I was driving and my car has a certain jerking motion to it, as I tried to break and accelerate the car wasn’t able to stop or move properly. As a result I rear ended the car in front of me. In addition to that my airbag wouldn’t go off after the accident so it seems like there was a malfunction. Lexus always assured me that all system ran well and that there was nothing wrong with the car. I made all necessary repairs they told me to make a despite my questions about the car being fully functional, they still didn’t warn me and told me that my car was fine every time I took it in or got work done on my car.

What 2007 Lexus ES owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Toyoto confirmed knowledge of problem with inferior dashboard of Lexus es350 2007. A recall which they are telling me now, they will no longer honor had been in effect: "January 21, 2015 — After years of complaints and recent lawsuits, Toyota has agreed to replace about 3.5 million dashboards that get sticky, cracked, shiny and melt in heat and humidity. Calling it a "Customer Support Program" - ZE6 - Toyota will extend dashboard warranty coverage on the following Toyota and Lexus vehicles." The PHOTO of my dashboard below, shows the cracks and chipping that has occurred over the years. If the air bag deploys fragments will be disbursed throughout my vehicle. I have two grandchildren that I drive to school each day and this is a very bad situation about to happen. I contacted the customer service numerous times and simply flat out said that they will not own responsibility.
My airbag is still good but the lexus and automobile bereau contact me for repair so how am I stopping them to annoy me.

Takata inflators recall
Takata recall
My car is included in the takata airbag recall. It has been more than a year since we were notified of this problem. To date it has not been fixed and there is no clear date when they will be able to fix it. I've been instructed by lexus that the remedy for now is that nobody can sit in the front passenger side seat. That is totally unacceptable. I feel as though they are dragging their feet in the hopes that as time goes by, more of the older cars will be taken off the road so they won't need to be repaired. We need action on this, it is a major safety and convenience issue.
Takata recall in january 2017 I was advised by my dealer, stevinson lexus, that my lexus was subject to a recall to replace defective airbags. Despite repeated follow up on my part, the replacement still has not been scheduled and the dealer says that toyota has not provided the needed parts. I am very concerned about the potential danger.
