My car is a 2006 mercedes benz slk280. The srs light indicator turned on and stayed on.. The garage said the cost of repair of the srs system would be over $400.00.i do not know if the restraint system / airbag will work if there is an accident, it may be a very hazardous condition if the mercedes impact protection system is not working.many other slk280 owners have also complained about this problem.
I own a 2006 mercedes slk280 and my srs light came on about a month ago. Since my original warranty expired in june, i had purchased a new one for close to $2,500 for a new 4yr/40,000 miles. I looked up on google to see if this is a common problem and found a number of similar problems. I am sure there are a lot more as i did not even post one. Seeing that the srs is the air bag deployment and a safety issue, i figured this would be covered under the warranty. I was surprised that for such a huge safety issue, mercedes did not replace the defective part. The total came to $446.37. I am more concerned about the safety issue and i wonder how many of these go unreported.
