2011 LEXUS ES350 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE JUNE 9, 2016. ON OCTOBER 3, 2016 I SPOKE WITH LAURIE WHO ALLEGED THAT I WAS IN ZONE A WHICH WOULD BE AMONG THE FIRST TO BE REPAIRED (ANTICIPATED DATE OF REPAIR THE FIRST OF THE YEAR). I CALLED BACK ON 1-11-17 AND SPOKE WITH JOEL. THE DEALERSHIP HAD NOT REC'D THE PARTS, THEY HAVE NOT HEARD FROM TAKATA. IN THE INTERIM I HAVE BEEN ASKED THAT NO ONE SIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE UNTIL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. I SHOULD CONTINUE PAYING FOR A LUXURY VEHICLE THAT THEY HAVE ASKED NO ONE SIT IN. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT NEITHER LEXUS OR TAKATA INTEND ON REMEDYING THIS DEFECT. I AM OUTRAGED THAT IN ALMOST A YEAR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. YET, LEXUS STILL EXPECTS PAYMENT. AND, TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THEY HAVE PUT, IN WRITING, THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. IN WRITING: HIGH TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY (STATE OF GEORGIA) CAUSE THE ISSUE TO WORSEN. DOES THE NHTSA DEEM THIS APPROPRIATE?

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A LETTER MAY 23, 2016 THAT THE TAKATA AIRBAGS WERE DEFECTIVE AND TO WAIT FOR INSTRUCTIONS. I CALLED LEXUS JULY 19, 2016 AND ASKED WHEN THE REPLACEMENTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE "WE DON'T KNOW" WAS THEIR ANSWER. NHTSA SHOULD HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO TELL TAKATA YOU WILL PUT NO AIR BAGS IN ANY NEW CAR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES UNTIL YOU HAVE FIXED ALL OF THE "TAKATA RECALLS". I NEED A WHOLE CAR WITH MY FAMILY. I WENT TO BUY A NEW CAR (NOT A LEXUS) BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WAS OFFERED LESS MONEY FOR MY TRADE IN BECAUSE OF THE "TAKATA PROBLEM". IF NHTSA DOES NOT HOLD TAKATA'S FEET TO THE FIRE, THEN NHTSA IS PROTECTING TAKATA AND AMERICANS.
