• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation as of 20210917

  From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

When driving my '06 c350 with 48 thousand miles, yes 48k on it, the transmission seems to go into a safe mode. It normally occurs when driving at highway speeds and have to slow down gradually, then upon acceleration the transmission just revs up the rpm with no power. I'm afraid me and my two children will be rear-ended due to the loss of power in the transmission. I then try to drive it to the next exit, shut off the engine and restart. This normally resets everything to normal. But it could occur again minutes or hours later which is now getting frustrating given the car is barely reaching 50k miles. So this happens intermittently, unexpectedly, and with varying frequency. Mercedes benz usa should have a recall on this as when i call the dealership they know exactly what happened and it's a very well-know defect that costs a considerable amount to repair. This car started doing it at 40k and does it often. I've notified my lawyer because i'm afraid it could happen with a vehicle behind me and thus cause an unexpected rear end impact from another driver on the highway.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 mercedes-benz e350. While driving 45 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to engage as it traveled to the floorboard. The contact was able to safely coast the vehicle to a gas station. The contact stated that the check engine warning indicator illuminated weeks prior to the failure. The vehicle was towed to mercedes-benz of san diego (4750 kearny mesa rd, san diego, ca) where it was diagnosed that the sbc module malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 243,000. The vin was not provided. *tt contact states that vehicle was taken to riverside mercedes-benz to check why the check engine light was illuminated and was never told there was a brake malfunction. Two weeks later brakes malfunctioned. *tt

Eis and esl go bad, car will not start due to steering wheel locking.

Balance shaft engine issues, stretched timing chain, balance shaft sprockets. There was a class action lawsuit about this that no one made us aware of and the repairs had to be completed by may 13, 2015 to be part of the class action. Now, because we drove it so few miles in the past, the issues have just appeared. We have just 76,000 miles on it and were told that they would have to take the engine apart to replace the camshaft bearings because they have worn due to the other issues. Along with that we needed a new head and gasket and camshaft solenoids. This is estimated to cost us $10,000.00. We of course aren't going to do the repairs now. There should have been a recall on this so people like us that don't drive a lot of miles don't get ripped off. This is a mercedes that should have easily run for over 200,000 miles. Now it's junk.

Takata recall no one can tell me when the airbags will be replaced. I am one of the highest risk car owner. My car was manufactured in 2006 and i live in an area that is in one of the highest risk zones..

Takata recall i am writing to find out when this defective airbag in my car will replaced. I do not feel safe in the car with this defective airbag present in the vehicle and i am demanding that it be replaced immediately. I feel sufficient time has elapsed for the manufacturers to fix this problem and make my car safe again.

Front right spring broke. This is the 2nd spring that has broken in less than a year. This time the broken spring was rubbing against moving parts and smoking at only 5 mph. If this happened at higher speeds, or on a curve, i suspect it could be dangerous. There are numerous reports of mercedes springs breaking on vehicles with less than 50,000 miles. That would certainly indicate to me that either the design or springs are defective. *tr

The fiting are not made well ,and oil is distribute on every part of the front engine and transmission area causing smoke and can cause fire. If it come apart. *tr

Upon filling gas tank noticed fuel smell in garage. This happened many times. Decided not to fill completely, and smell went away. I now only put 10 gallons in the tank and do not fill up. I'm sending this because i saw an article in the la times indicating this may be problem with "e" class vehicles. *tr

Both sending units in the fuel tank were leaking and were replaced by rbm mercedes of 7640 roswell road, atlanta, ga 30350 for the amount of $ 828.05. I have original repair bill and it can be submitted at your request. *tr

Around december 2010 i began noticing there has been a gas smell from rear wheel housing and rear seat whenever i fill up the gas tank. I have experienced with various fuel level and concluded that gas smell starts when gas is more than 3/4 full. I have been trying not to fill gas more than 3/4 and have recently changed a delivery unit and all the seals, which have been problematic areas for many mercedes. The gas smell did not go away and i don't feel safe due to the risk of fire in addition to the unpleasant gas smell in the cabin. *tr
