2008 LEXUS IS Complaints

TAKATA RECALL - IT IS TAKING TOO LONG FOR A REMEDY. I HAVE HAD TO USE ANOTHER CAR FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. A FIX WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE THIS MONTH. HOW WILL I BE COMPENSATED FOR EXPENSES, MILEAGE, AND/OR WEAR & TEAR ON THE OTHER VEHICLE?

TAKATA RECALL. WE WERE TOLD BY LEXUS 8 MONTHS AGO NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE TO DRIVE IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT. SINCE WE ALWAYS RIDE TOGETHER WE CAN NO LONGER USE THE CAR. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE THAT WE BOUGHT A CAR THIS EXPENSIVE WE CAN NO LONGER USE.

TAKATA RECALL I AM IN ZONE B AND MY CAR IS APPROACHING ITS TEN YEAR MARK. I TOOK MY CAR IN TODAY AND ASKED THE SALES ASSISTANT IF THERE WERE ANY UPDATES ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL AND HE TOLD ME, "NO". WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO SAVE ME IN AN ACCIDENT CAN NOW KILL ME. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE AMOUNT OF TIME THIS HAS TAKEN AND THE RESPONSE TO CONSUMER CONCERN. PLEASE PUT PRESSURE ON TOYOTA AND TAKATA TO FIX OUR AIRBAGS.

IN AUGUST 2012 MY CAR'S ENGINE LIGHT AND VSC LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND MULTIPLE MISFIRES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE GASKET AND 3 PISTONS AND RING SETS UNDER WARRANTY. MY CAR ENGINE HAS CONTINUED TO INTERMITTENTLY SHUDDER WHEN MOVING AND WHEN IDLING AT STOP LIGHTS. TODAY (1/3/17) I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED AND ONCE AGAIN MY ENGINE LIGHT AND VSC LIGHT ARE LIT UP. I RECEIVED THE 9 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CARBON BUILDUP, BUT IT ONLY COVERS ME THROUGH 3/8/17. IF I HAVE CARBON BUILDUP AGAIN AFTER THAT, IT WILL COST ME $2,000-$3,000 TO FIX. THE ENGINE FAILURE IN THESE IS250S (2006-2013) IS RAMPANT AND THE CAR MODEL NEEDS TO RECALLED AND REPLACED. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. LEXUS SENT OUT LETTER EARLIER THIS YEAR AND PUT ME IN THE FIRST ROUND OF "PRIORITY" RECALL REPLACEMENT GROUP. LETTER ALSO STATES THAT RECALL WOULD BE DONE BY THE END OF 2016 FOR MY GROUP. THUS FAR I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM LEXUS, AND WHEN I REACHED OUT THEY SAID REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SEAT ANYONE IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHICH IS CAUSING A LOT OF INCONVENIENCE TO MY DAILY LIFE.
