TAKATA RECALL. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF AIRBAG RECALL WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTACT A LEXUS DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG. I HAVE CONTACTED TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND HAVE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT NO "FIX" IS AVAILABLE.

DURING THE MANDATORY HURRICANE EVACUATION, OUR FAMILY WAS FORCED TO USE OUR FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THANK G-D NOTHING HAPPENED, BUT THIS CORRECTIVE PERIOD IS GONE ON TOO LONG. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR RESOLUTION -- AND ALL WE ARE TOLD IS THAT THE NECESSARY PART IS UNAVAILABLE AND TO WAIT LONGER -- AND IN THE INTERIM PLACE OUR FAMILY IN A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION.

PLEASE, SOMEONE EXPLAIN THE LACK OF APPARENT URGENCY. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE NEED TO DIE? THE DEATH TOLL ESTIMATE IS NOW 19. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE NEED TO DIE BEFORE THE REST OF US GET ANSWERS?!?!
TAKATA RECALL
"TAKATA RECALL" - THE RECALL HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE JANUARY 2017 AND THERE IS NO REMEDY TO DATE OTHER THAN I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE FOR MONTHS ON END. THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE REQUEST FOR THE LENGTH OF TIME THIS IS GOING ON. THERE IS ALSO NOT A FUTURE PLANNED DATE OF WHEN THE AIR BAG WILL BE REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL - SINCE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG, I HAVEN'T BEEN GIVEN ANY UPDATES ON WHAT THE REMEDY IS OR WHEN THE RECALL CAN BE SCHEDULED TO GET THE FIX REPAIRED. THIS EVERLASTING UNCERTAINTY HAS LEFT ME WITHOUT A FULLY FUNCTIONAL CAR, AS WELL AS FORCING ME TO MAKE ALL PASSENGERS SIT IN THE BACK SEATS TO AVOID POTENTIAL INJURY. HOW CAN I GET LEXUS TO ACT ON THIS, IF NOT INFORM THE PUBLIC OF THE PLAN TO COMPLETE?
