 2006 mercedes benz c230 68k miles. error message states srs restraint system malfunction. drive to workshop. i am told that my entire supplemental restraint system has been deactivated until this is resolved. repair costs around $700 to fix and i do not have an extra $700 laying around right now. from reading online, this is an extremely common/widespsread problem with mercedes and should lead to a recall as people's lives are at stake when driving a vehicle without working airbags or pre-tensioners.
