Consumer Description

CRACK ALONG PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG ON THE DASH BOARD, IS AIR BAG GOING TO EXPLODED? DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE $2500. I HAVE DISCUSSED WITH OTHER CLK OWNERS AND FOUND OUT IT'S ACTUALLY A QUITE COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MERCEDES CLK, SHOULD NHTSA ASK MERCEDES FOR RECALL? IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS AND CAUSES INJURY/ACCIDENTS WHILE DRIVING, COULD BE DEVASTATING. DT
