RE MY 2007 LEXUS ES 350 VIN # [XXX] & A NATIONAL RECALL ISSUED. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR A YEAR & A HALF, AND DURING THAT TIME, WE EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WITH THE DASH WHERE IT WAS MELTY, STICKY, &HAD MAJOR ISSUES. RECENTLY, I WAS AN INTERIOR SHOP, HAVING A SEAR REPAIRED, AND THEY MADE ME AWARE OF A RECALL FOR THE DASHBOARDS. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP, LEXUS OF AUSTIN, IN JUNE 2017, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD MISSED THE NATIONAL RECALL DEADLINE BY THREE WEEKS AND WERE NO LONGER REPAIRING THOSE. AS I WAS DEFINITELY HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THIS DURING THE WARRANTY RECALL TERM, I AM ASKING THAT THIS BE TAKEN CARE OF UNDER THE RECALL WARRANTY. I CONTACTED LEXUS OF AUSTIN &DISCUSSED THIS, THEY WERE VERY ABRUPT &NOT VERY HELPFUL, & TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT IN EARLIER. WHEN I TOLD HIM I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS EARLIER, HE SAID THAT I HAD NOT HAD MY CAR AT THEIR DEALERSHIP, SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN HOW TO CONTACT ME. I TAKE ISSUE WITH THIS FACT, AS I'VE OWNED SEVERAL OTHER MAKES OF VEHICLES, IN WHICH THERE HAVE BEEN WARRANTY RECALLS, IN WHICH THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER HAS CONTACTED ME BY MAIL, UTILIZING VEHICLE REGISTRATION INFORMATION, AS THOSE VEHICLES HAD NEVER BEEN AT THEIR DEALERSHIPS EITHER. THE VEHICLE'S DASH IS STICKY &MELTING, &HAS DEVELOPED A SHEEN TO IT, &WHEN DRIVING IN THE SUNLIGHT, IT PRODUCES A REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD, OBSTRUCTING VIEWS AND DISTRACTING THE DRIVER?S EYE. THIS IS NOT JUST A COSMETIC ISSUE, BUT A SAFETY ISSUE. LEXUS IS HELD I

TAKATA RECALL ITS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS SINCE ORIGINALLY RECEIVING CORRESPONDENCE FROM LEXUS ABOUT THE RECALLED AIR BAGS. I'VE CALLED CORPORATE AND LOCAL DEALERS AT LEAST ONCE PER QUARTER TO CHECK STATUS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY IF THE PRODUCTS HAD BEEN DELIVERED TO A REMEDY. I JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE FROM LEXUS STATING THE RECALL NOW HAD A REMEDY, BUT WHEN YOU CALL LOCAL DEALERS, THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS, HAVE NO CLUE WHEN MORE PARTS WILL ARRIVE, AND HAVE TO BE PLACE ON A WAIT LIST WITH NO IDEA OF DURATION. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN WHO ENJOY RIDING IN THE FRONT SEAT, BUT CAN'T BECAUSE ALL THE BACK AND FORTH ABOUT BLAME AND LACK OF A REMEDY. A RECALL OF ANY KIND SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS LONG TO FIND A REMEDY AND FIX AFFECTED VECHICLES.

"TAKATA RECALL". I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN JULY 2007 AND THIS AIRBAG PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I RECEIVED AN INTERIM RECALL NO. NHTSA 16V-340 WHICH RECOMMENDED NOT RIDING IN THE FRONT PASSEMGER SEAT. HOW PRACTICAL IS THIS? IF THESE CARS ARE DANGEROUS THEN GIVE US A LOANER UNTIL LEXUS CAN GET THE CARS FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL--- HELP--- I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH MY ALMOST 80 YEAR OLD WIFE IN THE FRONT SEAT OF OUR LEXUS..... MANUFACTURES SAYS INFLATORS COULD FAIL AND KILL HER. SHE REFUSES TO RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT LIKE A CHILD. LOCAL CAR DEALER SAYS PARTS STILL NOT AVAILABLE-- I REALLY AM WONDERING WHEN THIS BOMB WILL GO OFF? THIS HAS BEEN ON RECALL FROM MAY 23, 2016. ---- I AM GOING TO HOLD SOME ONE AT NHTSA RESPONSIBLE IF THIS BOMB EXPLODES.... PLEASE HELP US / WE CAN NOT JUST NOT USE THE FRONT SEAT OF THIS CAR. REV.

MY 2007 LEXUS ES 350 IS UNDER RECALL FOR A FAULTY TAKATA PASSENGER AIR BAG. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET A REPLACEMENT DATE FOR THIS AIR BAG FROM MY TOYOTA DEALER; I.E., LEXUS OF WAYZATA, 16100 WAYZATA BLVD., WAYZATA, MN 55391, (952) 475-6111. I UNDERSTAND THAT HAVING AN OLDER MODEL VEHICLE PUTS MY PASSENGER AT GREAT RISK TO INJURY DUE TO THE DETERIORATION OF THE PROPELLANT. THE SUGGESTED REMEDY OF NOT USING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SEEMS HARDLY REASONABLE FOR AN UNKNOWN LENGTH OF TIME. I SHOULD AT LEAST BE GIVEN A REPLACEMENT DATE OR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE AIRBAG DANGER MID JANUARY 2017. MY LEXUS DEALER - NEW COUNTRY LATHAM HAS REFUSED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE TO PERMIT THE DELAY OF THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION AND LIMIT THE USE OF THE VEHICLE TO BACK SEAT PASSENGERS.

WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT AFTER BUYING AND OWNING FOR A YEAR. AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR NUMEROUS REPAIRS OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR I ENDED UP HAVING TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE AND GETTING STUCK WITH A LIEN FOR THE LEXUS IN WHICH THE CAR IS NON-FUNCTIONAL. PAID OUT OF POCKET THUS FAR FOR A NUMBER OF ISSUES, INCLUDING: RADIATOR FAILING, ALL HOSES REPLACED, AXLE REPLACEMENT, TO NAME A FEW. CAR ONLY HAD 15000 MILES PLACED ON IT, BOUGHT USED. PURCHASED A WARRANTY THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP AND WHEN ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A CLAIM, CLAIM WAS DENIED DUE TO DEALERSHIP NON-PAYMENT & "FORGETTING TO FILE PAPERWORK." OPENED UP CLAIM WITH MARYLAND INSURANCE COMMITTEE AND REPORTED DEALERSHIP FOR FRAUD.

THE DEFECT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED FOR OVER TWO YEARS. HOWEVER, TAKATA AND LEXUS HAVE FAILED TO PRODUCE A CORRECTION. I HAVE A 2014 ACURA RDX WITH A TAKATA AIR BAG ISSUE AS WELL, IT HAS BEEN CORRECTED. THE DELAY ON THE LEXUS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR ERROR CODE WAS DETECTED AND NOW AIRBAG LIGHT IS TURNED ON THE DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE TO HELP PAY FOR IT AND THEY DENIED THE REQUEST. THE DEALER IS CHARGING $1800 FOR THE PART AND $800 FOR LABOR. I JUST GOT MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND NOW DEALING WITH AIRBAG ISSUE. THERE'S BEEN A RECALL FOR ANOTHER AIR BAG ISSUE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHICH THE CORPORATE TOOK CARE OF THIS THEY WILL NOT HELP WITH THE OCCUPANCY SENSOR NOT WORKING. PLEASE ASSIST US ON HOW THEY EXPECT THE CONSUMERS TO PAY SUCH A PRICE TO DRIVE WITH WORKING AIRBAG. I BELIEVE THERE'S BEEN MANY ES350 2007 MODEL THAT'S BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS SAME PROBLEM AND I STRONGLY FEEL IT SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL.
