Recall on drivers side airbag in february 2016. Recall incomplete. No remedy from company(tk holdings inc.-takata) that made the airbags.i cannot trade in my car or sell it with this recall... Value of my car is way down due to this.
Warning light comes on: a) front passenger airbag disabled, see operators manualb) front passenger airbag enabled, see operators manualc) esp warning light also comes onadult passenger is always seated and with seat belt on when these error messages come on. Vehicle has been in the service department over 11 times 6 of them for the airbag error message! dealer service department can't fix it without an error message? god forbid there's an accident and the passenger in my vehicle get seriously hurt or die due to airbag not deploying! there is no money in the world to recompense a loss of a loved one!!!
Takata recall: i've been waiting since early 2016 to get my bags replaced. Dealership has told me they are still waiting.
Takata recall -- inaction from mercedes benzwe first reached out to mercedes in early may of this year. We called several local dealers to ask about when they could have their airbag replaced, but we couldn't get an answer. We then contacted mercedes corporate. We have since exchanged many emails and many phone calls, but the car remains unrepaired.at first, it seemed like we were making progress: we were told parts would be ready in june 2018.we asked that mercedes confirm this date, and they did, via email on may 18.we followed up in june to ask if the parts were still on track. We received an email on june 12 from mercedes quality assurance department saying "i have checked with our product advisor today and was advised that the june 30 date for airbag availability is realistic and they have no reason to believe they will be delayed." we inquired again as the end of the month approached and mercedes wrote: "i have confirmed that the takata replacement for your father's vehicle will be carried out as previously advised. The campaign will be launched today and customer letters will be sent out on june 29th. The dealers are being notified today."however, the scheduled delivery for the parts came and passed. We called three mercedes dealers in orange county, ca.none had the part and none knew when the part would get there.again, we had to be the bridge between the local dealers and mercedes corporate.once we finally reached mercedes, they changed the date of delivery of the takata airbag parts to december 2018. Schedules slip, but not to this degree and so suddenly without any insight. Lastly, when we pressed for some commitment that the december date would be met, we were told that we could be years away from addressing the danger. We are deeply concerned for ourselves and others driving these dangerous vehicles.

Takata recall lack of action

Takatarecall. This complaint is to inform you that takata / mercedes benz have yet to replace my airbag despite the fact that there has been a recall notice out since may of 2016. I spoke today with the dealer whom i purchased my car from new. I was told they were still waiting on parts.
Takata recallattempts to have defect replaced have been futile. Continue to refer me to mbusaand only getting a recorded message despite mailings saying take care to dealership for repair. I'm being told they have no notice of recall when there is!
Takata recall
Takata recall - mercedes recalled my vehicle febuary 2016 and still without a remedy may 2017. Tried trading in the car, but dealer won't take the vehicle due to recall issue. Fifteen months should be ample time to resolve a major safety recall issue such as this.
Takata recall - mercedes benz committed to a date and then reneged.our vehicle is one of the oldest vehicles and in the highest priority zone for the takata recall and airbag replacement. It is already two years past the deadline for mercedes to have replaced the airbag. After weeks of emails and phone calls this past spring, mercedes promised us the part would be ready on june 30. They repeatedly confirmed this date until the day passed and no part arrived. Now they say it will be december at the earliest, or that it could actually be years until the defective airbag is replaced. Meanwhile, this vehicle is dangerous to drive, but unlike other automakers, mercedes is not offering a loaner vehicle to use safel yin the meantime.

Takata recall - air bag still not available to be fixed. Would like to get this fixed!!
Takatarecalli got letters from mercedes benz every year since 2014. They informed me that my vehicle has a defective airbag inflator and they will come back to me for a service appointment. October 2017 a got a letter from tk holding inc. And they recommend me to contact my nearest dealership immediately to schedule a free repair. I called mercedes benz plano 10/24/2017 in order to set up a service appointment and to my surprise they told me my car has no recall and it's no problem with my cars airbag. I asked themto explain why i got letter from them during the last 3 years regarding recall of my vehicle. They said they must send out letters to all owners according to the law and it's no problem with my car.according to your website: recall status: recall incomplete remedy not yet available. Apparently i got the wrong information from mercedes benz plano and i can not understand how it can take several years to change my cars airbag.can you please help me to solve this serious problem as soon as possible.

"takata recall" i am concerned that i still have no idea when to expect my vehicle to be repaired for the recall. I have registered with mercedes and have contacted my local dealership. They too have not been given any information as to when to expect the repairs.

Nothing has happened to the vehicle, i am just inquiring regarding the recall and when i can expect some action.

Takata recall.it seems to me that the government is protecting the manufactures and not the public.mercedes, in particular, keeps pushing any action.if you read their extension letter dated 3/1/2018.https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot.gov/files/documents/redacted_-_mbusa_extension_request_for_priority_group_4_3.1.18_revised.pdfit's pretty clear that addressing this is low on their priority list.they claim to have trouble obtaining a car and shipping it to germany.give me a break.i could have the car in less than a week and ship in another week to germany.they ask for an extension until 6/30/2018.i now see that they have pushed it until 12/31/2018, probably because they are having trouble finding another model.i ask that you protect the public and stop giving extensions for ridiculous reason like not being able to obtain a particular model.they have had 2 years to do what i could do in a day.here are 79 on autotrader.comhttps://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/mercedes-benz/c+280/redondo+beach+ca-90278?zip=90278&startyear=2008&endyear=2009&makecodelist=mb&searchradius=0&modelcodelist=c280%2cmbc350e%2cc350&sortby=derivedpricedesc&numrecords=25&firstrecord=0please do you job and force the manufactures to do theirs.

Takata recall.we received a notice from mercedes that our car was part of the recall due to faulty takata airbags and that we would be notified when the part was available so we could get the necessary repair.almost a year later, there are still no parts available, according to our local mercedes service department.this is unacceptable and is putting my family at risk every time we drive our car.these parts need to be available!!
We've been notified of this airbag recall since february 2016 and have been trying to get them replaced. No dealer ever has the parts.it has been impossible to have them replaced. If injured or worse we will file a law suite.

Takata recall- hasn't been resolved yet.
Takata airbag recall has lasted over two years with no resolution. All date predictions and there were many, have come and gone. Is this a death wish!!!! someone needs to do their job! safety counsul?????
Takata recall. Mercedes benz had issued a recall for my airbags and had notified me in february 2016. The issue was not resolved and i received another notice in the mail from mercedes benz in january of 2017. The issue is yet to be resolved, even though mercedes benz claims they have not had any issues with their vehicles and that they sent the letter as a precautionary measure. It is now the end of november and they do not know when the repair kit will be available. It is going on almost two years and i feel like this issue has not been resolved in a timely manner.i drive in fear each day since this recall was issued. I have made numerous calls to the dealer and also mercedes benz corporate office to see if there are any updates about this recall and have got nowhere.

2010 ml350 starts right up when cold in the morning. If i go to a store and return to the car when i insert and turn the key nothing happens no lights on dash. After struggling for 5 minutes trying everything from locking/unlocking opening doors turning key slowly it finally starts. This problem started a month ago and is becoming more frequent now. After reading numerous complains on forums i assume it is the esi (electronic system ignition) and it is an expensive fix so i called merc benz and complained and asked if there is a recall. There is no recall and customer service told me she is not a mechanic and wants me to take it to the dealer. As i am aware this repair cost customers from 1200-1800 dollars.
On august 1st 2017 bought brand new battery from mercedes-benz of easton.installed in next couple of weeks without any issue.on sept 12th 2017 around 2.45pm started the car(in the driveway) and went inside to get my mobile.when i came out to te car, saw big smoke inside and immediately switched off the engine.saw flames coming underneath of passenger seat andimmediately poured water.later observed battery ignited the flames and even top of the battery started melting. Called mbusa and reported the incident, and was promised that a supervisor will call back.waiting to hear back from mbusa.it was so scary, and i can't even imagine what if this happened on freeway.
2010 mercedes ml350 led style brake lights fail gradually, one led or one row at a time, gradually diminishing the brake light intensity.both the right and left brake lights are failing in the same manner.the hazard of losing vehicle brake lights is obvious.
Vehicle won't go into park, drive, neutral, or reverse when i push the button to tell it to. Vehicle's turn signals don't turn on when i move the handle up or down to try and turn them. It handle clicks as if it is turned on but blinkers do not turn on. Almost got hit by another car when this accrued because the blinkers didn't come on and the car didn't see that i was stopping. Very scary and dangerous since i have two small children.
The ignition switch needed to be replaced because the car was not able to identify the electronic key anymore to the tune of $1,300.00+ on a four year old car, at this price point is ridiculous! additionally, a new key was needed.
As described above. Instead of blowing a fuse , fuse housing melted from fire and heat requiring replacement of the entire housing with all fuses and relays. I brought it up to mercedes benz attention and their response was as the part got replaced at this point it is only an "alleged" problem. They do not want to accept their own service mechanic 's description of what happened. I am afraid this car has all the potential of bigger fire hazard and potential for accidents and deaths. I am bringing this to your attention only because you may have prior reports on this make and model and i am doing my civic responsibility it was unfortunate 14 people have to die with gm ignition switch problem.
Without warning while in motion, on a country road,an alarm went off stating "return to workshop"turn signals stopped working, dashboard when blank (no speedometer working), srs alarm and could not put the vehicle in park or neutral.
Two issues with my ml350 2010 car - 1) electrical - gas gauge went to zero while driving even when car was three quarters full of gas. After i stopped car and restarted engine, gas gauge went immediately back up to three quarters full. 2) failed brakes - i was driving into a parking spot slowly using brakes and when i was about to come to a full stop, the brakes failed and wouldn't stop the car completely resulting in me driving over a parking meter. It felt like the car accelerated as well after hitting parking meter but i was able to stop car after pressing on the brakes again. Thankfully no one was hurt given slow speed and no one being on sidewalk at the time.
When attempting to start the vehicle the car does not start and the dashboard lights do not illuminate. It usually takes multiple tries before it usually does start. Has been going on for months.

Purchased car used in february 2015, had to replace right brake light bulb three times within three months.dealership had to replace the wire harness on both taillights as the contacts on the brake light sockets (both sides) were defective.the c230 model had been recalled for this very problem, however, the ml350 was not included in the recall.i would advise the nhtsa to see if other models of the mercedes have been having this problem to avoid rear end accidents when brakes fail.the car is only five years old, and has not been in an area that should cause erosion of failure of both wiring harnesses.
Brake lights & rear tail gate malfunction after running car through car wash.the problems self-correct after a couple of days.suspect that water is somehow getting in via faulty seals.there are multiple complaints about similar issues and mbenz has even issued recalls for other models.in one recall, the problem is noted to potentially cause a fire.although dealer is aware of this problem, the boerne, tx service rep has no interest in investigating the matter further unless, knowing others have similar issues, unless i pay for the service.hope we don't earn a ticket or cause an accident.
The led tail lights are failing. My assessment on this issue is that water and debris are entering the tail light due to a gasket or seal that is failing. Dealer and mercedes does not want to help, and have told me they will no longer respond to my emails. Im getting the run around. Its clearly a safety defect/hazard, based on transport canada. This happens with no warning, until enough led's are out the message turned on.
The right brake light sensor gave a warning that the brake lamp needs replacing.while making arrangements to replace, the left brake light began to malfunction and also needed replacement.since both led brake lights failed within 3 months it seems to be a systemic problem with mercedes benz led lights. I reported the problem to mercedes benz usa and was told the vehicle is out of warranty but they would call the local dealer on my behalf and speak with the manager to see if there was anything that could be done. We replaced both rear light assemblies at a cost of $832.44 at the dealership in danbury.mb of danbury reduced the labor charge by a small percentage.i have zero confidence that this will not happen again during the life of the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2010 mercedes-benz ml350. The contact stated that the tail lights failed to operate intermittently. The bulbs were replaced, but the failure recurred.

Massive diesel leak from the top of the fuel tank when filling up. Then cel came on and car lost power. Going uphill in a cruise control, started with 60, by the end of the fairly easy hil, it was barely doing 20. When filling up, diesel leaked all over the place from passenger side fuel tank. Major safety issue, can cause fire or stranded on highway. Should be investigated and may be fixed as recall. 400 miles from home on a holiday, with family. Barely made home, with my wife looking back if there there is fire break out. White knuckle drive. Fuel should never leak like this.
Rear passenger seat belts won't retract. This leaves the belts loose and ineffective while driving.
Passenger side rear seat belt retractor failed and seat belt is in fully extended position and won't retract, making it unusable for protection of a passenger in that seat. The vehicle has never been in an accident or suffered any impact, etc., and when a passenger had used the belt and went to take it off it wouldn't retract. There had been no prior indication of a problem. I am the original owner and my vehicle has only 24,280 miles on it and the seatbelt in question has only been used 10 or 15 times in the 8 year life of the vehicle as my wife and i are the only users, our children all grown and long gone.the mercedes dealer we purchased the vehicle from says the retractor cannot be repaired and needs to be replaced at a cost in excess of $800. I can't afford that, so it won't be repaired.
Back seat l&r passenger seat belts will not retract.they stay extended creating a safety issue for back seat passengers.
Rear passenger side seat belt is fully extended and will not retract. The seatbelt is not operable, and is a severe safety concern.
Just bought this car from a family member who takes great care of their cars. The rear drivers side passenger seatbelt does not work. I gently pulled out and it doesn't retract no matter what i tried. Now i can't use with my 3 kids.these rear seat belts were only lightly used from previous owner as this was her commuter car.seems to me this has been a common complaint online yet no recall. Please investigate right away.
Rear seatbelt stopped retracting,passenger side.also had abs and esp warning indicators come on,was told all sensors should be changed but due to an extended warranty bought through a used car dealer only one sensor was changed.this has happened two times in three years
The rear seat belts on this vehicle get stuck all the way out and will not retract.the car is out of warranty as of this month and the dealer is quoting around $800 to fix this known issue.having a broken retractor is not safe as we cannot put two people in the back seat of our car.a terrible design to have a seat belt break when very few passengers ride in the back seat except for my child.please help and put a recall on this issue.
The contact owns a 2010 mercedes-benz ml350. The contact stated that the rear driver and passenger side seat belts failed to retract properly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the seat belts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 64,000.
Rear seatbelt fails to retract, stays out in the fully extended position. This prevents the seatbelt from retainingany passenger using the seatbelt. Have researched many complaints on this same issue. It appears the retract components do not operate properly. This is a safety issue in that you cannot tell when the seatbelt will malfunction.
Rear seatbelts fail to retract.i'm waiting on a call from the dealer's service department as to the cost to replace the rear seat belts.i have never experienced this problem in any other car brand.very disappointed and concerned about cost to replace as car is out of warranty.however, since my two young kids ride in the back all the time i need functioning seat belts.have seen some other similar complaints at various online forums.perhaps an investigation is warranted due to the seriousness of this issue.

Two issues with my ml350 2010 car - 1) electrical - gas gauge went to zero while driving even when car was three quarters full of gas. After i stopped car and restarted engine, gas gauge went immediately back up to three quarters full. 2) failed brakes - i was driving into a parking spot slowly using brakes and when i was about to come to a full stop, the brakes failed and wouldn't stop the car completely resulting in me driving over a parking meter. It felt like the car accelerated as well after hitting parking meter but i was able to stop car after pressing on the brakes again. Thankfully no one was hurt given slow speed and no one being on sidewalk at the time.
Without warning while in motion, on a country road,an alarm went off stating "return to workshop"turn signals stopped working, dashboard when blank (no speedometer working), srs alarm and could not put the vehicle in park or neutral.
Vehicle has a very unstable ride that continues to worsen.the problem arose about 4 years ago and continues to worsen -- more so over the last year.i've owned the vehicle for almost 10 years and take meticulous care of it.i've kept up with all maintenance and always purchase the best quality replacement tires.now the vehicle is so unstable with any minimal road bumps or even slightly uneven surfaces at speeds greater than 35 mph.suv loses it's "grip" with the road, especially concerning if making a turn at the same time.there have been times when making a slight curve at highway speeds, that we hit a tiny uneven road patch, where the vehicle slides to the opposite direction where we're trying to turn.have take vehicle a couple of times to the dealer.each time they come up empty -- the last time they replaced the bushings at a heft cost, yet the problem persists.this is a dangerous problem and will only be a matter of time before an accident occurs.dealer is not offering much help.today's service rep indicated he felt the steering did not "feel right."
Abs and esp warning indicators came on.was told my warranty had just expired days earlier and that only one sensor was bad but they have seen this quite often and recommending changing all 4 sensors.i said it sounded like a product defect and complained to service manager.he said he would warranty the one bad part and not to worry about the others.that's fine but what about the commonality of this part going bad followed by others failing shortly afterwards?
