GOT A NOTICE FROM LEXUS ABOUT THE SAFETY RECALL HOWEVER I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER LONGO LEXUS MORE THAN 4 MONTHS AGO INFORMING THEM THAT I HAD READ ABOUT THE RECALL AND WANTED TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN. I WAS INFORMED THAT I COULD NOT BRING IT IN AT THAT TIME BUT TO NOT LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. MORE THAN 4 MONTHS HAVE PASSED AND I AM JUST NOW GETTING THE NOTICE AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. MY AIR BAN WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR MORE THAN 3 MONTHS AND IT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT FOR ME AND MY FAMILY TO GO SOMEWHERE AND NO ONE EXCEPT THE DRIVER CAN SIT IN THE PASSENGER OR FRONT SEAT. I CALLED LONGO LEXUS FOR AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY SET IT UP FOR MAY 24, 2017 AT 9:00 A.M. HOWEVER IN THE RESPONSE EMAIL THAT WAS SENT BY THE LONGO REPRESENTATIVE SHE ADDED SEVERAL ADDITIONAL SERVICES THAT SHE SAID THAT I REQUESTED WHEN THE ONLY SERVICE I REQUESTED WAS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DANGEROUS AND FAULTY AIR BAG(S). SHE ALSO SENT ME A BOGUS EMAIL ADDRESS AS WELL AS THE NOTIFICATION LETTER SENDING OUT BOGUS WEBSITE. THE WEBSITE REFERENCED IN THE LETTER WAS WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV. HOWEVER WHEN I TRIED TO ACCESS THIS SITE ON MY COMPUTER A MESSAGE CAME BACK THAT THERE WAS NO SUCH SITE. THIS SERVICE NEEDS TO BE EXPEDITED BECAUSE OF WHAT MY FAMILY AND I HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH. DON'T YOU AGREE? BELOW THE QUESTION IS ASKED WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN. I GOT THE LETTER TODAY AND I CALLED LONGO LEXUS TODAY. THIS IS A RECALL NOT AN ACCIDENT. HOWEVER I TRIED TO GET LONG

MY FATHER IN LAW DRIVES A HONDA AND HAD A RECALL ON THE SAME PART FROM "TAKATA" BUT RECEIVED HIS PART WITHIN A MONTH OR TWO. NOT THIS WAS EIGHT MONTHS AGO. NOW I'M STILL WAITING AND NOT HAVING ANY OF MY FAMILY RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF THE DANGER IT IMPOSES. IT SEEMS NOTHING BUT NOTICE ARE BEING GIVE WITH NO RESOLUTION BEING DONE. ITS BECOMING EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. SINCE I CANNNOT DRIVE MY CAR WITH MY FAMILY IN THE FRONT SEAT IS POSSIBLE TO GET A LOANER CAR TO USE.

TAKATA RECALL: BASED ON THE LOSS OF UTILITY OF THE PASSENGER SEAT, LEXUS IS TAKING TOO LONG TO REMEDY THE AIR BAG PROBLEM. ALSO, LEXUS JUST ISSUING AN INTERIM NOTICE, WITHOUT A PLANNED DATE OF FIX IS UNACCEPTABLE AND AT A MINIMUM POOR CUSTOMER RELATIONS.

"TAKATA RECALL" AS I WAS DRIVING THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FLASHING LIGHTS AIRBAG OFF PASSENGER SIDE ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET.
TAKATA RECALL
AIR BAG NOT WORKING ON PASSENGER SIDE...RED LIGHTS FLASHING ON BOTH SIDES..TOOK TO LEXUS SERVICE FOR REPAIR....TOLD THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR AND THAT IS NOT CORRECTING THE MALFUNCTION .....I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT AND IT WOULD COST AROUND $8,000.......THAT IS PROHIBITIVE AS THE BLUE BOOK ON THE CAR ....IN GOOD CONDITION...IS ONLY $9,000 TO $11,000. MY ONLY RECOURSE WOULD SEEM TO HAVE THEM DISCONNECT THE AIR BAGS AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN DO THAT ....I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN NEW MEXICO IN THE 80'S AND THE AIR BAG SAVED MY FACE AND EVEN POSSIBLY MY LIFE SO I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE WITHOUT THEM BUT I CERTAINLY CAN'T AFFORD A REPAIR OF THAT MAGNITUDE. I HAD JUST STARTED MY CAR WHEN THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET ON A STRAIGHT ROAD.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL WAS NOTED BY LEXUS IN MAY 2016. I HAVE JUST BEEN TOLD BY LEXUS THAT THE REPAIR WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL END OF APRIL OR MAY 2017. BASICALLY, ONE YEAR IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE DEFECT TO BE REPAIRED SINCE FOR ALL THIS TIME NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. LEXUS WOULD RENT A $30 PER DAY CAR FOR ME BUT I DON'T CONSIDER THAT A REASONABLE CAR FOR A REPLACEMENT OF A LEXUS ES350. MEANWHILE, THIS MAKES A FAMILY SIZED CAR UNUSABLE FOR REGULAR USE.
TAKATA RECALL I WENT TO LEXUS DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT CAR AND THEY DID NOT OFFER TO REPLACE AIRBAG. MY SON DRIVES THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL: NHTSA RECALL NO 16V-340. WE WERE NOTIFIED OF AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ON OUR 2007 ES 350 IN MAY 2016. RECALL LETTER INDICATED THAT CAR SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN WITH ANYONE OCCUPYING THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL AIR BAG. IS REPLACED. ITS HAS BEEN 10 MONTHS SINCE RECEIVING THIS NOTICE AND A REPLACEMENT AIR BAG IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THIS AMOUNT OF TIME TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS NOT REASONABLE AND WE SHOULD BE COMPENSATED. NOT SURE I WOULD EVEN BE ABLE TO SELL THE VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE NOT RESOLVED. ANGRY OWNER.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
