TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR LEXUS TO CALL ME TO FIX THIS FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL FOR ALMOST A YEAR, THEY KEEP SAYING THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS TO DO THE JOB, IS THERE ANYTHING NHTSA CAN DO TO SPEED THINGS UP AS THIS IS COULD BE A LIFE AND DEATH ISSUE.

SOME SNOW & ICE ON I82, FROM SUNNYSIDE, WA, (MP 69) TO WEST RICHLAND (MP 96). ENTERING FREEWAY, CAR WOULD ONLY GO 40MPH, ENGINE SURGING LIKE TRANSMISSION STUCK IN 3RD GEAR. TRAFFIC VERY LIGHT. STOPPED AT WEIGH SCALE TO CHECK WHEEL WELLS FOR ICE AS THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE THE REASON CAR ACTING STRANGE. WELLS COMPLETELY CLEAR. GET BACK ON I82, FIRST UNDERPASS HAS PATCHES OF ICE THAT I CAN SEE. WHEN I GO OVER THE ICE, THE CAR BRAKES HARD BY ITSELF AND THE REAR OF THE CAR SWINGS OUT TO THE LEFT & STARTS TO GO BROADSIDE. I KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. AS TRAFFIC INCREASES, I PUT MY FLASHERS ON & STAY IN THE RIGHT LANE BECAUSE I CANNOT GET THE CAR TO GO FASTER THAN 40MPH. THE NEXT UNDERPASS, I GET AGAIN HARD BRAKING BY THE CAR AND BROADSIDE SWING INTO THE LEFT LANE. I KNOW IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR BECAUSE I DID NOT BRAKE. NEXT UNDERPASS I HAVE TO SLOW TO 30MPH TO MAKE SURE THE CAR COMING UP BESIDE ME IS CLEAR BECAUSE I KNOW I WILL SWING TO THE LEFT. I AM NOT ACCELERATING OR BRAKING AND YES, AGAIN AT 30MPH IT BRAKES AND I GO BROADSIDE TO THE LEFT. THIS IS A TERRIFYING TRIP, THERE ARE 4 OR 5 UNDERPASSES & EACH TIME IT'S THE SAME BROADSIDE MOVEMENT WITH AUTO BRAKING BY THE CAR. I EXIT AT MP 69. GOING EASTBOUND ON KENNEDY RD WHERE THERE IS COMPACT SNOW AND ICE, IT WILL NOT GO FASTER THAN 25MPH AND IS SQUIRRELY, BACK END MINOR SWINGING BACK AND FORTH AS AUTO BRAKING IS HAPPENING. NEXT MORNING, TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, RAN DIAGNOSTICS, COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. HAVE 84,500 MILES ON CAR, BO

MELTING DASHBOARD I HAVE BEEN ON THE LIST FOR MY VEHICLE'S DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD RECALL SINCE 9/2015. I ALSO COMPLETED THE IN STORE INSPECTION REQUIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP 10/2016. YEAR TO DATE, THE DASHBOARD HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. IS LEXUS STILL HONORING THIS RECALL?

TAKATA RECALL. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF TIME TAKEN BY TAKATA AND LEXUS IS IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT SHOULD BE ALLOWED FOR THIS KIND OF SAFETY MATTER. I SUBMITTED A WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE DEALER, WESTSIDE LEXUS, HOUSTON, TX. AND HAVE MADE SEVERAL PHONE CALLS, INCLUDING ONE TODAY, IN OCTOBER, 2016 I WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPLACEMENT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE IN DECEMBER, 2016 OR JANUARY, 2017. TODAY, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A DATE AND IT WAS IN THE GOVERNMENT'S HANDS AS TO WHEN TAKATA WOULD SEND THE PARTS TO THEM FOR THE REPLACEMENT. I LIVE IN A HOT AND HUMID AREA OF THE U.S. WHERE AN EARLIER SAFETY INCIDENT IS LIKELY TO OCCUR. I AM REQUESTING GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE TO RECTIFY THIS MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT DUE TO ANY FAULT ON MY PART IT WAS A MANUFACTURING MISTAKE WITH FATAL CONSEQUENCES. TAKATA HAS INSTALLED THOUSANDS OF NEW AIRBAGS IN NEW TOYOTA AND LEXUS VEHICLES BUT HAS NOT PROVIDED A REPLACEMENT FOR MY MODEL TO THE DEALER. IT IS NOW 8 MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL WAS MADE. I AM REQUESTING THE GOVERNMENT REQUIRE PRIORITY FOR DISTRIBUTION TO DEALERS FOR REPLACEMENT OR REASONABLE COMPENSATION TO CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE BEEN DISADVANTAGED DUE TO TAKATA'S UNREASONABLE DELAY.
TAKATA RECALL - HAVE CONTACTED OUR LEXUS DEALERSHIP FOR 1-1/2 YRS. ACCORDING TO YOUR SITE AND THE DEALERSHIP NO LEXUS AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. SINCE AGE IS THE CRITICAL FACTOR, OLDER CARS SHOULD BE REPAIRED FIRST. WHEN CAN WE EXPECT OUR 2008 CAR TO BE REPAIRED? WHY HAVE LEXUS DEALERSHIPS NOT RECEIVED ANY REPLACEMENT PART?

TAKATA RECALL. PRELIMINARY NOTICE OF RECALL ISSUED BY LEXUS MAY 23, 2016. SINCE THAT TIME NO FURTHER UPDATE RECEIVED OR ACTION NOTED. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A TIMELY FOLLOW-UP. LOCAL LEXUS DEALER WAS MOST UNHELPFUL ABOUT THIS ISSUE. ALTERNATIVE VEHICLE NOT AVAILABLE.
I WAS ADVISED LAST YEAR (MID 2015) THAT THE FRONT AIRBAGS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT AS YET NO RECALL HAS ACTUALLY TAKEN PLACE. I CALLED THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP AND THERE RECOMMENDATION WAS 'NOT ALLOW ANY PERSONS TO RIDE AS A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT'. I TOLD THEM I WAS A REALTOR AND HE SAID 'HAVE THEM SIT IN THE BACK SEAT, YOU CAN BE THE CHAUFFEUR'. NOT MUCH OF A RECOMMENDATION IF YOU ASK ME!! ALL I WANT IS TO GET THE AIR BAGS REPLACED.

POTENTIALLY FATAL HAZARD REGARDING THE AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED SINCE MAY 2016. THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AS OF DECEMBER 15, 2016. LEXUS AND TAKATA ARE NOT DOING ALL THAT THAT SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO DO IN A TIMELY MATTER. THIS IS A MATTER OF SAFETY AND LIFE.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016 TELLING ME NOT TO ALLOW ANY FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN MY CAR DUE TO THE AIRBAG SAFETY ISSUES. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST SIX MONTHS AND I STILL CAN'T USE THE PASSENGER SEAT IN MY CAR. I ASKED THE DEALER TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG BUT THEY SAID THEY CANNOT LEGALLY DO THAT. SO NOW, I HAVE A CAR WHICH IS ONLY PARTIALLY USABLE. IF I HAVE SOMEONE RIDE WITH ME I HAVE THEM SIT IN THE BACK SEAT DUE TO THE DANGER. IT IS A LITTLE WEIRD HAVING CO-WORKERS OR CLIENTS SIT IN THE BACK OF MY CAR. THIS CHANGES MY USE OF THE CAR SUBSTANTIALLY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT MAY BE SUMMER OF 2017 BEFORE THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG WILL BE AVAILABLE. THAT IS NOT A TIMELY FIX TO THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF TAKATA CAN'T MAKE THE AIRBAGS IN A TIMELY MANNER CAN'T THEY SUBCONTRACT THE WORK OUT TO SOMEONE WHO CAN DO THE JOB? VERY FRUSTRATED. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO HURRY THIS ALONG SO THAT I CAN FULLY USE MY CAR AGAIN. *TR
I PURCHASED MY LEXUS 2008 ES 350 ON MARCH 2016 FROM LEXUS OF AUSTIN.THE 2008 LEXUS ES 350 HVAC SYSTEM IS BLOWING MOLDY, MILDEW, AND ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE SMELLS INTO THE CAR. THE TOXIC COMBINATION IS MAKING ME SICK AND IS CAUSING TIGHTENING OF MY THROAT, TONGUE, REFLUX, AND STOMACH PROBLEMS. I HAD MY CAR TESTED FOR MOLD AND THIS IS WHAT I FOUND.
TAKATA RECALL - AFTER ALMOST 2 YEARS, LEXUS HAS NOT PROVIDED A RECALL FOR THE DEFECTED AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE.
PROBLEM IDENTIFIED IN MAY OF 2016 HAS YET TO BE RECTIFIED AS OF DECEMBER 2016. THIS DOES NOT QUALIFY AS " TIMELY" RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM. MY CAR POSES A HAZARD TO ME AND PASSENGERS AND IS FAR LESS MARKETABLE IN THIS CONDITION.
TAKATA RECALL LEXUS HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE A REMEDY WITHIN AN ACCEPTABLE PERIOD OF TIME

TAKATA RECALL- RECALL HAS BEEN SINCE MAY 2016 AND STILL NO REMEDY. WE ARE A FAMILY OF 5 AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO USE THIS FAMILY CAR. THIS IS ARE MOST ECONOMICAL CAR OF THE TWO WE OWN.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A LETTER INFORMING ME OF THE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE FACT THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. MY RECALL DATE IS MAY 23, 2016. SO FAR I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FURTHER AND IT HAS BEEN MONTHS. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND I SHOULD AT LEAST BE GIVEN A RESOLUTION DATE.
TAKATA RECALL; REC'D LETTER IN MAY, 2016 FROM LEXUS STATING PROBLEM WITH AIRBAGS. TODAY, OCTOBER 21, 2016 STILL NO FIX! I DRIVE MY CAR BUT IF I HAVE A PASSENGER, I MAKE HIM/HER SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING, TO THINK THE AIRBAG MAY INFLATE IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS THAT TAKATA CAN'T REMEDY THIS SITUATION. I DON'T BLAME LEXUS, AS THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT THEIR PRODUCT, WHICH IS MY UNDERSTANDING. HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO WAIT TO DRIVE A SAFE CAR AGAIN? IT'S BEEN 6 MONTHS ALREADY. I LIVE IN 'ZONE A' AND MY CAR IS WELL WITHIN THE 6-9 YEARS 'SIGNIFICANT PROPELLANT DEGRADATION MAY OCCUR.' TIME FRAME!

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.
