NHTSA Complaint #10884625 — 2008 MERCEDES-BENZ E350

I HAVE AN AIRBAG CODE SHOWING PASSENGER SIDE SENSOR OR WIRING HARNESS FAILURE. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, MERCEDES STATES REPAIR COST IS MY PROBLEM. CHECKING MERCEDES FORUMS REVEALS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR AND EXACT PROBLEMS. SRS IS A VITAL SYSTEM, AND CANNOT FAIL. DESIGN AND SUPPORT FROM THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REFLECT THEIR COMMITMENT TO SAFETY, NOT JUST PASS THE BUCK. ONE OR A DOZEN INSTANCES MAY BE QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE, BUT HUNDREDS OR EVEN THOUSANDS IS A FLAW THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. FROM MBWORLD.COM HTTPS://WWW.GOOGLE.COM/SEARCH?Q=SRS+MERCEDES+LIGHT&IE=UTF-8&OE=UTF-8#Q=SRS+MERCEDES+LIGHT+SITE:MBWORLD.ORG FROM BENZWORLD.ORG HTTPS://WWW.GOOGLE.COM/SEARCH?Q=SRS+MERCEDES+LIGHT&IE=UTF-8&OE=UTF-8#Q=SRS+MERCEDES+LIGHT+SITE:WWW.BENZWORLD.ORG HUNDREDS OF MERCEDES BENZ OWNERS HAVE A SENSOR OR WIRING PROBLEM THAT COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH. I BELIEVE SUCH A WIDESPREAD ISSUE SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT THE COST OF THE MANUFACTURER, NOT THE OWNERS OR VICTIMS.
