2011 LEXUS ES350 Complaints

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT CAST ENOUGH LIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT DRIVING IN DRY WEATHER AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE DRIVING IN THE RAIN. I FIND THAT I AM USING THE HIGH BEAMS MOSTLY FOR NIGHT DRIVING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT ONLY FOR ME, BUT CARS COMING TOWARD ME. COUNTRY ROADS & HIGHWAY.

TAKATA RECALL/NO LEXUS REMEDY AVAILABLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT LEXUS HAD NO PLAN IN PLACE TO HANDLE THE AIR BAG RECALL AND I DID NOT WANT TO BE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A TICKING TIME BOMB, I FELT THAT IT WAS IN MY BEST INTEREST TO TRADE IN/SELL MY LEXUS. I ENDED UP TRADING MY LEXUS INSTEAD OF SELLING IT BECAUSE I HAD TO INFORM ANY PERSPECTIVE BUYER OF THE PENDING RECALL AND WHAT IT ENTAILED. I ENDED UP TRADING FOR A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY SE AND IN DOING SO COST MYSELF APPROXIMATELY $2000.00 TO $2500.00 BECAUSE I DID NOT GET THE TRUE VALUE FOR THE TRADE IN WHICH WAS LISTED BETWEEN $18,000 - $18,500 IN ALL OF THE RECOGNIZED APPRAISAL COMPANIES I CHECKED AND HAD TO SETTLE FOR A $16,000.00 TRADE IN VALUE DUE TO THE RECALL NOTICE STILL AFFECTING MY LEXUS. NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 17V006 RECALL DATE: JANUARY 9, 2017 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: G2G REMEDY: LEXUS IS CURRENTLY PREPARING THE REMEDY FOR THIS CONDITION AND WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. THE REMEDY, WHEN AVAILABLE, WILL CONSIST OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG INFLATOR OR THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE MODEL. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE

"TAKATA RECALL"; IT HAS BEEN 14 MONTHS SINCE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM LEXUS; MAY 2016. NO FURTHER UPDATES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. I LIVE IN THE SW FLORIDA CLIMATE WHICH IS CLASSIFIED AS MOST DANGEROUS FOR POSSIBLE EXPLOSION. WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV STILL LISTS NO SOLUTION YET. THIS NEEDS SOME STRONG GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT

TAKATA RECALL. OVER A YEAR TO RECTIFY THE AIR BAG PROBLEM?! COME ON, THIS IS JUST ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! I FIND IT OFFENSIVE THAT LEXUS EVEN SUGGESTS THAT NO ONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED...REALLY?! LEXUS SHOULD COMPENSATE THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR THE ANGUISH AND TIME ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM. ONE OF THE REASONS I BOUGHT A LEXUS IS BECAUSE OF MINIMAL SAFETY CONCERNS...WILL DEFINITELY CONSIDER THIS ISSUE WHEN PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE IN THE FUTURE.

TAKATA RECALL. IN MAY 2016 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM LEXUS THAT MY AIRBAGS MUST BE REPLACED. IT IS NOW OVER ONE YEAR AND I AM STILL ATTEMPTING TO HAVE THIS ITEM REPLACED.
