CALLED LEXUS STEVENS CREEK (408-330-3000)FOR SERVICE. ALWAYS TOOK THEM FEW WEEKS TO MAKE AN APPT. ONE APPT WAS MADE IN MAY BUT WE WERE LATE SO DIDNT MAKE IT. I MADE ANOTHER APPT IN THE MIDDLE OF MAY AND GOT SCHEDULED AN APPT 0N 6/3/17. NOW THEY TOLD US THE APPT WILL BE CANCELLED DUE TO NO PART AVAILABLE. I ASKED WHAT WILL BE THE TIME FRAME, THEY SAID AT LEAST FEW MORE WEEKS N THEY WILL CALL US, MEANS IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER FEW MORE WEEKS FOR THEM TO MAKE AN APPT FOR US. I ALSO ASKED THEM IF OTHER LEXUS DEALERS HAVE THE AVAILABLE PART, THEY SAID I HAD TO CHECK IT ON MY OWN...IT SEEMS THEY DON'T REALLY CARE FOR OUR SAFETY EVEN THOUGH IN THE RECALL LETTER, IT SAID ITS NOT SAFE FOR US TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WHAT SHOULD WE DO? PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU.
