I had a head on collision with a light pole and the airbags did not deploy. The vehicle was inspected by aProgressive insurance claims adjuster and they claimed the vehicle a total loss. They kept the vehicle. There were no warning lights or anything. The vehicle had been taken into a North Park Lexus dealership after a defective airbag recall to be serviced in 2018.

Dealer, atlantic city lexus, advises that it is very costly to repair the air bag system as it involves miles of wires. Therefore, I don't want to drive the car.
Takata recall can not get an appointment to replace air bag at bay ridge lexus of brooklyn. Called 5 times to schedule an appointment and customer service keeps tlling me that they will call back but never called.
Cpu under seat controlling car airbags has failed. Lexus will not fix the issue. Airbags may not deploy or inflate. Lexus states its not a saftey issue requiring their attention. Lexus stated they know aboutthe issue and it is happening in other vehicles. Someone is going to get seriously injured because of this.
Takata recall the passenger side airbag in my vehicle was subject to a may 23, 2016, recall date but has not yet been replaced by lexus as of today, june 26, 2017.
Takata recall may 2016 it has been a year since I was notified of this recall and lexus has not yet replaced the airbag!
Takata recall, the fix for this recall has taken almost a year and suggested that no one sits in the front passenger seat which has been very inconvenient for me and my family.
Takata recall I have been calling the lexus dealers here in texas for almost a year after getting the recall letter and they still do not have parts for the airbag. In the mean time, someone could be killed sitting in my passenger seat. I have grandkids that I transport to school and athletic activities. My car is almost 8 years old and I live in a high humid state. I have even talked to corporate from lexus and they have no answers or remedies and no timeline as when my car will be fixed. This looks like a lawsuit in the making.
Takata recall - immediately after purchasing this used car, I noticed the red light, but was not aware at the time that it was warning light. So my airbag red light remains on all the time once the car is started. I later was informed that this should not be happening and I am now fearful and see this as an airbag defect that could lead to serious concern of questionable safety. I think it is unfair that lexus now wants to charge me $280 for a diagnostic for the root of this problem, when in fact they know that these takata airbags are not safe and millions of cars have already been recalled.
Takata recall- the dealership offers no help as to when my passenger airbag will be replaced and merely tells me to not drive anyone in my car unless they are in the back seat. This car originated in texas, a high humidity state, and I have no idea how much degradation has taken place . I reside in oklahoma and purchased the car this year, 2016, from a private party in oklahoma and was not made aware of any problems. I am concerned about driving this car and have no idea when it will be fixed or if that will happen before takata goes out of business.
