2010 LEXUS IS Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LEXUS IS 250. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

I HAVE CONTACTED THE LEXUS SERVICE CENTER FOR WOODLAND HILLS, CA DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT BACK IN JUNE 2017. UP TO THIS DATE, AUGUST 21,2017, THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE FOR MY CAR. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WILL CALL ME BACK WHEN THE PART IS AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE PARTS TO BE ORDERED? IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE TO USE MY CAR. IF SOMETHING HAPPEN TO ME OR MY FAMILY, THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR YOUR COMPANY.

TAKATA INFLATORS. I HAD MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER RECEIVING SEVERAL NOTICES OF THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP I WOULD BE PLACED ON WAITING LIST FOR THE RECALL PARTS. THAT HAS BEEN MONTHS AGO. I CALLED TODAY TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECALL WAIT LIST AND I WAS TOLD THEY ARE NOT WORKING ON THE CONVERTIBLES. I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT. I ASKED IF I WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SHE SAID THEY HAVE HAD NO ISSUES OR COMPLAINTS WITH THE PASS SEAT. I AM A REALTOR AND USE MY CAR EVERYDAY FOR WORK WITH PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT PASS SEAT. ANY IDEA HOW LONG THIS RECALL REPAIR WILL TAKE? I DO T WANT ME CLIENTS TO BE UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU
