TAKATA RECALLS

TAKATA RECALL. OUR COMPLAINT IS REGARDING THE UNREASONABLE DELAY IN PROVIDING US WITH A GOOD REPLACEMENT PART. BECAUSE OF THE RECALL WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE THE CAR OR RISK SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH IF THE AIRBAG SHOULD DEPLOY AND EXPLODE. IN THE MEANTIME WE HAVE TO FIND ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION, CONTINUE MAKING PAYMENTS ON THE CAR, AND ARE UNABLE TO SELL IT. SHOULD WE DECIDE TO USE IT AND GET INJURED BY THE AIRBAG WE WILL HAVE NO REMEDY AT LAW BECAUSE WE THEY WILL CONSIDER THAT ASSUMED THE RISK BY USING IT EVEN WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE RECALL. WE WANTED OUR REPLACEMENT PART MONTHS AGO AND NOW ITS BEEN JUST TOO LONG. OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME RECALL HAVE HAD REPLACEMENTS ALREADY. MERCEDES BENZ IS NOT ACTING FAST ENOUGH AND THIS DELAY CAN ONLY CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS FOR OUR SOCIETY AS A WHOLE AS SOME PEOPLE MAY CONTINUE TO USE THEIR CARS DESPITE THEW RECALL. WE RECEIVED OUR NOTICE IN FEBRUARY OF 2018. TO THE QUESTION BELOW REGARDING "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" I USED THE DATE OF THE RECALL NOTICE. WE HAVE AVOIDED USING THE CAR AND HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THANK YOU.

DID NOT RECEIVE NOTICE REGARDING RECALL ONLY RECEIVED NOTICE THAT THE COMPANY WAS FILING BANKRUPTCY REGARDING THIS RECALL

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION IN OCTOBER 2017 TK HOLDINGS INC.'S CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY. THIS WAS THE FIRST NOTIFICATION THAT I RECEIVED THAT MY 2014 MERCEDES C300 HAD A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER NEVER PROVIDED ONE. I LOOKED UP ON-LINE REGARDING THE RECALL AND DISCOVERED MY CAR IS AFFECTED. I HAD SCHEDULED SERVICES AT THE DENVER MERCEDES DEALERSHIP ON 12/28/17 AND TOOK IN THE DOCUMENTATION I HAD RECEIVED/DISCOVERED ON-LINE AND ASKED MY SERVICE REP ABOUT IT. HE TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO GO ON-LINE AND REGISTER. THAT WAS IT. IF MY CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR A SAFETY REASON I CERTAINLY DESERVE MORE OF AN EXPLANATION THAN BEING TOLD TO GO REGISTER ON-LINE. WHEN WILL THE DEFECT BE RECTIFIED AND WHEN WILL THE MANUFACTURER/DEALER CORRECT THE DEFECT SO THAT I AM NOT IN DANGER?

STEERING WHEEL SPRING GROUNDING PROBLEM CAN ACCIDENTALLY DEPLOY AIRBAG. RECALLED IN OCT 2017 BUT I'M TOLD PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MAY 2018. THIS IS AN UNREASONABLY LONG TIME. I WENT TO TRADE-IN THIS CAR TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE AND WAS TOLD THAT NO DEALER CAN SELL A CAR WITH A PENDING SAFETY RECALL EXCEPT "AS IS" THROUGH AN AUTO AUCTION, WHICH LOWERS THE VALUE OF MY CAR BY OVER $2,000 VERSUS A NORMAL DEALER TRADE. HOW DO I RECOVER THIS LOSS WITHOUT SUING MERCEDES? ARE THERE ANY GOVERNMENT REMEDIES OTHER THAN PRIVATE LAWSUIT?
