I was involved in a collision. The front of my car my made full contact with the rear of the car in front of me. I was traveling at least 25 mph if not more before impact. The impact resulted in $10,000 in damage to the front of the Lexus and it was declared a total loss. The Lexus was damaged from headlight to headlight and the airbag(s) did not deploy. The hood also sustained damage as well as the radiator, yet the airbag(s) did not deploy.

To whom it may concern: I am in receipt of a recall notice from Lexus division Toyota motor company in which there were numerous large block red lettered warnings informing me of this danger and the urgency of my response. However, when I called the dealer to schedule the repair, I was informed that the dealer was only allowed by Lexus division Toyota motor company to schedule one such recall repair per week and that my dealer would be more than happy to put me on the waiting list. A list whose length the dealerships caller could not ascertain but guessed it would be five to six weeks. If over the next five weeks, there were to be a serious injury or even a death because this was not taken care of, I place the liability for such on Lexus division Toyota motor company. I am giving you the opportunity to stay off this liability list by immediately informing Lexus division Toyota motor company that their allocation of resources to repair this urgent recall danger is woefully inadequate.
