2008 MERCEDES BENZ C300 Air Bags Problems

The airbag headrests opened up randomly without being involved in an accident!

The contact owned a 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 16V081000 (Air Bags) and 16V363000 (Air Bags) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted.

The contact owns a 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300. The contact stated after the vehicle was taken to the dealer for an unknown recall repair, the air bag warning light remained illuminated. The contact also became aware that the driver’s side headlight was inoperable. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a detached headlamp wiring harness. The dealer recommended that driver’s and passenger’s side headlamps be replaced. Additionally, the taillights remained illuminated after turning off the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Car has been in and out of the shop. Initially I have been contacting Mercedes about airbag messages and continued message of SRS Malfunction on dashboard. Airbags had been recalled and supposedly replaced on multiple occasions. This SRS continues to remain even after repair or being seen for this issue only for other components to have failed and me having to pay for those in the process. The SRS Malfunction remains an issue until the next issue is affected. Recently an entire Electronic SAM Module Component was replaced as the culprit only to have more issues and the SRS remained. Mercedes has contended that each time they saw the vehicle the the SRS Malfunction was not the problems while other documents were repaired such as battery and SAM. In the meantime since then the car has stalled, components that were working are no longer inoperable. There was a recall that...

My car had the Takata airbags that were recalled. It says the recalls were repaired but my vehicle is saying that the driver-side airbag has malfunctioned. I haven't been in any accidents. So I contacted Mercedes and they could not find verification that the previous open recalls were ever fixed.

After repair done on the confirmed recall airbag computer/module my vehicle became immobile, malfuctioned. The vehicle warning lamps alerted the airbag malfunctioned, srs malfunction. I seeked service for repair of this recall by experts. This safety issue is still ongoing and urgency is needed for this to be resolved.

When I was driving, the passenger active headrest suddenly deployed and pop out. I’m glad on one was on the passenger seat, and the airbags did not deployed. I’m concerned about the safety of airbags accidentally deploy in the future with the broken headrest.

PLEASE DISASSOCIATE THIS VEHICLE WITH ME. I HAVE BEEN GETTING RECALL NOTICES FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS! IT WAS TOTALED IN AN ACCIDENT IN 2015 AND THE INSURANCE CLAIM WAS PAID AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOOK OWNERSHIP/SENT TO ACTION- DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS

NOTICED A RECALL FOR THIS PART

BANK IN 2017 THE SRS AIRBAG SAFETY LIGHT COMES ON AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS A RECALL. I WAITED UNTIL LATE 2018 WHEN THE AIR BAGS CAME INTO THE MERCEDES DEALER IN ANNAPOLIS TO REPLACE FOR RECALL. AFTER THAT THE SRS AIRBAG SAFETY LIGHT STILL COMES ON. WE TAKE IT BACK TO MERCEDES FOR THEM TO CHECK AND CLEAR. THEY SAY IT WAS DONE. SAME LIGHT COMES BACK ON. WE TAKE IT BACK TO MERCEDES TODAY 2/25/2020 AND THEY SAY ITS A SAFETY FAULTY SEAT BELT SWITCH. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $1100 TO REPAIR. I TOLD THEM THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED EVERYTHING PROPERLY AND I STILL BELIEVE THAT THEY JUST NEVER RESET OR CLEARED THE SRS AIRBAG ALERT LIGHT SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY SOME BOGUS MADE UP REPAIR. I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY AND THAT THIS DEALER IS BEING DISHONEST. THE SRS AIRBAG...

WE HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE THE START OF THE NHTSA RECALL OF MERCEDES-BENZ C300S FOR FAULTY AIRBAGS FOR THE APPROPRIATE REPLACEMENT.
