My dashboard has been recalled and mine is split and keeps getting larger especially where the passenger airbag is located. Lexus told me in july 2015 that the "dashboards will be released at the end of this month." that did not happen. The response that I received as to whether my airbags were takata, lexus responded, "unfortunately we do not have data on the manufacturer....but can assure you that ...the airbags...are not under any recall at this time." I am suppose to feel good driving my car with that statement? They have always known every part in my car by VIN #. I am also driving around with the headlights' excessive moisture after they finally could replace those. Alluding me that I would be able to get the dashboard fixed at the end of july, I held off get that repaired until I could do all three. Now, I believe that the headlights' repair will be at my expense. When is the federal safety agency.dot.gov going to enforce the recalls? I & many others are driving death vehicles!!! Are my children going to have to sue both you & lexus for neglect? I, & numerous others, thought that we were paying you to protect us. When are you going to protect us instead of just recording our issues?

My 2004 lexus rx330 has horrible paint issues on the front bumper. Paint started chipping off in huge sections and it looks terrible. This has only happened on the front bumper and the rear view mirrors. Seems like the paint is defective in these area's. So disappointed. Also the transmission is messed up. Seems like it hops in between 1-2 RPM. I even had the transmission rebuilt and it still didn't fix the issue. It still does it. I have heard that this is a major issue with these vehicles.
