"takata recall" visited the local dealership in metairie, la to have recall taken care of. They said they would contact me when they were ready to fix problem. My wife and I are senior citizens and are afraid to sit as a passenger of our own car. Why is this taking so long. Over a year since we received notice. Can we demand the use of a similar loaner car? please have this complaint checked. Thanks

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.
