"TAKATA RECALL". I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN JULY 2007 AND THIS AIRBAG PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I RECEIVED AN INTERIM RECALL NO. NHTSA 16V-340 WHICH RECOMMENDED NOT RIDING IN THE FRONT PASSEMGER SEAT. HOW PRACTICAL IS THIS? IF THESE CARS ARE DANGEROUS THEN GIVE US A LOANER UNTIL LEXUS CAN GET THE CARS FIXED.

MY 2007 LEXUS ES 350 IS UNDER RECALL FOR A FAULTY TAKATA PASSENGER AIR BAG. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET A REPLACEMENT DATE FOR THIS AIR BAG FROM MY TOYOTA DEALER; I.E., LEXUS OF WAYZATA, 16100 WAYZATA BLVD., WAYZATA, MN 55391, (952) 475-6111. I UNDERSTAND THAT HAVING AN OLDER MODEL VEHICLE PUTS MY PASSENGER AT GREAT RISK TO INJURY DUE TO THE DETERIORATION OF THE PROPELLANT. THE SUGGESTED REMEDY OF NOT USING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SEEMS HARDLY REASONABLE FOR AN UNKNOWN LENGTH OF TIME. I SHOULD AT LEAST BE GIVEN A REPLACEMENT DATE OR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE.

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.
