2008 LEXUS ES350 Complaints

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS BEING DISABLED BY A DEFECTIVE SENSOR IN THE SEAT AND LEXUS IS INFORMING CUSTOMERS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEREFORE, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS ESSENTIALLY PERMANENTLY DISABLED. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN SINCE ANY PERSON TRAVELING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WILL NO LONGER HAVE A WORKING AIRBAG.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LEXUS ES350. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED NORTH PARK LEXUS OF SAN ANTONIO AT (210) 308-8900 (611 LOCKHILL SELMA RD, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78216) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE TRUNK WILL NOT CLOSE AFTER OPENING. I HAVE TO SLAM IT SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT FINALLY CLOSE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTACT THE DEALER. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER 5 OR 6 TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS, AND EACH TIME THEY TELL ME NO ONE IS AVAILABLE TO TALK TO ME AND THEY SEND ME TO VOICE MAIL TO LEAVE A MESSAGE. I HAVE DONE THAT BUT NO ONE HAS EVER CALLED ME BACK ABOUT THIS. THE DEALER IS PLAZA LEXUS IN CREVE COUER, MISSOURI.

BOUGHT THIS LEXUS IN 03/12/12. IT IS USED. THERE HAS BEEN MOISTURE IN THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING. THIS IS NOT A LITTLE MOISTURE, IT IS VERY EXCESSIVE. WE CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE MOISTURE CAUSES VERY DIM LIGHT WHICH WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. MY HUSBAND TALKED TO A SARAH AS CASE MANAGER AT CORPORATE, MARKET MANAGER FOR SERVICES, VAL KRAMER, WARRANTY COORDINATOR AND EACH OF THEM SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING TO HELP US. LEXUS SEND US A LETTER AND TOLD US THEY KNOW THAT THE HEADLIGHT IS NOT COMPLETELY SEALED. WOULD YOU PLEASE HELP. LEXUS SHOULD FIX THIS WITH NO EXPENSE. THANK YOU COR YOUR BELL

MY DASH BOARD IS BAD N CAUSING VERY BAD VISION TO DRIVE.LEXUS STATE THEY ARE NOT GOING TO COVER THIS AT THIS POINT DUE TO MISSING THE DEAD LINE.I PURSCHASE THIS VEHICLE USED N KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM UNTIL INFORMED BY LEXUS SERVICE.
