Takata recall. I bought the car new, received recall notices from mbusa in may and august 2016, stating that my driver's and front-passenger airbags have a defect related to safety. I have made four specific visits to the dealership in santa monica, simonson's mercedes-benz, asking that my airbags be replaced. Each time I've been told that there are no replacement airbags available.
