL BE REPLACED. I WILL NOT LET MY CHILD RIDE IN THE VEHICLE, AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY TAKATA ADMITS THERE IS A DEFECT, BUT THE REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN MADE. AT A MINIMUM, I SHOULD BE GIVEN A FREE REPLACEMENT CAR TO DRIVE WHILE MINE IS UNDER A RECALL THAT COULD BE LIFE THREATENING.

IT HAS BEEN SINCE FEB. OF 2016 THAT I WAS NOTIFIED OF A POTENTIALLY FATAL AIR BAG FAULT. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY TRIPS DUE TO THAT POTENTIAL DANGER. I THINK MERCEDES SHOULD NOW PROVIDE SOME SORT OF "LOANER"
