2007 LEXUS ES Complaints

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, THIS IS A HIGH RISK TO THE POTENTIALLY INJURY OF MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS. TIME FRAME TO RESOLVE THIS HAS BEEN UNACCEPTABLE. AIRBAG LIGHT IS CURRENLTY ON

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING CRACKING AND COMING APART, WE NOTICED THE PROBLEM IN JULY, AUGUST 2017, DID NOT KNOW IT WAS KNOWN PROBLEM TO LEXUS. IN DECEMBER 2017 I GOGGLED HOW TO REPAIR MELTING DASH AND FOUND OUT THIS WAS A PROBLEM THAT LEXUS WAS AWARE OF, WE BOUGHT THE LEXUS ES350 NEW IN 2007 AND ARE ORIGINAL OWNERS, LEXUS NOTIFIED US ABOUT THE AIR BAG RECALL BUT NEVER NOTIFIED US ABOUT THE MELTING DASH PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE AIR BAGS IN 2017 WHEN THE DASH WAS MELTING AND DID NOT SAY ANYTHING. NOW WHEN I CALLED THEM THEY SAID SORRY, THE WARRANTY PERIOD ENDED MAY 31 2017. THEY NEED TO REPLACE OWNER DASH BOARD NOW

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS ES350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (HENDRICK TOYOTA NORTH CHARLESTON, 7151 RIVERS AVENUE, NORTH CHARLESTON, SC 29406) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ECU FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE PART DID NOT CALIBRATE WITH THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE. THE LOCAL DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PARTS WERE NO LONGER AVAILABLE DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INSTRUCTED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND CONFIRMED THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,379.

MELTING DASHBOARD. SUN REFLEXTING OFF MAKING VISIBILTY 0 VERY DANGEROUS TO SEE ROAD. I HAVE NOTIFIED LEXUS THEY TOLD THE REPAIR DATE EXPIRED5/31/ 17, I RECIEVED NOTIFICATION NO NOTIFICATION OF THIS REPAIR NOTICE. I DONT KNOW WHEN IT WAS MAILED OUT BUT IT SEEMS OWNERS MUST ONLY GOTTEN A 6 MOTHS NOTICE. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS WHO THEY CARRIED THERE CARS IN FOR REPAIRS AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED BEFORE THEY COULD GET THE REPAIRS.

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.
