Called lexus stevens creek (408‑330‑3000)for service. Always took them few weeks to make an appt. One appt was made in may but we were late so didnt make it. I made another appt in the middle of may and got scheduled an appt 0n 6/3/17. Now they told us the appt will be cancelled due to no part available. I asked what will be the time frame, they said at least few more weeks n they will call us, means it will take another few more weeks for them to make an appt for us. I also asked them if other lexus dealers have the available part, they said I had to check it on my own...it seems they don't really care for our safety even though in the recall letter, it said its not safe for us to operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. What should we do? Please advise. Thank you.

Letter from constituent re regarding the replacement of the takata from passenger airbag inflator in her lexus es350. *ld the consumer requested that the dealer be authorized to remove the airbag from the front passenger seat side of the vehicle or, direct lexus to replace the airbag from a new lexus vehicle *js.
Takata recall. It has been about 6 months since we were notified about the air bag recall. We keep calling our local dealer to get an estimated date that the air bags will be replaced and all we get is ' we will call you when get them to schedule the repairs'. Why is it taking so long?!?!?!?!?! I didn't purchase the car from that dealer so I wondering if they are putting my safety behind the safety of the lexus owners who purchased a car from their store even if their car was purchased after mine's. I am tired of the inconvenience of riding in the back seat - as advised by the recall letter - and tired of asking friends and family to ride in the back seat even when there are only two of us in the car. I would like an explanation of the local lexus dealer on how they schedule the repairs. How do they prioritize their customers to determine who will be serviced and made safer. This is totally unacceptable. None of us affected by this issue should have had to wait at all!!l

Takata recall. Almost a year has passed and nothing has happened but I can't carry passengers in the front seat, meanwhile more and more cars are being recalled. Dealer claims to have no information when or if this will be resolved.

Takata recall we were first notified of the problem via letter from lexus, inc., on july 17, 2016. We have not been able to drive the car with a passenger in the front passenger seat since then. On april 13, 2017, nine months later, we received another letter from lexus that they would replace the defective parts, and to call our dealer to set up an appointment. When we called lexus kearny mesa, they told us they don't have the parts, and they would call us when they get them. Nine months? Totally unacceptable.

Takata recall: I was notified of this recall on jan. 9, 2017. In the notification I was warned not to have anyone ride in the front passenger seat until a remedy is developed. It is now approaching 90 days without any remedy notification. I think this is a bit excessive and certainly outrageous for someone who purchased a luxury automobile and is now unable to have my wife ride in the front passenger seat.

Takata recall my dealer states that, as of today 3/29/2017, they have not received the replacement parts for es350 models. I have not had an incident but I am very concerned about the long delay in correcting the problem, and live in california where the degredation of the inflators is most likely due to climate conditions.
