2011 LEXUS IS Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. THIS RECALL IS TAKING TOO LONG AND THERE IS NO RESOLUTION DATE PROPOSED. I AM TRYING TO TRADE-IN OR SELL MY VEHICLE AND RECEIVE OFFERS $4000 OR MORE LESS THEN KBB VALUE. I DON'T WANT TO USE THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. THE REAR SEATS ARE NOT CONVENIENT IN THE IS250C MODEL AS IT IS A TWO DOOR AND THE REAR SEATS OFFER A CRAMPED SPACE FOR PASSENGERS.

TAKATA RECALL ACCORDING TO SAFERCAR.GOV, THERE HAS BEEN AN AIRBAG RECALL (#16V340) SINCE 5/23/16 WITH NO REMEDY. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THIS EXPEDITED AS THIS HAS BEEN VERY INCONVENIENT FOR ME? I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE EVERYDAY AS IT IS MY SOLE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION.

TAMARA RECALL. I FEEL THAT THEY ARE DOING NOTHING TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE IN MAY OF 2016 AND IT IS NOW OCTOBER 2016 . WHY DON'T THEY JUST REPLACE THE AIR BAG WITH A DIFFERENT ONE. REMOVE THE DEFECTIVE ONE NOT SEND A NOTICE NOT TO USE YOUR CAR. I HAVE A CHILD AND HE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND IF ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO HIM BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF RESPONSE TO THE RECALL . I WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION ESPECIALLY HEARING ABOUT THE LADY WHO JUST RECENTLY DIED REGARDING THESE AIRBAGS. I KEEP ASKING LEXUS ON WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID NEXT YEAR (2017) SOMETIME. WHY IS IT THAT OUR SAFETY IS NOT A PRIORITY. BUT THEY SURE ARE IN A RUSH TO SELL YOU A CAR. I BOUGHT MY CAR TO USE IT NOT SIT AT HOME TO LOOK PRETTY AND STAY PARKED BECAUSE THAT'S THE ADVICE THEY ARE GIVING US. HOW HARD IS IT TO REPLACE 1 AIRBAG . ACCIDENTS HAPPEN EVERY DAY AND NO ONE KNOWS WHEN THEY WILL BE INVOLVED IN ONE. I WORK REALLY FAR FROM HOME AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR KNOWING THAT AT ANYTIME MY AIRBAG CAR DEPLOY ON ITS OWN OR IN FEAR OF BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WILL CAUSE MY AIR BAG TO DEPLOY.

LEXUS NOTIFIED ME IN MAY 2016 OF A RECALL FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS, BUT HAS NOT TAKEN DEFINITIVE ACTION TO REPLACE MY AIRBAG SO MY CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

TAKATA INFLATORS. THIS IS A ZONE A VEHICLE. LEXUS CLAIMS TO HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE RECALL WILL BE REPAIRED, BUT ADVISES US NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SO, THE CAR IS BASICALLY UNUSABLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IF I CAN JUST HAVE THE AIRBAGS TAKEN OUT. IT IS RIDICULOUS TO NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE PEOPLE IN MY CAR WHILE DRIVING. HOW DO I KNOW IF IT IS SAFE FOR ME TO BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS SOUND LIKE THEY CAN HURT MORE THAN JUST THE PASSENGERS. I FEEL IT IS MY RIGHT TO HAVE THE BAGS TAKEN OUT AND TO DEPEND ON THE TRUSTY SEATBELT. CAN I HAVE THIS DONE AT NO CHARGE TO ME? I ALSO WANT TO KNOW WHY DID THEY USE A DIFFERENT AIRBAG MANUFACTURER FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHY NOT STICK WITH ONE MANUFACTURE. IS THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DEFECTIVE ONLY? I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THINKING THAT A LEXUS WAS A DEPENDABLE CAR AND SAFER THAN MOST. PLEASE HELP ME TO TAKE OUT THE AIRBAG OR AIRBAGS AT NO COST TO MYSELF. I RATHER BE SAFE THAN HAVE THE AIRBAGS. THE AIRBAGS SOUND HIGHLY DANGEROUS TO ANYONE IN THE CAR SHOULD THE AIR BAGS GO OFF BECAUSE OF THE AIR BAG DEGRADING IN TIME TO HEAT ETC.
