I WAS PROVIDED A NOTICE OF AN AIRBAG RECALL OVER TWO YEARS AGO ON A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE DEALERS SAYS THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR PARTS. I HAVE CALLED MERCEDES NATIONAL AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO. IT APPEARS NOTHING IS HAPPENING AND NO ONE HAS A SOLUTION YET I DRIVE A VEHICLE EVERYDAY ALL DAY THAT COULD EXPLODE ON ME AND SEND METAL FRAGMENTS INTO MY FACE AND NECK. THIS IS STRESSFULL AND I HAVE SEND A LETTER TO MY FAMILY MEMBERS TO DOCUMENT THIS AND SUE ALL INVOLVED IF I END UP PASSING AWAY OVER THIS WHILE WAITING IN LIMBO. THE PRESS AND GOVERNMENT NEED TO GET INVOLVED AS THIS IS A NATIONAL ISSUE THAT IS BEING IGNORED AND MANY LIVES ARE AT STAKE.

EVENT DATA RECORDER MISSING FROM SPRINTERS. I WAS INVOLVED IN A HIGH SPEED CRASH. I WON'T GO INTO DETAILS AT THIS TIME PENDING THE INVESTIGATIONS. BUT I LEARNED THAT THERE IS NO "EDR" EVENT DATA RECORDERS ON THE SPRINTERS. WHEN I LEARNED OF THESE AND WHAT THEY DO IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH I WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT MERCEDES ELECTED TO NOT INSTALL ONE ON THESE VEHICLES. FOR ME PERSONALLY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VALUABLE INFORMATION TO KNOW WHAT WHEN ON IN THE SECONDS PRIOR TO THE CRASH. NOT SURE THIS WILL COME TO ANYTHING BUT I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT ALL VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE THESE ITEMS. THEY ASSIST HELPING BOTH THE PERSON INVOLVED IN THE CRASH BY LETTING THEM KNOW WHAT IF ANYTHING THEY DID TO AVOID THE CRASH AS WELL AS HELPING THE POLICE ESTABLISH WHAT HAPPENED IN THE CRASH.
