2008 LEXUS IS Complaints

PLUG FOR KNEE AIRBAG BECOMES LOOSE AND TRIGGERS AIRBAG LIGHT. BASED ON DEALER FEEDBACK THIS IS A WIRE HARNESS PLUG ISSUE AND WILL CAUSE THE KNEE AIRBAG TO NOT INFLATE. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN CAUSE BY A POSSIBLE DESIGN/MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

TAKATA RECALL. MY RECALL NOTICE IS DATED MAY 23, 2016. I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN OFFICIAL RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL. THE RECALL STATUS IS STILL LISTED AS "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." I HAVE CALLED THE WESTSIDE LEXUS SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN HOUSTON, TEXAS NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I LEARNED OF THE RECALL. EACH TIME, I WAS ADVISED THAT THE REMEDY IS NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THEY HAVE A REMEDY AVAILABLE. I FIRST LEARNED OF THE RECALL NOTICE ON JUNE 29, 2016.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LEXUS IS F. THE CONTACT STATES THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN MAY 2016. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE GIVEN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. UPDATED 10/13/16*LJ UPDATED 08/15/2017*JS

TAKATA RECALL I WOULD LIKE TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE LENGTH OF TIME FOR ME TO BE NOTIFIED THAT MY CAR IS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL ( AUGUST 2016) AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO TIME LINE FOR A FIX. THE RECOMMENDED WORK AROUND IS TO NOT HAVE SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A RIDICULOUS OPTION.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY LEXUS IS350 IS MELTING. THE DASHBOARD IS NOW SHINY AND STICKY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LEXUS IS 350. 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. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I TOOK MY 2008 LEXUS IS250 TO THE DEALER ON 7/29/16 FOR A RECALL ISSUE THAT IT HAD I WAS TOLD MY CAR HAD A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM MY MOTOR I WAS TOLD IT THE VVT CAM GEARS I WAS QUOTED $3,000 TO DO THIS JOB ON MY CAR . I KONW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS FOR THE LEXUS IS350 (13V-395) I WANTED NOW WHY THEY HAVE A SAFETY RECALL FOR ONLY THE IS350 AND NOT THE IS250 AS WELL ITS THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE.

RECEIVED NOTICE FROM LEXUS THAT UNTIL A REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE THAT I DO NOT OPERATE THE CAR WITH A FRONT PASSENGER. FURTHERMORE, THAT IF I FEEL THAT LEXUS HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT IN A REASONABLE TIME, TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME IN THIS CASE IS, IN MY OPINION, IMMEDIATE. HENCE, THE REASON AND PURPOSE OF THIS COMPLAINT. THERE HAS BEEN NO PROBLEM THUS FAR.

RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL WITH NO REMEDY, TELLING ME NOT TO OPERATE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH 3 CHILDREN AND THIS IS ONLY CAR. THEY NEED TO PROVIDE ME A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THEY HAVE A REMEDY. I NEED IMMEDIATE SOLUTION

TAKATA RECALL. UNTIL REMEDY IS AVAILABLE DON'T OPERATE VEHICLE W PASSENGER!?!? WITH ESTIMATES OF A FIX NOT BEING AVAILABLE UNTIL AT THE LATEST POSSIBLY 2019!! HOW IS THIS FAIR TO THE CONSUMER. THIS FORCES US TO EITHER A) PUT LIVES IN JEOPARDY B) SELL MY CAR AT A LOSS.
