TAKATA RECALL SINCE THE CAR IS NOT USEABLE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED (A 5-PASSENGER CAR), I AM ASKING FOR COMPENSATION FROM LEXUS OR TAKATA, AS THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THE REPAIR CAN BE MADE IN ANY TIME FRAME. IT COULD BE YEARS BEFORE THE REPAIR IS MADE, THEREBY MEANING THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE. LEXUS OR TAKATA SHOULD PROVIDE MONETARY COMPENSATION TO MAKE UP FOR THIS. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT WE CANNOT USE THE VEHICLE, AND THE RECALL NOTICE WAS COMPLETELY USELESS, BASICALLY SAYING "DON'T USE YOUR CAR" (FOR WHICH WE PAID TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS). IT IS CALLING IT AN "INCONVENIENCE" WHICH IS NOT ACCURATE. THE ISSUE OF THE AIR BAGS HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND LEXUS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ON A REMEDY. I AM HOPING THAT NHTSA CAN ASSIST IN THIS MATTER. THANK YOU.

NO REMEDIES YET AND LEXUS DOESN'T HAVE A CONFIRMED DATE ABOUT WHEN THIS ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED.

THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES IT'S THE LEFT HEADLIGHT AND SOMETIMES IT'S THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT AND OTHER TIMES IT'S BOTH HEADLIGHTS. IT HAPPENS AT NIGHT AND DURING THE DAY. NO WARNING NO INDICATION ONLY THAT THE ROAD GOES BLACK. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING IT HAPPENS SUMMERTIME AND WINTER TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEM ON IS TO TURN THEM OFF AND ON. THE PROBLEM OCCURS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS IN THE ON OR AUTO POSITION. PROBLEM IS CONTINUAL.
