Incident on 10/13/2020 On Tuesday October 13th. 2020 I was driving my 2010 Lexus ES 350 in Diamond Bar, CA 91765. I got hit on my side by a speedy car (ran red light) He was driving at speed of 55 mph. I got multiple fractures (No air bags were deployed) and later on hospital admission due to life serious complications. Now I’m dealing with continuous pain, inability to back to normal life style and a must have joint replacement due to joint damage (bone and cartilage). I have police report/total loss report have details about car damage and countless medical care and hospital admission for the implication of the accident. I'm uploading some photos for my white Lexus to the extent lt. axle broke and even for the other car in the crash seen (dark gray Audi) to show his speed.
Takata recall - took vehicle in for takata recall with no issues with vehicle. Picked it up after "repair" only to find airbag light on. Made appointment to bring vehicle back in and now being told that there is a passenger occupancy sensor that has gone bad. They claim this issue does not have anything to do with the recall!! After researching online, I find complaint after complaint concerning this very issue. This sensor should be included in a recall as there is obviously a defect with the sensor with so many complaints about it. And it is a high dollar fix.
My takata recall on my passenger air bag was recalled. I was scared to drive since my former 2004 lexus airbag was not functioning properly. So I did not drive it for 3 yrs knowing my husband could not ride in the front sure to being handicapped, from a stroke, he could not get into the back seats. I owned a 2004 lexus was totaled in 2010 and neither airbag deflated either .
Takata recall received a notification for owners of vehicles with takata airbag inflators
Takata recall my letter is dated. July 9th 2016 I would like to find our why this problem has not been corrected. I have not had a passenger for over a year.
Takata recall - lexus has not fixed our inflator. It has been a whole year since the recall. When?
Takata recall. My father was told about an inflator recall on his passenger side airbag last year (may 2016). He was told to continue driving the car but it was recommended that no one ride in the passenger seat. My father is 90 years old and still carries a valid driver's license. My mother is 84. Putting her in the backseat of the car for a few months would be inconvenient but doable. Putting her in the backseat for over a year is unacceptable (not to mention she refuses to be chauffeured around the city by my father). I work for american honda motor co. And it is our policy to get people out of their cars until such time as they can be fixed. I am concerned that lexus does not have this same policy. If that airbag deploys during a collision, I have no doubt it will kill my mother. I think it only appropriate that my parents be provided a rental at lexus' expense until the inflator can be replaced (hopefully sometime in 2017).
We received a notice by mail that the airbags in our vehicle was being recalled and additional information regarding repair would be forthcoming. The notice was received may 2016, almost a year ago and no further notice has been received. The only recommendation from lexus was to not have anybody sit in the front passenger seat which means not having full use of my own vehicle. This delay in taking action is unacceptable.
Takata recall, I don't understand why it has taken so long to address this issue. I was notified almost one year ago, I had to take a long trip with my family this past november 2016, and lexus did provide a rental, however, the recall has made my family have to plan not to use the front sit and limits the vehicle's useful purpose. What disturbs me more, there has not been any further information regarding a scheduled remedy. How do you plan your vehicle's use? A projected scheduled remedy is in order, older vehicles affected should have priority, if schedules are announced it would be difficult for dealers to pick and choose what vehicle owners get serviced and in what order.
