Problems with 2007 Lexus ES 350 AIR BAGS

Lexus es 350 2007 dashboard is melting and compromised. due to the sticky mess the airbags will not deploy properly and death will likely occur. very concerned about the toxicity of the dashboard as well. it's melting, changing color from black to white and cracking. this carcinogenic material is now poisoning all who ride in the vehicle. included photo does not convey the glossy melting ,sticky reality of it all. the glossy melting reflection causes lots of glare and impairs visibility on sunny days. this issue must be resolved before a life is taken needlessly. lexus refuses to replace the dashboard even though they admit that its a compromised part and have deceptively allocated this safety issue as a warranty problem that has expired. because my vehicle is seldom driven and garaged (69,717k miles) problem did not surface until now.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 lexus es 350. the contact stated that the dashboard was melting and created a blinding glare that could cause a crash. the vehicle was taken to prestige lexus of ramsey (1000 nj-17, ramsey, nj 07446, (855) 484-6393), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the contact also received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v340000 (air bags). the failure mileage was 90,000.

I have a family of five and have not been able to use my vehicle to take my whole family anywhere for almost a year now. any time i have a passenger i have to ask that they sit in the back seat. the dealership was supposed to contact me to determine airbag replacement date and provide a loaner car if they could not replace the airbag in a timely manner. i have not been able to get through to the dealership and have not received a return call. i feel i have been patient but this has become a burden on me and my family and i would like the airbag to be fixed as soon as possible so i can use my vehicle as a family car as intended.

My vehicle, 2005 lexus es350 is equipped with front passenger airbag inflators produced by takata. as of today november 22, 2017, my vehicle is still not being recall by the manufacturing to have replace the defect airbag. also, my driver side backseat seatbelt is not hold on when latched in. i believe it is a safety that need to be fix. i am still using the vehicle for driving.

Takata recall. we called lexus of fife in november of 2017 when we received notification the airbag replacements were available. as of this date of january 21st 2018 we have not had a fix. when we called the first of the year we were told we we #51 on the list. we called again mid month and were told the same thing #51. there seems to be no sense of urgency to solve this issue. we are scheduled to drive to southern california for a wedding in mid february 2018 and i would like this issue resolved before we drive that far. if this is a deadly issue shouldn't it be a priority to solve it. while i understand lexus of fife can't do free work all day there should be another option to fix this problem asap.

Takata recall- kuni lexus at colorado springs, co advised me several months ago that my es350 was scheduled to be repaired in september 2017. they are now telling me that it won't be repaired until december 2017. they notified me that i should not operate the vehicle with a passenger in the front seat thus creating a hardship for my family.

My wife involved an accident when she was driving crossing an intersection in the city of pomona, ca. she was impacted by the crossing car on the driver's front and side plus the left rear passenger's side right behind the driver. the car was totaled, but none of the front and side airbags were deployed during the impact, which caused the left clavicle bone fracture, head injuries, and leg injuries to my wife. the car was confirmed to equip with side curtain airbags, and knee airbags.

Takata recall dealership said they have no idea when replacement airbags are coming......tjhey did not evenoffer a guess,,,,what am i supposssed to do???

Takata recall - i was notified of the airbag danger mid january 2017. my lexus dealer - new country latham has refused to remedy the problem. it seems unacceptable to permit the delay of this dangerous situation and limit the use of the vehicle to back seat passengers.
