TAKATA RECALL -- I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP NEAREST ME IN SAN FRANCISCO AND NO ONE IS ABLE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE BAG. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP IN DALY CITY SERRAMONTE MULTIPLE TIMES.

MY WIFE HAS TAKEN SUCH GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR AND ALWAYS GOES TO THE DEALER WHEN IT NEEDS WORK, EXCEPT FOR OIL CHANGES WHICH SHE GOES TO GOODYEAR FOR. I HAD GOTTEN TIRED OF THE RECALL FOR THE DASH AND DOOR PANELS RECALL AND THOUGHT SHE HAD WAITED LONG ENOUGH SINCE SHE WAS ON THE LIST AND IT SEEMED THEY WERE TRYING TO "OUT WAIT" US UNTIL THE CAR WAS SOLD OR SOMETHING. WHEN I CALLED LEXUS HEADQUARTERS, THE LADY WAS NICE BUT MENTIONED IT HAD A RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND SAID NO ONE SHOULD SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I AM APPALLED AT THE UNPROFESSIONAL WAY THIS WAS MADE PUBLIC TO US. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NOTICE IN THE MAIL WHICH WE NEVER GOT. I SAT IN THAT SEAT MANY TIMES, AS WELL AS OTHER FRIENDS AND FAMILY. FOR A PROBLEM THIS SERIOUS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN DEATH, I HAVE LOST FAITH IN LEXUS. THEY HAVE BECOME LIKE ALL THE OTHER DEALERSHIPS. I HAD THOUGHT IT WAS THE BEST VEHICLE MADE, PERIOD. NOW THAT HAS CHANGED. WE WERE TOLD TO GET A RENTAL CAR FOR $35 MAXIMUM A DAY. WHAT KIND OF DEAL IS THAT? GET A CRAPPY SMALL RENTAL CAR FOR A YEAR OR MORE AFTER DRIVING A LUXURY VEHICLE? I PERSONALLY HAVE A MUSTANG, AND WHEN WE ARE TIRED OF WAITING OR THEY FIX THE CAR AND IT GETS OLD, I AM GETTING MY WIFE AN AMERICAN CAR TO SUPPORT OUR ECONOMY. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, PERIOD.

TAKATA RECALL - WE ARE IN ZONE A . RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE ADVISING NO PERSON SHOULD SIT IN PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH.. CONTACTED DEALER AND LEXUS (CA) TOLD THE "FIX" WILL LIKELY NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL EARLY 2017. WOULD LIKE TO SELL THE CAR.. BUT CAN'T SELL UNTIL AIRBAG DEFECT IS REPAIRED; WE ARE UNABLE TO USE THE CAR UNTIL THE DEFECT IS REPAIRED...

I HAVE A 2006 LEXUS WHEN I CHECKED THE VIN IT SHOWS A RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG BUT ONLINE ALSO SHOWS IF THE CAR IS 10 YEARS OLDER THE REPAIRS WILL HAVE TO BE MADE BY THE OWNER MEANING I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. .THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ANOTHER THING I NOTICE IS THE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL IS SWEATING SOMETHING AND GETS HAZY AND WET LOOKING WHEN MY NAIL HITS IT IT LEAVES A MARK. I NORMALLY HAVE KIDS IN THE CAR THE AIR BAGS IS A BIG PROBLEM IF NOT FIXED SOON AND IT HITS 2017 I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS.. THE RECALL WAS SOMETIME THIS YEAR PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHMENT IF NOT FIXED I WOULD HAVE TO TRADE IT IN FOR SAFETY

TAKATA RECALL: IT HAS BEEN OVER SIX MONTHS SINCE I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL OF THE AIRBAGS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION.
