Takata recall I have been calling the Lexus dealers here in Texas for almost a year after getting the recall letter and they still do not have parts for the airbag. In the mean time, someone could be killed sitting in my passenger seat. I have grandkids that I Transport to school and athletic activities. My car Is almost 8 years old and I live in a high humid state. I have even talked to corporate from Lexus and they have no answers or remedies and no timeline as when my car will be fixed. This looks like a lawsuit in the making.

Takata recall - immediately after purchasing this used car, I noticed the red light, but was not aware at the time that it was warning light. So my airbag red light remains on all the time once the car Is started. I later was informed that this should not be happening and I am now fearful and see this as an airbag defect that could lead to serious concern of questionable safety. I think it Is unfair that Lexus now wants to charge me $280 for a diagnostic for the root of this problem, when in fact they know that these takata airbags are not safe and millions of cars have already been recalled.

Takata recall- the dealership offers no help as to when my passenger airbag will be replaced and merely tells me to not drive anyone in my car unless they are in the back seat. This car originated in Texas, a high humidity state, and I have no idea how much degradation has taken place. I reside in Oklahoma and purchased the car this year, 2016, from a private party in Oklahoma and was not made aware of any problems. I am concerned about driving this car and have no idea when it will be fixed or if that will happen before takata goes out of business.

Takata recall I received a letter in May 2016 that there was a recall on the passenger airbag and needed to come in for service, I took my vehicle in and was told they had not received the parts and would notify me when they were available. As of 12/09/2016 they still nave not received what they need to fix my vehicle. I am very dissatisfied with Lexus. I would like someone to get this problem resolved as soon as possible. If I do not get satisfaction I may have to contact an attorney.

Takata recall- I have been advised not to operate my vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat which Is absolutely ridiculous! when calling Lexus service they just state they can't fix the recall at this time and really nothing they can do! this Is unacceptable. It Is going to take a death to make this recall important and get out problems fixed in a timely manner

Takata recall: I received a recall notice months ago stating that they have no remedy for this at this time but that no one should be sitting in the passenger seat or they may die. When are they going to offer a solution? it's not a solution to tell someone not to use the passenger seat in a 2 door convertible! I just want Toyota to be responsible and fix this.

Takata inflators- I received a recall notice in June 2016 and was originally told parts would be available in Sep 2016, then Oct- Jan 2017 and finally early 2017. I was told not to have anyone ride in my passenger seat. 1. this Is not possible long term 2. I don't have the money to pay for my current car plus a rental every 30 days and wait for a check to be mailed to me. 3. I don't have the means to store 2 cars long term. 4. I don't believe this problem Is limited to the passenger airbags. The dealership has been referring me to Lexus and Lexus has been referring me to the dealership. No one wants to take ownership and fix the problem. It Is not safe for me to drive my car and Lexus will not acknowledge the problem.

Takata recall; I want this taken care of! I just found out about the recall because I went to trade my car in for a new one. I cannot afford the new one now, but I drive my grandchildren around every day. No one told me about this and I am livid. I have my oil changed every 5,000 miles at the local Lexus dealership so my information Is definitely on file. Does someone have to die for Lexus to take care of this"?" the lawsuits you will be paying for will be far greater than if they just hire extra people to take care of all these cars.
