Takata recall: recall began may 23,2016. Lexus has not fixed my car and it is now jan 20, 2017. Eight months is entirely too long to still be determining the solution. The safecar.gov site states that some cars have been fixed. I am in the first phase of recalls, yet still don't have a car that I can drive!!
Lexus alerted me in writing may, 2016 as to the problem with the passenger air bag. Their solution is to not have anyone in passenger seat. It has now been 8 months and there still is no replacement.

Lexus consumer writes in regards to vehicle airbag explosion during accident. *smd the consumer stated his wife was a passenger in the vehicle which rear ended another vehicle. The consumer's wife stated the explosion of the air bag and flying debris caused more injuries than the accident itself.
The red airbag light is permanently on on the dashboard that indicates the passenger airbag is off. This is a huge safety issue! Although lexus has realized this is an issue, they are taking advantage of their design flaws and charging an exorbitant price to fix the problem. This should be considered a recall since apparently this issue is widespread amongst all of these models especially after the warranty has expired.
Car went head on into telephone pole. Car was totaled. Severe front end damage. Airbags did not deploy..... Updated 06/30/15
Tl* the contact owned a 2010 lexus is 250. While driving approximately 50 MPH, the contact swerved to avoid a crash from an oncoming vehicle. As a result, another vehicle rear ended the contact's vehicle. The contact's vehicle crashed into a tree and the air bags failed to deploy. The driver sustained injuries and a police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer stated that the impact did not meet the specifications that would warrant air bag deployment because the vehicle was crashed into from the rear. The failure mileage was unknown.
