Problems with 2008 Lexus ES 350 AIR BAGS

The passenger side airbag is being disabled by a defective sensor in the seat and lexus is informing customers that they don't have the parts to fix the issue. therefore, the passenger airbag is essentially permanently disabled. this is a serious concern since any person traveling in the front passenger seat will no longer have a working airbag.

Takata recall: i was notified of this recall on jan. 9, 2017. in the notification i was warned not to have anyone ride in the front passenger seat until a remedy is developed. it is now approaching 90 days without any remedy notification. i think this is a bit excessive and certainly outrageous for someone who purchased a luxury automobile and is now unable to have my wife ride in the front passenger seat.

Takata recall. it has been about 6 months since we were notified about the air bag recall. we keep calling our local dealer to get an estimated date that the air bags will be replaced and all we get is ' we will call you when get them to schedule the repairs'. why is it taking so long?!?!?!?!?! i didn't purchase the car from that dealer so i wondering if they are putting my safety behind the safety of the lexus owners who purchased a car from their store even if their car was purchased after mine's. i am tired of the inconvenience of riding in the back seat - as advised by the recall letter - and tired of asking friends and family to ride in the back seat even when there are only two of us in the car. i would like an explanation of the local lexus dealer on how they schedule the repairs. how do they prioritize their customers to determine who will be serviced and made safer. this is totally unacceptable. none of us affected by this issue should have had to wait at all!!l

Takata recall - received a recall notice 6 months ago. to date eskridge lexus dealership says there is no remedy. also, inquiring about the 500.00 rebate from the class action lawsuit.

Potentially fatal hazard regarding the airbag inflator has been identified since may 2016. there is still no remedy as of december 15, 2016. lexus and takata are not doing all that that should be required to do in a timely matter. this is a matter of safety and life.

Takata recall - after almost 2 years, lexus has not provided a recall for the defected airbags in my vehicle.

Problem identified in may of 2016 has yet to be rectified as of december 2016. this does not qualify as " timely" resolution of the problem. my car poses a hazard to me and passengers and is far less marketable in this condition.

Takata recall we were first notified of the problem via letter from lexus, inc., on july 17, 2016. we have not been able to drive the car with a passenger in the front passenger seat since then. on april 13, 2017, nine months later, we received another letter from lexus that they would replace the defective parts, and to call our dealer to set up an appointment. when we called lexus kearny mesa, they told us they don't have the parts, and they would call us when they get them. nine months? totally unacceptable.

Takata recall - i received my recall notice in july 2016 telling me not to allow any front seat passengers to ride in my car due to the airbag safety issues. it has been almost six months and i still can't use the passenger seat in my car. i asked the dealer to disable the airbag but they said they cannot legally do that. so now, i have a car which is only partially usable. if i have someone ride with me i have them sit in the back seat due to the danger. it is a little weird having co-workers or clients sit in the back of my car. this changes my use of the car substantially. i have been told it may be summer of 2017 before the replacement airbag will be available. that is not a timely fix to this very dangerous situation. if takata can't make the airbags in a timely manner can't they subcontract the work out to someone who can do the job? very frustrated. please do something to hurry this along so that i can fully use my car again. *tr
