Takata recall-have called 2 dealerships you listed and will not fix this, sewell lexas of dallas tx and park place lexus in plano tx. i'm driving this car that is recalled and no one will fix problem. hope nothing happens to me while i'm driving

Takata recall - i got notice that my cars airbags could potentially explode and metal debris can go through the airbag which can cause serious injury or death. i would like the airbags to v e replaced and the problem remedied so i can feel safe driving my car.

Takata recall... i received the recall notice several months ago...was told they did not have part at dealership and would be done later in year. called again 8/17/17...told still do not have part.. they are up to year 2010 for repairs ... and told to call back in a few months. in the meantime, they said all i could do is to not have anyone ride in passenger seat... very inconvenient to do for a year.

Takata recall

My only complaint is that i have been advised not to carry a passenger and am offered condolences for the inconvenience, but this problem has been known for nine months with no resolution. that is a long time to either not carry a passenger or worry if i do.

Takata recall dealer called today and said air bag parts to repair not available until december. is this car safe to drive.

Takata recall. i have called lexus of greenville, s.c. numerous times with no success. they will not even call me back. according to the recall i can't have someone ride in the passenger front seat. i have virtually lost the use of this vehicle. this has been going on for at least six months with no end in site. what else can i do?

Takata recall: received a recall notice over a month ago. still no repair solution. they just tell us not to have a front seat passenger. we need to use our car.....all seating positions. why hasn't this been solved?

Takata recall- your database is not up to date; i recieved a recall letter from lexus at beginning of this week. i am trying to get a rental while we wait (months? years? ) for the passenger side (as the letter states, does not say the drivers side)- whay is the best make model etc for us to get? we were told takata is being used to repalce the defective ones! isn't this not right? love to know models. males that don't use takata.!

Takata recall we just bought a lexus350es in september 2016, and were not aware of the takata recall until we received a recall letter on 2/17/17. the letter stated that "lexus is currently preparing the remedy for this problem and will send another notification to all affected owners when the remedy becomes available. and, what should we do? "until the remedy becomes available, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat" and, "we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this will cause, but we are taking this action to ensure your safety" are you frickin kidding me?? we did not buy this so called, nicer car, and spend this much money, to not be able to drive it with an occupant...to transport, to go to & from work, or shop, to do that part of our life that requires a vehicle!!! no, nothing has happened yet, and we have not been in an accident that would trigger the air-bad to injure or kill the passenger; but how can we utilize the car if it is dangerous to our life and needs a repair, that is not even available?? on top of all this, when we were doing the paperwork to purchase this car from carmax, and it came to their disclosure form "important information regarding your purchase- manufacturer recalls and acknowledgment", it indicated that the box marked was " no open recalls reported by nhtsa". the takata recall was a reported recall! we would not have purchased this lexus es350 if we had known about this airbag recall. and, if the form that carmax used stating that there were no recalls, stated that there was an airbag recall in massive numbers; we would have investigated and realized that this recall did not have a remedy, we would not have bought this car!! i feel screwed without a solution. what do we do? what solution is there for us so that we can drive the car safely. ??? *tr

Received notice in january of defective passenger side airbag and still have not received a replacement

Takata recall - i was notified in january 2017 for the recall and it is now october 17, 2017 and no repair has been made.

Takata recall: considering when we were notified back in january of 2017 it is now august. lexus should have these fixed by now. this is too long. there idea of a fix is not to let any passengers ride in your passenger seat until the airbag has been fixed. this might be ok for a month or so, but it is getting absurd now.

Takata recall: we received the recall in january 2017. we can not have any passengers in the front seat. it is now, october and they are saying it may be december but they are no longer sure. this is ridiculous. i want to be able to drive passengers in my car!!

Takata recall nhtsa recall no. 6v-340 & 17v-006. i have been waiting for a remedy to the recall problem for an extended period of time. i continue to get a message that there is no remedy at this time and we will contact you when we have it.
