The contact owned a 2008 Lexus ES350. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 - 40 MPH, the air bags suddenly deployed independently. The contact stated that his view was obstructed due to the air bag deployment, and he briefly lost control the vehicle and the vehicle came to a complete stop after crashing into a light pole. The remaining air bags did deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and was deemed a total loss by the Insurance provider. A Police report was filed, and injuries were reported. The contact was transported by air to an area shock trauma center and treated for a broken neck, a broken right shoulder, loss of four teeth, a laceration requiring 40 stitches, and later required reconstructive surgery on both his right leg and right foot. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Takara recall airbags dashboard

Filed Apr 20, 2018 · Airbags · WA

Takata recall: I was notified nearly a year ago of the safety recall required on my lexus. I have called 4-5 times over the past 12 months but have yet to be contacted by my dealership regarding replacing the airbag. What is the recourse for having this work done? Is the dealer my only recourse? I have little doubt that they are responding to those customers who purchased their vehicles from the dealership (a friend of mine had the recall work done several months ago). This is an extreme inconvenience as I am unable to use the passenger seat of my vehicle, for nearly a year. What can I do?

In an accident in 2012, a car impacted this lexus from right side and the lexus shifted over the curb and hit the road side light post. The front driver side airbag exploded but instead of protecting people from injury, it damaged my wife's right knee badly. The knee bone was fractured and she had three surgeries in hospital. She had been on bed for half year before recovery. Now she still can't walk normally and feel pain from her knee.

Takata recall: I contacted the dealer I purchased the car from 2 times in the past 4 months, most recently on october 25, 2017 and was told that they have still have not received the parts. I believe this may be the case because takata and its affiliates are now in chapter 11. No one there can tell me anything about the timeframe for the parts being delivered to the service department at the lexus of rockville centre in rockville centre, ny. The recall notice was issued in january 2017. Hundreds if not thousands of consumers like myself are driving with air bags that can explode and potential kill the car's occupants.

Takata recall. I received a safety recall notice from lexus many months ago; january, I believe, but have not yet received a follow-up notice for repair. When I contacted my local dealer today, I was told that repair is still not available and I have to continue waiting. My complaint is that this process is taking so long. Lexus recommends that I do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. I think to do so for ten months is totally unrealistic.
