MBUSA Sticks their head in the sand again

[aakjaa]

I've read dang near all of the post in the 27 some pages related to the HB problem.
I have a 99 w/the bad part number. Spoke w/the local dealer, they deny knowledge....they referred me to MBUSA. Just disconnected w/one of their phone monkeys who quite frankly did an admirable job of deflecting every point I made: Japan recalling all of their units; the NTHSA's investigation etc.
Bottom line, NO JOY.
Won't do me any good to take them to small claims court, the failure has yet to occur.
Perhaps those who assert it is the corporations, no government, who are running our lives.
OK...do I feel better? No not really. I still have a car we'd saved for years to purchase for it's realibility and safety profile only to end up w/a headache.
thanks for listening
