Takata recall. I"m extremely concerned about the air bag recall. As I am unable to utilize my vehicle to it's fullest extent without fear of injury or even death to myself and passengers.
Takata recall part is not available. Put on wait list. Until the remedy is performed, they recommend not to operate the vehicle with passenger front seat. It's very inconvenient as we are family of 4!!!!
"takata recall"
Takata recall I received a letter dated may 23, 2016 indicating that the front passenger airbag inflator on my 2008 lexus es 350 needs to be replaced. I live in zone a, the highest risk area. I have called three times over the past 10 months to my local lexus dealers, and their response has been "we have received only a few parts so far." "you will be notified when there are more parts in." my wife and I have just this one car, and having one of us sitting in the back seat each time we drive the car for the last 10 months has been very difficult. We are both seniors. Is there anything you can do to have one of the local dealers in san diego county replace the airbag very soon. Thanks for your help on this.
I received noticed of the federal safety agency recall 16v‑340 in may of 2016. Ten months later lexus still does not have the parts at dealers to get this fixed. This is unacceptable.
Still no remedy for the passenger side airbag. This is ridiculous that it would take almost a year and still nothing yet! They seem to have enough airbags for the new cars they are making. Lets fix the bad airbags first before anyone else gets killed! Come on the federal safety agency lets get on toyota and make them get this done.
There is still no remedy available for my car. I live in zone 1! My car is nine years old and still lexus has not made an airbag replacement for any of the es models! Why? Other car manufacturers have fixed their cars. Not acceptable. Nhsta needs to get on lexus/toyota to get this done. This is beyond ridiculous. This is my teenagers car. How many more deaths do we need in order to get this done? Until lexus is forced to comply in a reasonable time, they will not. We are getting close to a year now. Unacceptable!!!!
Takata recall still no information or remedy for my 2008 lexus that is in zone a, sc. Lexus is fixing 2012 is models ahead of much older models. It is against the nhtsb cro. Lexus is stonewalling their customers!!! No information is being told to their customers.
Takata recall - received recall notice july 2016. As of feb 27, 2017 no one at the dealership, or lexus corporate can give any guidance on timetable for replacement, or if any lexus models have been repaired. When will I hear timetable? Lexus is selling new models of the same car, why not replace defective part with new car part?
Takata recall,tamara inflators. On june 9, the notice came told not use the front passenger seat. It is now jan. 23, 2017 and the dealer continues to put off the replacement of the unsafe parts. This is unreasonable as we are unable to use the car I transporting grandchildren and even go out to dinner with friends. Why?
Takata recall was told by the dealer that fix will not be available until mid 2017. Unacceptable for a safety issue.
Takata recall "recall incomplete remedy not yet available" as a result of this recall our passenger seat is not available for safe transport of passengers.
Takata recall - I was contacted by the car dealership on may 23, 2016, that our car had defective air bags and would be notified when a remedy was available. After seven months of waiting to hear when the remedy would be available, I called the dealership on nov.01,2016, to inquire when the problem would be fixed. The answer was "we don't know, but we think parts will be available in late december 2016. I have read that some 90% of honda cars with the same airbag problem,have been repaired. Seven months of having to drive an unsafe lexus product seems totally excessive and irresponsible. More accurate fix dates and alternatives should be provided to the vehicle owner by the dealership.
Takata recall. We recieved notice of recall july 2016. It's now 6 months later, without any additional notice. This is an older model car and we live in hot florida. We know this is a high risk car for this defect. We are afraid to use it for threat of death to the passenger. Please contact us immediately with information as to getting this problem rectified. Thank you much.
Takata recall: received the recall notice in may 2016. Told not to use passenger seat and it is now november 22, 2016 with no "remedy" available yet. I blame takata but am very frustrated that this very serious recall has not been corrected yet. I don't let anyone sit in the passenger seat and we are in texas and supposedly going to be in the first group receiving the fix.
Takata recall, it has five months since I received the recall regarding the defective airbag. I have not seen nor read about any progress update on getting this resolved.
Takata airbag recall without a remedy makes the car very difficult to use because of the warning not to have passengers in the front seat.
Takata airbag - this vehicle was purchased in florida in 2007 and has been driven in a hot humid climate ever since. We were notified in june of the recall and since then, lexus have been unable to provide the part or fix the problem. It needs to be addressed now.
I received a notice for the recall. Months ago( 3+), they ask me to wait but nothing, I called twice but they said they don't have the parts and they don't know when are they going to received. How long I have to wait?
Lexus will not replace the recalled takata air bags ans refuses to send the equipment to the dealership putting my family at risk for injury or death
Dissatisfied with the amount of time that has been given to toyota/takata. This has been going on for months and we still have not been told when the airbags will be replaced. Telling is not to have anyone ride in the passenger seat of the car is not an option all the time.
Takata recall. I have tried calling the general manager of mcgrath lexus in westmont illinois twice. His name is [xxx] regarding this recall. He refuses to call me back or answer any calls. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Wife driving 45mps in 45 mps zone crashed into turning driver on frisco, tx road
Head on crash at 35-40 MPH. On frisco, tx city street. Frontal airbags did not deploy. No airbags deployed
I was informed by state farm insurance that my 2008 lexus es350 does not qualify for an airbag discount because they have determined that the airbags are unsafe on this model. I have checked the federal safety agency recall database and there are no recalls on this model. What does state farm know that you do not. I do not want to drive an unsafe automobile. Please respond.
My driver side door was hit by someone going approximately 40 MPH as I turned a corner going 5 MPH. The impact threw me approximately 100 feet into a block wall and not one single airbag deployed. My head broke the driver door window....updated 07/30/15
