Decoding from NHTSA…
Vehicle history — accidents, title & owners
The decode above is what this vehicle is. For what it's been through — accidents, title brands, odometer, theft/total-loss and previous owners — pull a full history report.
NHTSA publishes the first 11 characters of the VIN with every complaint — that identifies the plant, model year, body and engine. So these are reports from cars built exactly like this one, not an average across the whole model.

Takata recall. Vehicle recall remedy taking excessive amount of time. No remedy available, no accountability available, no non-bankrupt parts supplier available, and no action by NHTSA available. Time to hold daimler benz responsible for this nonsense
