2007 LEXUS ES350 Complaints

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL NO. 16V-340 ON JUNE 9,2016 STATING THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS PRODUCED BY TAKATA CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH AND NOT TO DRIVE WITH A PASSANGER IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT. TODAY IS SEPT 10, 2016. 90 DAYS AND NOT A WORD FROM LEXUS REGARDING THIS RECALL. WHAT'S UP?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS ES350. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TAKATA RECALL. WE RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO WARNING THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS RECALLED AND IT WAS NOT SAFE TO HAVE SOMEONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WE ARE A FAMILY OF 5 AND NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT TO GO ANYWHERE. DESPITE REPEATED CALLS TO LEXUS, NO REPLACEMENT AIRBAG HAS BEEN PROVIDED. THE CAR IS EFFECTIVELY USELESS TO US BECAUSE WE CANNOT GO ANYWHERE TOGETHER. LEXUS SAYS THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE AIRBAG UNTIL WE GET YET A 3RD NOTICE IN THE MAIL. WE CANNOT EVEN USE OUR CAR!

TAKATA RECALL; THIS RECALL WAS MADE MAY 23, 2016. TODAY IS SEPTEMBER 2, 2016. I LIVE ON THE GULF COAST OF TEXAS WHERE THE TEMPERATURE OFTEN EXCEEDS 95 DEGREES AND HUMIDITY IS EXTREMELY HIGH. THE MANUFACTURE "STILL DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY FOR THIS DEFECT". IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS, AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTS THAT PASSENGERS SHOULD NOT RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE!! THIS IS A RIDICULOUS STATEMENT, AND MAKES THE VEHICLE UNUSABLE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED. NHTSB SHOULD DEMAND THAT LEXUS PROVIDE AN IMMEDIATE REMEDY TO THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION OR THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ME WITH AN ALTERNATIVE VEHICLE AT THEIR EXPENSE UNTIL THEY REMEDY THE DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE. TO SUGGEST MY VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF CARRYING PASSENGERS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THESE AIRBAG DEFECTS FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND STILL DO NOT HAVE REMEDIES. LEXUS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A SAFE AND SERVICEABLE VEHICLE NOW OR REFUND ME THE PURCHASE PRICE OF MY VEHICLE SO I CAN OBTAIN A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY PASSENGERS AND MYSELF. THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME RESOLVE THIS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

LEXUS ADVISES ME NOT TO USE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT MORE THAN A MONTH AGO. THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF WHEN THEY CAN FIX IT. SO I AM LEFT WITH A PARTIALLY USABLE CAR FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WITH NO END IN SIGHT

TAKATA RECALL ALTHOUGH IT IS ABOUT 4 MONTH SINCE THIS RECALL AND ISSUE WAS REPORTED THERE IS NO WORDS YET WHEN THIS ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED. WE ARE A FAMILY OF 5 AND HAVE TO USE THE FRONT SEAT, BUT ACCORDING TO THE LETTER WE HAVE RECEIVED IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO SIT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON A FEW DAYS AGO. PLEASE, ADVISE.

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.
