THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAG WAS ANNOUNCED OVER A YEAR AGO, AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. SINCE THE ISSUE COULD LEAD TO FATAL INJURY, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS IS BEING HANDLED IN A TIMELY MANNER, ESPECIALLY SINCE A REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE.

Air bags, Apr 2, 2020
I HAVE AN OPEN RECALL FOR MY AIRBAGS SINCE JANUARY OF 2019. I AM SHIPPING MY VEHICLE THROUGH THE MILITARY IN 2 MONTHS BUT AM FILLING THE PAPERWORK OUT NOW AND ONE OF THE CRITERIA IS THAT THE CAR CANNOT HAVE ANY OPEN RECALLS. WHEN I DID RESEARCH ON THE RECALL IT IS STILL OPEN AND UNABLE TO BE FIXED DUE TO "REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE YET."

THERE IS A GLASS ROOF PANEL BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE SUNROOF. THIS GLASS PANEL IS EXTREMELY BRITTLE AND SHATTERS EASILY. THIS IS MY SECOND TIME HAVING TO REPLACE THIS GLASS PANEL. IT IS A DEALER ONLY PART AND COSTS $960 PLUS $300 FOR INSTALLATION. THE COST OF THIS GLASS PANEL IS EXTREMELY HIGH. BOTH TIMES THIS GLASS PANEL SHATTERED, NOTHING HIT IT. IT APPEARS AS SMALL CRACKS AT FIRST AND THEN SPREADS. BECAUSE IT IS SO BRITTLE, IT EVENTUALLY SHATTERS. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS SPECIFIC PART WITH OTHER MERCEDES MODELS BUT NOT THE C250 FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. PLEASE ASSIST.
