Toyota/lexus refusing to fix this recall on my lexus vehicle.
"takata recall" visited the local dealership in metairie, la to have recall taken care of. They said they would contact me when they were ready to fix problem. My wife and I are senior citizens and are afraid to sit as a passenger of our own car. Why is this taking so long. Over a year since we received notice. Can we demand the use of a similar loaner car? Please have this complaint checked. Thanks
My airbag recall came to me today 7/18/2017 - I found out about this recall from facebook back in sept. 2016 - I called lexus was informed to drive the car over - I signed a paper stating I was not allowed to drive my car and it must sit in my garage for as long as there is no part to replace it with - they gave me a loaner car but after 10 months later and my car dead - the part came in - it was like pulling teeth to get them to even look at the car and did not want to even put in a new battery - after complaining and working with the home office they did a complete once over and a new battery - my car is working now - but - lexus should have done something for their customers - lawyers all over the place want to help you get your money back - lexus didn't even want to hear about any issues you had - complaints etc..... You would think they would want to assist you with more items to replace on your car - 10 months of waiting?????? Crazy !!!!!!
Takata recall. Recall notice came some months ago. Was told by dealer on 5/28/17 that it would take until september -- after the summer when I need the car most -- before it can be fixed. Totally unacceptable.
Takata inflators : please I'm worried about the air bag exploding its been ten years since I bought the car , the recall should have been already resolved ,since its (zone a 6-9 years) please make it a priority to replace the air bag in my car [xxx].

Takata recall. Recall notice sent out in mail. No plan for corrective action.
There has been a recall on the front passenger air bag, produced by takata, and the my lexus dealer in schaumburg, illlinois, has not contacted metro fix the problem. It has been too long. I had filed a complaint over the phone with you in february ( #10957566). Can you please let me know what is going on and how much time longer I am supposed to wait...this is ridiculous !
Recall
Takata recall: I like to know when my vehicle is going to be called to replace the air bag that has been worrying our family since its almost ten years we bought the car, the bag should have been replaced 2 years back thanks [xxx] *dl information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
"takata recall lexus states that not to have anyone set on the passenger side front until recall is complete. How are you suppose to use the vehicle like that
"takata recall" ...dealer is not able to provide date of replacement...only that the car will be recalled based upon state registration data bank. Not a valid response in our mind.
Takata recall: what is the legal requirements of the auto manufacture in respect to completing this recall? What is I am entitled today? Can I sell the car? Can dealerships sell cars with a known (unsolved) safety recall?
Takata recall as of today, 1/8/17, the recall status from lexus is still "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available" according to the federal safety agency-takata airbag inflator expansion phases/zones, I am in zone a. Given the date of my car, I would say any degradation expected has occurred and leaves me in danger daily. In the meantime, I am riding almost daily in the passenger seat where the airbag could could cause me serious damage or death. How long does the federal safety agency allow manufacturers to go without remedies? What recourse do I have, other than me riding in the back seat when my husband drives? Surely they are not still manufacturing cars with the same defaults, so why can't they replace mine with one that they currently use in their vehicles?

Takata recall. We received a recall in may 2016, and nothing has been done. It's been 7 months. I understand that because of the age of our car and the fact that we live in a very hot state, the chances of our air bags exploding are very high. Because of this, I think 7 months is too long to wait for a fix.
Takata recall
Takata recall inflator has not been fixed received letter in may 23 2016.
Takata recall: we received notice of safety recall letter dated june 9, 2016, from lexus stating there is defect relating to our 2007 es350 involving front passenger airbag inflators produced by takata. After months of no action by lexus, we followed up with lexus on september 27, 2016, and they stated parts were not available. We are in great need of our vehicle and are concerned with our safety in that we are located in zone a which puts us at great risk.
Takata recall. This recall came out in may 2016. Lexus suggest not letting anyone ride in the front passenger seat. This doesn't seem reasonable to take this long, I can't use my car with anyone in the front seat.
Takata recall - how is it that this is this serious with so many people dying and we do not even have an estimate on when their could be a remedy. This is unacceptable. My 26 year old son drives this car and I worry every day either come up with a solution and an eta or buy the car back or give me a rental until there is a solution.
Takata recall lexus filed dir (defect information report) on may 23, 2016, notification received in mail july 2016, still no remedy available. Lexus has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time.
Takata recall: the takata airbag problem should be removed immediately. I did not buy a 1 seated front seat car and this is what I'm forced to drive now. When is my airbag going to be replaced?
10885689- sterling mccall lexus representatives say that it is a "courtesy " and "not mandated by the federal safety agency" to provide a replacement vehicle. I was also informed that "I must have full insurance coverage to lease a car". (I have a 5 passenger 2007 lexus es, which is paid in full) it is not required that I have full insurance coverage with the state of tx. This will cost more money. Lexus is concerned with their own economics and not with consumer safety by presenting hardships, making it difficult and taking advantage of customers in providing replacement vehicles for owners who need their vehicles to provide a decent living, who are on a budget, financially challenge.
