I was notified in february of 2019 of an air bag recall for my glk 350. Almost a year later, mercedes dealer still cannot tell me when this will be fixed. I am driving around with a ticking time-bomb for an air bag and mercedes doesn't seem to care. This is unacceptable. Someone should be holding them accountable.
