2007 LEXUS ES Complaints

TAKATA RECALL AND ECU. MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON NOT REGISTERING THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN IT. NO OE RARELY SITS IN THAT SEAT, THE TIME TE LIGHT CAME ON NOONE WAS IN IT. THE CAR WAS STILL. WENT TO LEXUS DEALER COST ME 450 FOR THEM TO CALIBRATE IT. STILL ISSUE STATES IT THE ECU BEING FAULTY AND IT COST 2100 TO FIX, FOR A SENSOR THATS CRAZY, THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL TOO. PAY TOO MUCH FOR A LEXUS TO HAVE FAULTY PART ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS MODEL HAS HAD OVER 5 RECALLS IN THE LAST 10 YEARS SINCE THE CAR WAS MADE RIDICULOUS, THIS SHOULD BE A LEXUS REPAIR NOT CAR PURCHASER.

TAKATA RECALL - HOW IS IT THAT THIS IS THIS SERIOUS WITH SO MANY PEOPLE DYING AND WE DO NOT EVEN HAVE AN ESTIMATE ON WHEN THEIR COULD BE A REMEDY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY 26 YEAR OLD SON DRIVES THIS CAR AND I WORRY EVERY DAY EITHER COME UP WITH A SOLUTION AND AN ETA OR BUY THE CAR BACK OR GIVE ME A RENTAL UNTIL THERE IS A SOLUTION.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTICE OF A RECALL ON MY LEXUS IN MAY AND AT THAT TIME THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I NOT CARRY PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG ISSUE. IT'S NOW GOING ON SEPTEMBER AND I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN PROVIDED REPAIR OR DEALER INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECALL REPAIRS?

TAKATA RECALL, THIS HAS BEEN SINCE MAY 2016, THREE MONTHS HAS PASSED. IM TOLD BY LEXUS I CANT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. FOR THREE MONTHS MY FAMILY HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO UTILIZE THIS CAR . THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - "PASSENGER" AIRBAG MALFUNCTION - LEXUS SENT A LETTER STATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IF DEPLOYED EXPLODE AND METAL FRAGMENTS CAN INJURE RIDERS AND CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE OR DEATH TO THE PASSENGER. I DRIVE FOR LIFT AND REPORTED TO THEM ON 7/27/16 THAT I CAN NO LONGER RIDE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT, THEREFORE THEY NEED TO REDUCE MY PASSENGER CAPACITY FROM 4 TO 3. LYFT DEACTIVATED MY DRIVING PRIVILEGES ON 8/5/16 STATING ALL DRIVERS MUST BE ABLE TO CARRY 4 OR 6 PASSENGERS. I WAS APPROVED A CLASSIC DRIVER WHICH CARRIES 4 PASSENGERS). I CONTACTED LEXUS AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD LOOK INTO GETTING ME A RENTAL. HOWEVER, WHEN I HEARD BACK FROM THEM ON THURSDAY 8/12/16 FOR THE 2ND TIME INFORMING ME THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO SECURE A RENTAL VEHICLE AND THAT NO CAR RENTAL CO. WILL RENT A VEHICLE TO BE USED AS A TAXI AND THAT THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. THE REPRESENTATIVE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME LOSS WAGES. SO FAR I AM OUT OF 7 DAYS PAY. LIFT PROVIDE ME THE ADDITIONAL INCOME I NEED FOR MY COST OF LIVING AS I LIVE ALONE. THE LOSS OF INCOME HAVE ALREADY CAUSED ME FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. MY ESTIMATED MONTHLY EARNINGS HAVE BEEN BETWEEN $800.00 & $1300.00+ SINCE I STARTED DRIVING FOR LYFT.

TAKATA RECALL - I AM LOCATED IN ZONE A AND MY VEHICLE IS LISTED IN THE PHASE 1 RECALL WHICH WAS TO BEGIN IN MAY 2016. AS OF YESTERDAY, AUGUST 9, 2016, MY LOCAL LEXUS SERVICE CENTER STILL HAS NOT RECEIVED THE CORRECTIVE MATERIALS, NOR CAN THEY TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THEM. I FREQUENTLY HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF MY CAR, INCLUDING MY ADULT SON. THIS DELAY IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WANT LEXUS TO PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE, THAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS TAKATA AIRBAG PROBLEM, UNTIL MY CAR CAN BE REPAIRED. HOW DO I OBTAIN A LOANER VEHICLE? I LOOK FORWARD TO RECEIVING YOUR RESPONSE. THANK YOU. BEST REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL -- LEXUS ADVISED IN PERSON, AND VIA PHONE, IT IS DANGEROUS AND NOT RECOMMENDED FOR A PASSENGER TO OCCUPY THE PASSENGER SEAT WHICH WILL ACTIVATE THE AIR BAG AND CREATE AN UNSAFE CONDITION. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO OPERATE MY VEHICLE FOR PERSONAL AND BUSINESS USE, WHILE HAVING 4 PEOPLE IN THE CAR WITH MY FAMILY AND THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND LEXUS SHOULD PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION TO ME AT NO COST SINCE I CANNOT SAFELY OPERATE MY VEHICLE WITH MY FAMILY IN IT.

TAKATA RECALL NOTIFIED DEFAULT AIRBAG INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE THAT CAN DO BODILY HARM I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH WITH HOPE THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAND NAME OF THIS VEHICLE. THE PRICE AND SUPPOSE QUALITY OF THE LEXUS ES350 SHOULDN'T HAVE SUCH PROBLEMS I'AM DISAPPOINTED WITH THE MANUFACTURE
