TAKATA RECALL - NO INCIDENT YET

EXPLODING SUNROOF

"TAKATA RECALL", AFTER CONTACTING LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP I MADE AN APPOINTMENT ON 9/8/2017 TO HAVE REPAIRS MADE, I WAS TOLD NO REMEDY AVAILABLE PER THE LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP (LEXUS OF BELLEVUE). IT IS NOW 12/19/2017 AND STILL NO REPAIRS OR REMEDY FROM LEXUS.

TAKATA RECALL; I HAVE MAJOR CONCERN RELEVANT TO NOT ONLY THE PASS/SIDE AIR BAG, BUT TO THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG ALSO. I REQUEST BOTH SIDES BE REPLACED, UNLESS YOU CAN PROVIDE DATA THAT WILL CONFIRM THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG. DEALER/SEWELL ADVISED MY WORK WOULD BE DONE IN SEPT 17. THEY HAVE YET TO SET UP AN APPT FOR MY REPAIRS. PLS HELP. THANKS

TAKATA RECALL - HAVE CALLED THE DEALER THREE DIFFERENT TIMES AND SAYS PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016. RECEIVED NO CONTACT FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT SCHEDULING REPAIRS. CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER IN MARCH 2017. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NO IMMEDIATE PLANS TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS DUE TO LACK OF REPLACEMENT PARTS. MY VEHICLE IS SEVEN YEARS OLD, AND BASED ON THE INFORMATION PUBLISHED REGARDING DEGRADATION OF THE ORIGINAL AIRBAGS, I UNDERSTAND THAT MY VEHICLE IS IN GREATER DANGER OF HAVING DEFECTIVE AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS AIRBAGS. AS A RESULT, I REQUESTED A REPLACEMENT OR LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL REPAIRS COULD BE MADE TO MY VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY A LOCAL DEALER REPRESENTATIVE TO ARRANGE ONE, BUT WAS NEVER CONTACTED THEREAFTER. MANUFACTURER CASE NUMBER IS 1701061699.

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE JUST OUTSIDE BEAUMONT, TEXAS ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2 WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE SIMILAR TO A GUNSHOT OR AN EXPLOSION. IMMEDIATELY AFTER I HEARD THE NOISE, I NOTICED MY SUNROOF COVER SHAKING AND WIND COMING THROUGH THE TOP OF MY CAR. I PULLED THE COVER BACK JUST A LITTLE AND NOTICED SHATTERED GLASS. WHEN I PULLED OVER AT THE NEXT SERVICE STATION, I GOT OUT AND REALIZED MY SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. I CONTACTED LEXUS AND THEY PRETENDED TO BE SURPRISED; HOWEVER, AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE SUNROOF REPAIRED, BUT NOT BY LEXUS. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO REPAIR IT TO THE TUNE OF $2,000. THE SUNROOF REPAIR COMPANY WHERE I TOOK MY CAR REPAIRED IT FOR A FRACTION OF THAT. THIS MORNING I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM LEXUS CORPORATE OFFICE STATING THAT THE DAMAGED SUNROOF WAS DUE TO "IMPACT," WHICH IS NOT TRUE. OF COURSE, LEXUS IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY VEHICLE. I SUSPECT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD UNTIL AN ADEQUATE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM THE DEFECTS. THE GENERAL MANAGER OF LEXUS OF CLEAR LAKE REACHED OUT TO ME ON THIS PAST SATURDAY AND ASKED THAT I EMAIL HER, WHICH I DID. HOWEVER, I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM HER.

TAKATA RECALL. WE RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL IN ROUGHLY AUGUST OF 2016. IT SAID THAT A PASSENGER SHOULD NOT SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY WIFE AND I ARE RETIRED AND ALWAYS DRIVE TOGETHER. THIS RECALL MADE OUR LEXUS UNDRIVEABLE FOR THE PAST YEAR AND 3 MONTHS. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECOMPENSATION BY LEXUS.

I WENT TO MY LEXUS DEALERSHIP SEPTEMBER 14, 2017 AND ASKED WHEN MY DEFECTIVE CAR WILL BE REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE LADY THAT HANDLES CAR DEFECTS WAS IN A MEETING AND SHE WOULD CALL ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE NEXT DAY THE LADY FROM LEXUS CAR DEFECTS CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON EARLIER YEAR MODELS AT PRESENT. SHE SAID THAT SHE DID NOT KNOW WHEN LEXUS WOULD BE WORKING ON THE 2011 AIRBAG DEFECTS. I FEEL THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS COMPLACENT AND SHOULD BE DOING MORE. WHY CAN'T THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TELL ANY AND ALL CAR MANUFACTURERS YOU HAVE A FEW MONTHS TO REPAIR DEFECTS OR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL START LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF NEW CARS THAT THEY CAN SELL IN THE U.S.A.? THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS THE STICK BUT REFUSES TO USE IT. OUR LIVES DON'T MATTER ONLY "MONEY" MATTERS!

TAKATA RECALL

I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY AIR BAG BUT RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT SAYS "TOYOTA'S RECORD INDICATE THAT YOU MAYBE A CLASS MEMBER" IS MY CAR RECALLED?

TAKATA RECALL WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE OVER 14 MONTHS AGO AND A REMEDY HAS NOT YET BEEN MADE AVAILABLE.

IT IS NOW ROUGHLY 8 MONTHS LATER AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE A REMEDY READY FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS BEYOND UNACCEPTABLE AS THEY IDENTIFY RISK TO PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF DEPLOYMENT. EACH TIME I CONTACT THE DEALER THEY SIMPLY STATE THERE IS NOT REMEDY AVAILABLE AT THIS POINT AND JUST WAIT LONGER. MY COMPLIANT IS THAT THIS IS WELL BEYOND A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO MAKE A CUSTOMER WAIT FOR A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT REPAIR.

"TAKATA RECALL"; IT HAS BEEN 14 MONTHS SINCE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM LEXUS; MAY 2016. NO FURTHER UPDATES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. I LIVE IN THE SW FLORIDA CLIMATE WHICH IS CLASSIFIED AS MOST DANGEROUS FOR POSSIBLE EXPLOSION. WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV STILL LISTS NO SOLUTION YET. THIS NEEDS SOME STRONG GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT

TAKATA RECALL/NO LEXUS REMEDY AVAILABLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT LEXUS HAD NO PLAN IN PLACE TO HANDLE THE AIR BAG RECALL AND I DID NOT WANT TO BE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A TICKING TIME BOMB, I FELT THAT IT WAS IN MY BEST INTEREST TO TRADE IN/SELL MY LEXUS. I ENDED UP TRADING MY LEXUS INSTEAD OF SELLING IT BECAUSE I HAD TO INFORM ANY PERSPECTIVE BUYER OF THE PENDING RECALL AND WHAT IT ENTAILED. I ENDED UP TRADING FOR A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY SE AND IN DOING SO COST MYSELF APPROXIMATELY $2000.00 TO $2500.00 BECAUSE I DID NOT GET THE TRUE VALUE FOR THE TRADE IN WHICH WAS LISTED BETWEEN $18,000 - $18,500 IN ALL OF THE RECOGNIZED APPRAISAL COMPANIES I CHECKED AND HAD TO SETTLE FOR A $16,000.00 TRADE IN VALUE DUE TO THE RECALL NOTICE STILL AFFECTING MY LEXUS.

TAKATA RECALL. OVER A YEAR TO RECTIFY THE AIR BAG PROBLEM?! COME ON, THIS IS JUST ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! I FIND IT OFFENSIVE THAT LEXUS EVEN SUGGESTS THAT NO ONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED...REALLY?! LEXUS SHOULD COMPENSATE THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR THE ANGUISH AND TIME ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM. ONE OF THE REASONS I BOUGHT A LEXUS IS BECAUSE OF MINIMAL SAFETY CONCERNS...WILL DEFINITELY CONSIDER THIS ISSUE WHEN PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE IN THE FUTURE.

TAKATA RECALL. IN MAY 2016 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM LEXUS THAT MY AIRBAGS MUST BE REPLACED. IT IS NOW OVER ONE YEAR AND I AM STILL ATTEMPTING TO HAVE THIS ITEM REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL. LN APRIL 2011 WE BOUGHT A 2011 LEXUS E350 FROM, POHANKA LEXUS IN CHANTILLY (13909 LEE JACKSON MEMORIAL HWY, CHANTILLY, VA 20151, POHANKALEXUSCHANTILLY.COM, (703) 968-9100). IN SEPTEMBER 2016 WE RECEIVED A E LETTER INFORMING US OF A DANGEROUS CONDITION REQUIRING A RECALL AND IMMEDIATE REPAIRS. THE CONDITION WAS THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COULD EXPLODE DURING DEPLOYMENT AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE CALLED POHANKA LEXUS NUMEROUS TIME AND ALL WE GET IS THE CLASSIC RUNAROUND THAT THEY ARE "WORKING THE PROBLEM." THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. THEY SHOULD EITHER FIX THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION OR GIVE US A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OF SIMILAR YEAR, MODEL AND CONDITION. THE DEALER HAS NOT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN DO THEY PROPOSE TO DO SOMETHING SINCE IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED THE NOTICE. IT IS NICE THAT THEY SAY DON'T DRIVE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HOWEVER, NOT EVERYONE HAS THE LUXURY OF DOING THIS. MAYBE LEXUS EXECUTIVES HAVE MULTIPLE VEHICLES SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE PASSENGERS RIDE WITH THEM. IF THAT IS THEIR SOLUTION, THE CEO OF LEXUS CAN LEND ME ONE OF HIS CARS UNTIL THEY GET AROUND TO FIXING MINE.

TAKATA INFLATORS NO REMEDY ONE YEAR LATER!!!

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE JUNE 9, 2016. ON OCTOBER 3, 2016 I SPOKE WITH LAURIE WHO ALLEGED THAT I WAS IN ZONE A WHICH WOULD BE AMONG THE FIRST TO BE REPAIRED (ANTICIPATED DATE OF REPAIR THE FIRST OF THE YEAR). I CALLED BACK ON 1-11-17 AND SPOKE WITH JOEL. THE DEALERSHIP HAD NOT REC'D THE PARTS, THEY HAVE NOT HEARD FROM TAKATA. IN THE INTERIM I HAVE BEEN ASKED THAT NO ONE SIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE UNTIL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. I SHOULD CONTINUE PAYING FOR A LUXURY VEHICLE THAT THEY HAVE ASKED NO ONE SIT IN. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT NEITHER LEXUS OR TAKATA INTEND ON REMEDYING THIS DEFECT. I AM OUTRAGED THAT IN ALMOST A YEAR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. YET, LEXUS STILL EXPECTS PAYMENT. AND, TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THEY HAVE PUT, IN WRITING, THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. IN WRITING: HIGH TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY (STATE OF GEORGIA) CAUSE THE ISSUE TO WORSEN. DOES THE NHTSA DEEM THIS APPROPRIATE?

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A LETTER MAY 23, 2016 THAT THE TAKATA AIRBAGS WERE DEFECTIVE AND TO WAIT FOR INSTRUCTIONS. I CALLED LEXUS JULY 19, 2016 AND ASKED WHEN THE REPLACEMENTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE "WE DON'T KNOW" WAS THEIR ANSWER. NHTSA SHOULD HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO TELL TAKATA YOU WILL PUT NO AIR BAGS IN ANY NEW CAR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES UNTIL YOU HAVE FIXED ALL OF THE "TAKATA RECALLS". I NEED A WHOLE CAR WITH MY FAMILY. I WENT TO BUY A NEW CAR (NOT A LEXUS) BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WAS OFFERED LESS MONEY FOR MY TRADE IN BECAUSE OF THE "TAKATA PROBLEM". IF NHTSA DOES NOT HOLD TAKATA'S FEET TO THE FIRE, THEN NHTSA IS PROTECTING TAKATA AND AMERICANS.

I HAVE CALLED AND CONTACTED LEXUS MANY TIMES REGARDING THE PROBLEM WITH MY LEXUS CAR. I HAVE FOLLOWED UP AND DONE ALL THE REQUIRED FEEDBACK NEEDED IN ORDER FOR LEXUS TO ASSIST ME. I FEEL THAT CUSTOMERS DO NOT REALLY MATTER BECAUSE OF THE LENGTH OF TIME LEXUS IS TAKING TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THE VEHICLES WHEN THERE MAY BE A SERIOUS MATTER. THE CAR MANUAL STATES ONE THING AND LEXUS DOES NOT EVEN ABIDE BY THE CAR ALERTS AND DOES NOT APPEAR TO CARE IF THE CUSTOMER IS SAFE OR NOT. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO 3 DIFFERENT CAR MAINTENANCE SHOPS REGARDING THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND I HAVE REPLACED MANY SENSORS AND THE LIGHT CONTINUE NOT TO GO OFF. THE BRAKES IN MY CAR TOTALLY WENT OUT AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. . I HAVE BEEN TOLD ALSO WHAT ABOUT THE AIR BAG. WHY DID LEXUS NOT CONTACT ME TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR AIR BAG REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IT DID NOT DEPLOY IN THE ACCIDENT. THIS IS A LEXUS VEHICLE AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY LEXUS CANNOT GIVE AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT IS WRONG. I WONDER IF LEXUS IS WAITING ON ANOTHER TRAGEDY TO HAPPEN BEFORE INTERVENING. GOD PROTECT ME EVERYDAY BUT LEXUS HAS A BIG RESPONSIBILITY AND BECAUSE OF THE NAME SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE.I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY LEXUS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CARLOS GARCIA WITH TOYOTO WHICH IN THE LETTER HE HAD STATEMENT THAT DID NOT EXIST AND I CALLED LEXUS AND SOMEONE STATED THEY DID NOT GIVE TOYOTO THAT INFORMATION. IN THE LETTER FROM TOYOTO, ONLY THE AIRBAG WAS ADDRESSED WHICH MY WHOLE CASE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AIR BAGS. I CALLED MR. GARCIA AND HE STATED THAT HE HAD ACCIDENTLY MISTAKEN ME WITH THE WRONG PERSON AND THAT HE WILL CALL ME THE NEXT DAY TO CLEAR THE MATTER UP.

TAKATA RECALL. DATE OF THE RECALL IS 5/23/16. TODAY IS 2/27/17. LEXUS' ADVICE IS TO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED. LEXUS TOLD ME TODAY THEY HAVE NO SCHEDULED DATE FOR WHEN TAKATA WILL HAVE THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG AVAILABLE FOR MY MODEL. 10 MONTHS (WITH NO REPAIR DATE SCHEDULED) IS UNREASONABLE AND UNACCEPTABLE WHILE HAVING TO AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT. AND I SEE ONLY 28% OF THE LEXUS VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS REPLACE THUS FAR. SO MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE ACTION BEING TAKEN BY NHTSA AND LEXUS, AND THE URGENCY BY TAKATA ARE UNACCEPTABLE. IT IS APPROACHING A YEAR NOW THAT WE WILL BEEN ASKED TO RIDE IN A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE VEHICLE. ABSURD.

TAKATA RECALL-I JUST RECEVE A NOTICE FEB 23RD 2017 AND THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF ISSUE SINCE MAY 2016.THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION BUT FO ME TO NOT HAVE PPL RIGJT IN MY FRONT SEAT.THAT UNACCEPTABLE. THEY ARE PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK AND TELL ME NOT TO UTILIZE MY FIURE TO FULL CAPACITY.NOT ONLY TJE SAFTY PART BUT I PAY MONTHY ON MY CAR AND THEY GONNA TELL ME THERE NO SOLUTION AFTER A YEAR.THEN I CALL THE NUMBER ON THE NOTICE AND THEY TOLD ME CALL MY NEAREST DEALER TO LET THEM DEAL WITH IT COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE I COULDNT EVEN REACH SOMEONE AT THE DEALER TO TALK TO.

MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE IN OCTOBER. THE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND 2 SENSOR LIGHTS WERE REPLACED. THE LIGHT STAYED OFF FOR A DAY AND CAME BACK ON. THE SHOP THAT REPLACED THE SENSOR SAID TO BRING IT BACK THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG BECAUSE THERE ARE NO LONGER ANY SENSOR TO REPLACE. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I PROCEEDED TO BACK INTO MY CARPORT AND WHEN I PROCEEDED TO GET ON BREAK TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, THE BRAKE FAILED AND I HAD AN ACCIDENT THAT CAUSED A LOT OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR. THANK GOD I WAS NOT PHYSICAL HURT BUT MY CAR WAS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY WAS CONTACTED AND VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AFTER PAYING MY DEDUCTIBLE, I WAS TOLD BY ABRA AUTO PARTS THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED ALL THE DAMAGES HOWEVER THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT STILL WILL NOT GO OFF AND WE SHOULD FOLLOW UP WITH THE LEXUS DEALER BECAUSE THAT WAS A MATTER THAT CANNOT BE FIXED BY THEM. I CONTACTED THE LEXUS COMPANY MANY, MANY TIMES AND STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CLEAR EXPLANATION OF WHY THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I HAVE LOOKED AT THE LEXUS MANUAL AND IT STATED THAT IF THAT LIGHT REMAIN ON, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO A LEXUS DEALER TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. ON NOVEMBER 21ST LEXUS SCHEDULED ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO THE TOYOTA DEALER TO INVESTIGATE THE SITUATION. I DID TAKE THE CAR IN AND TO THIS DATE LEXUS HAS NOT ANSWERED THE QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A DEFECT. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER BECAUSE THE LIGHTS ARE DESIGNED TO ALERT YOU WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG. LEXUS MAY NOT TAKE IT SERIOUS, BUT I DO BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY GOING ON AND MY LIFE COULD BE IN DANGER. I ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING THE AIR BAG FROM LEXUS. THEY ADVISED DO NOT LET ANYONE RIDE ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR UNTIL WE HEAR BACK FROM THEM. TO THIS DAY THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THAT SITUATION.

TAKATA RECALL. TODAY'S DATE: 01/27/17. I'M FILLING THIS COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I AM UPSET AND DISSATISFIED THAT NO REMEDY/SOLUTION HAS BEEN TAKEN REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I RECEIVED A LETTER BACK IN JUNE 2016 ABOUT THIS RECALL AND ALSO A COUPLE PAGES OF FAQ. I CALLED UP MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TODAY, AND WAS INFORMED THE PARTS TO FIX THIS RECALL ISSUE ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. ACCORDING TO THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS LISTED ON THE RECALL NOTICE: "UNTIL THE REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." HOW MUCH LONGER MUST MY FOUR-PERSON PASSENGER CAR REMAIN A THREE-PERSON PASSENGER CAR? HOW MUCH LONGER MUST SO MANY OTHERS AND MYSELF HAVE TO WAIT FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE FIXED? HOW MUCH LONGER MUST I DRIVE MY CAR AND HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT POSSIBLY GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT AND HAVING SHRAPNEL PROPELLED AT ME FROM MY PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG? THE WAIT TIME FOR THE PARTS TO BE ISSUED TO RESOLVE THIS RECALL IS ABSURD. *TR

I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE IN APRIL. I CANNOT CONTINUE TO RISK DRIVING MY CAR, IT IS LIKE A TIME BOMB WAITING TO GO OFF. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNHELPFUL, BY SAYING THEY WIIL CALL ME WHEN THEY HAVE A FIX??

LEXUS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH MY PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG SINCE MAY OF 2016. I UNDERSTAND TO SOME DEGREE THE DELAY CAUSED BY THE MASSIVE NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH THE TAKATA CORPORATION'S PRODUCTS, HOWEVER THIS HAS PREVENTED THE USE OF MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FOR OVER 7 MONTHS WITH NO END IN SIGHT. THIS SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANY MANUFACTURER, PARTICULARLY ONE OF THE STATURE OF LEXUS.

"TAKATA RECALL". ON JULY 10, 2016 I RECEIVED A RECALL IN THE MAIL FROM LEXUS (TORRANCE, CA) ABOUT THE TAKATA FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR. THE RECALL NOTICE GOES ON TO SAY "UNTIL THE REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT". I AM WRITING THESE COMMENTS ON DECEMBER 29, 2016. SO IT'S BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE I'VE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MY LOCAL LEXUS DEALER AND WELL AS LEXUS IN TORRANCE , CA AND NEITHER ONE CAN GIVE MY ANY TIME TABLE ON WHEN THE REPAIRS CAN BE MADE. MY WIFE REFUSES TO SIT IN THE REAR SEAT OF THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT AS COMFORTABLE AS THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT, NOR IS THE REAR SEAT HEATED (WHICH IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS SHE LIKES THE CAR -- SHE HAS BACK PAIN PROBLEMS). SO WHAT I NOW HAVE IS A CAR THAT COST ME $41,000 (CASH) THAT I CAN HARDLY USE. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE SOME COMPENSATION FOR THIS INCONVENIENCE, BUT CONVERSATIONS WITH THE LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS LEXUS, TORRANCE, CA HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY UNSUCCESSFUL. I SHOULD ADD THAT OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, I HAVE PURCHASED FROM LEXUS/TOYATA 5 BRAND NEW CARS. I DID THIS AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN, NOT AS A BUSINESS PURCHASE.

TAKATA RECALL REMEDY IS TAKING TOO LONG.

TAKATA RECALL-LEXUS OF BAKERSFIELD HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL-NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL GET THEIR REPLACEMENTS AND STILL INSISTED THAT WE NOT HAVE ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THEY OFFERED A RENTAL CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T BE A LEXUS. THIS IS TAKING WAY TOO LONG TO INCONVENIENCE THEIR CUSTOMERS.

LEXUS CONTINUES TO PRODUCE NEW SAFER CARS, WITHOUT REPAIRING OLDER ONES WHICH IS RIDICULOUS FOR OWNERS WHO ARE RIDING IN TIME BOMBS.

I CALLED LEXUS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EXPLAINED THAT IT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT I CANNOT USE MY PASSENGER FRONT SEAT WITHOUT THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. I REGULARLY TRAVEL WITH 4-5 OTHER PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE. AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS NOT AT RISK BECAUSE OF THE AREA IN WHICH I RESIDE.

TAKATA RECALL COMMENTS: HELLO..I RECEIVED A INTERIM RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2011 LEXUS ES350. IN THE NOTICE IT STATED, THAT IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT I DO NOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER AREA DUE TO AIRBAG DEFECT. THEY HAVE NOT COME UP WITH REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM THEY JUST STATED THEY RECOMMEND NOT TO HAVE PASSENGER THERE. HOW CAN I DRIVE THIS CAR AND NOT CARRY PASSENGERS? THIS IS UNREASONABLE REQUEST FOR AUTOMAKER TO MAKE TO CONSUMER. I HAVE 48,000 MILES CURRENTLY ON IT. I SENT COMPLAINT TO LEXUS DEALER AND THEY RECOMMEND THAT I STORE THE CAR UNTIL END OF THE YEAR AND NOT DRIVE IT UNTIL THEY HAVE REMEDY. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT THEY INSTRUCT THE CUSTOMER TO DO THIS. I CONTACTED LEXUS 2 DAYS AGO AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED RESPONSE. CAN I DEMAND THAT THEY BUY MY VEHICLE BACK? OR DEMAND THAT THEY GIVE ME A ALTERNATE/LOAN CAR TO DRIVE IN THE MEANTIME BEFORE FIX CAN BE FOUND AND PROBLEM SOLVED? I PURCHASED A LEXUS EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES ALSO!

VEHICLE DUE FOR REGULAR, PERIODIC SERVICE AT LEXUS OF MANHATTAN. ARRIVED @ 07:00. AT 09:35 SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED US OF SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE ROTORS, BRAKES, AND ALIGNMENT. SAID THEY HAD COMPLETED THE ALIGNMENT AND CAUTIONED THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO SUBSEQUENTLY HAVE MAJOR BRAKING SYSTEM REPAIRS. VEHICLE WAS LEASED NEW IN MAY 2011. HAD NEVER EXHIBITED A SINGLE PROBLEM. WAS DRIVEN ~98% HIGHWAYS. ALWAYS GARAGED. NEVER PARKED ON A CITY STREET. THIS LEXUS EITHER IS A "LEMON" OR THE DEALER IS FABRICATING THE TRUTH. PROBLEMS REPORTED TO LEXUS. RESPONSE: "THE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE ARE NOT COVERED AND MUST HAVE RESULTED FROM YOUR MISUSING THE VEHICLE." IN EFFECT, LEXUS IS TAKING THEIR DEALER'S SIDE IN THIS SITUATION LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN TO THIS COMPLAINT TO THE FEDERAL AUTHORITIES. THIS SITUATION IS PURE NONSENSE AND EITHER THE VEHICLE IS A "LEMON" OR THE DEALER WAS "UP-SELLING" AN UNNECESSARY REPAIR.

THUS LEXUS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION (THE PEOPLE WITH WHOM I WAS SPEAKING AT LEXUS) IS PUTTING ITSELF INTO THE POSITION OF ADMITTING THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR VEHICLE BUT THEY WILL NOT EVEN INVESTIGATE THEIR DEALER'S FINDINGS! SOMETHING IS (AGAIN) VERY WRONG WITH THE PEOPLE FROM TOYOTA! *TR

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER GRASPS TOP OF DOOR FRAME TO CLOSE DOOR. DRIVER CLOSES WINDOW BUT IS UNABLE TO STOP WINDOW FROM CLOSING.

AT APPROXIMATELY 7:23 PM ON JULY 8, 2012, WHILE PARKING IN THE PARKING LOT OF OUR LOCAL CHURCH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE CAR WAS ALMOST AT A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN THIS SUDDEN UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION OCCURRED.

I WAS TERRIFIED SINCE AS HARD AS I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY CAR CONTINUED ACCELERATING ; IT RAN OVER THE CONCRETE PARKING BUMP, HIT AN ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION, AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN IT HIT A PARKED SUV ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE PARKING LOT. THE FRONT SECTION OF MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO MY HOUSE AND LATER TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP FOR AN INSPECTION. AN INSPECTOR FROM LEXUS CORPORATION INSPECTED IT ON JULY 17, 2012. HE CALLED ME THE SAME DAY TO LET ME KNOW THAT THE INSPECTION WAS COMPLETED, HOWEVER HE WOULD NOT DISCLOSE ANY INSPECTION RESULTS, DUE TO LEXUS POLICY. I AM STILL AWAITING A FORMAL RESPONSE FROM LEXUS. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30PM, WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A FRIENDS DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN, AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO THE RIGHT AS IF LOCKED IN TO THE RIGHT HAND POSITION, HIT A TREE AND FINALLY CAME TO A STOP BY HITTING HIGH CONCRETE STEPS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND LATER TO THE BODY SHOP AS THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. DURING THE INTERIM, THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY TOYOTA. POST INVESTIGATION, THE LETTER RECENTLY RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA STATES "DURING THE LIMITED TEST DRIVE ACCELERATING AND BRAKING TESTS WERE CONDUCTED AND THE VEHICLE PERFORMED WITH NO ABNORMALITIES FOUND". THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE PER THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANIC AT THE BODY SHOP, DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND FLUID LEAKAGE. THIS LETTER FROM TOYOTA'S INVESTIGATION IS INCONGRUENT WITH THE FACTS AS I KNOW THEM. AS OF THIS DATE, JUNE 3, 2012, THE VEHICLE IS STILL BEING WORKED ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A OWNS A 2011 LEXUS ES350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE AND FORGOT TO SHUT THE IGNITION OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH A PUSH TO START AND STOP FEATURE. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN UNTIL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR SOUNDED. THE DRIVER SUFFERED CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND AS A RESULT, WAS TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL TO TREAT THE CONDITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AT ABOUT 2:00 PM ON DEC 26, 2011, WHILE PARKING IN A PUBLIC COVERED GARAGE, I TURNED INTO THE PARKING SPACE, POSITIONED MY CAR, AND WAS ABOUT TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHEN THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD, HITTING THE CONCRETE WALL IN FRONT OF ME. THE PASSENGER IN MY CAR, MY 21 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, ALSO A LICENSED DRIVER, FELT THE CAR LURCH AND ACCELERATE FORWARD. SINCE I HAD REACHED A GOOD PARKING POSITION, I AM CERTAIN THAT I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE INJURY TO MY FOOT, FROM ALL INDICATIONS, SHOWS THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BREAK. I HAD IT X-RAYED ON DEC 27 AT A PATIENT FIRST MEDICAL FACILITY AND ALSO WAS SEEN ON DEC 28, BY MY FAMILY PHYSICIAN. HE EXAMINED MY FOOT AND INDICATED THAT MY ANKLE SPRAIN WAS INJURED AS I WAS BRAKING; IT WOULD NOT HAVE SUSTAINED THAT INJURY IF MY ANKLE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE ACCELERATOR. *KB

CAPABILITY OF LEXUS ES 350 YEAR 2007: IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ONE TO BE LOCKED OUT OF ONE'S CAR WITH THE SMART KEY IN THE CABIN OR IN THE TRUNK. IF THE SMART KEY WERE IN THE CABIN, ONE COULD NOT LOCK THE DOORS AND WOULD BE ALERTED WITH LOUD CONTINUOUS SIGNAL. IF THE SMART KEY WERE IN THE TRUNK, ONE COULD NOT LOCK THE TRUNK AND WOULD ALERTED WITH A LOUD CONTINUOUS SIGNAL. THIS CAPABILITY DOES NOT EXIST WITH THE LEXUS ES 350 YEAR 2011: IF ONE LOCKS ALL THE DOORS TO THE CABIN AND THEN ACCIDENTALLY PLACES THE SMART KEY INTO THE TRUNK. THE TRUCK CAN THEN BE LOCKED LEAVING THE DRIVER IN THE COLD WITH NO WAY TO GET BACK INTO CAR. THIS A SAFETY HAZARD. WE WERE NOT ALERTED ABOUT THIS SAFETY HAZARD WHEN WE TRADED IN OUR 2007 LEXUS ES 350 FOR THE 2011 LEXUS ES 350. LEXUS RESPONSE: ONCE WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO A PHONE, LEXUS INDICATED THAT WE MUST HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A LEXUS DEALING!!! RECOMMEND THAT LEXUS FIX THIS SAFETY DEFECT ON LEXUS ES 350 YEAR 2011. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH, MIDMORNING, WE HEARD A LOUD POP FROM THE CAR. WE SAW NOTHING ON THE ROAD AND NO ONE ELSE TRAVELING AROUND US EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS. WE WERE NOTIFIED BY A CAR TRAVELING NEXT TO US THAT WE WERE LEAKING GAS. WE PROCEEDED OFF THE HIGHWAY AT THE FIRST EXIT AND PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND SHUT DOWN THE CAR. WITHIN 8-10 MIN, THE ENTIRE TANK OF GAS (WE JUST FILLED THE TANK UP APPROXIMATELY 20 MIN PRIOR) HAD LEAKED ONTO THE GROUND. THE FIRE DEPT WAS CALLED JUST IN CASE THE CAR BLEW UP. THE FIREFIGHTER LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND PUT A PLUG IN THE GAS TANK TO STOP WHAT FUEL WAS LEFT FROM LEAKING OUT THE TANK. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST DEALER. THE SERVICEMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE CAR HAD A WHOLE IN THE GAS TANK, A DENTED OIL PAN AND A SMALL 2IN GASH IN THE SPARE-TIRE WELL ( THE LATTER TWO WE NEVER VERIFIED). THE VEHICLE, PURCHASED NEW 1 MONTH PRIOR, HAD BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 600-800 MILES WITHIN A 4 DAY PERIOD. AS THE MAIN DRIVER, I NOTICED THE VEHICLE HAD A SLOW TAKEOFF AND TOOK SEVERAL PUSHES OF THE GAS PEDDLE TO GET MOVING EVENTHOUGH IT IS A 6 CYLINDER VEHICLE. *TR
