Tl* the contact owns a 2007 mercedes-benz c230 (na). While driving 25 MPH, the contact crashed into another vehicle. The passenger side air bag failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The passenger sustained bruises to the forehead and shoulder, which required medical attention. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 102,000.
Takata recall mercedes sent me a letter saying my local dealer had parts to fix the airbag. My local mercedes dealer said mercedes did not send them any parts for me. My car is not fixed and nobody is doing anything about it. The car spent most of its life in ga one of the zones that should have been fixed first. I cannot cut through the dishonesty without help.
