2010 LEXUS IS Complaints

TAKATA RECALL; I WANT THIS TAKEN CARE OF! I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL BECAUSE I WENT TO TRADE MY CAR IN FOR A NEW ONE. I CANNOT AFFORD THE NEW ONE NOW, BUT I DRIVE MY GRANDCHILDREN AROUND EVERY DAY. NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS AND I AM LIVID. I HAVE MY OIL CHANGED EVERY 5,000 MILES AT THE LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP SO MY INFORMATION IS DEFINITELY ON FILE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FOR LEXUS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS??? THE LAWSUITS YOU WILL BE PAYING FOR WILL BE FAR GREATER THAN IF THEY JUST HIRE EXTRA PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THESE CARS.

THESE THREE ITEMS ARE LISTED AS RE CALL HOWEVER NO ONE HAS CONTACTED THE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE WHERE CAN WE GET THESE FIXED WE LIVE IN BETHANY BEACH DELAWARE 19930 PHONE # [XXX] OR EMAIL. [XXX] THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL. RECENTLY FINANCED A 2010 LEXUS IS250 IN DEC 2015. SHORTLY AFTER I CAN'T RECALL EXACTLY WHEN I NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS LIT ON, BUT I NEVER PAID MUCH ATTENTION BECAUSE I ASSUMED THAT IT WAS LIT BECAUSE IT MEANT WORKING ACTIVE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AND IS SHOWING DEFECTIVE. THIS HAS BEEN AND STILL IS A BIG CONCERN FOR MANY OWNERS FOR A SAFETY AND DEADLY REASONS. I AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW FOR FEAR. I ALSO DO NOT NOT HAVE THE POSSIBLE QUOTED OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR $3,000+ TO FIX THIS SAFETY DEFAULT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN LEXUS/TOYOTA FOR NOT HAVING THESE DEFECTIVE NON SAFE AIRBAGS ON RECALL.

DRIVING ON FREEWAY, THE ENGINE HAD NO POWER, AND GIVING GAS TO TRY TO PICK UP SPEED HAD NO EFFECT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME "ON", THEN EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL CONDITION. ALL THESE THINGS HAPPENED WITHIN 2-5 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SO FAR. TWO TIMES IN FEBRUARY, 2016, ONE TIME IN MARCH 9, 2016. THE CAR HAS 22K MILES NOW.

LEXUS CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE AIRBAG EXPLOSION DURING ACCIDENT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HIS WIFE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE WHICH REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER'S WIFE STATED THE EXPLOSION OF THE AIR BAG AND FLYING DEBRIS CAUSED MORE INJURIES THAN THE ACCIDENT ITSELF. *JB

THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT IS PERMANENTLY ON ON THE DASHBOARD THAT INDICATES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS OFF. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! ALTHOUGH LEXUS HAS REALIZED THIS IS AN ISSUE, THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEIR DESIGN FLAWS AND CHARGING AN EXORBITANT PRICE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL SINCE APPARENTLY THIS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AMONGST ALL OF THESE MODELS ESPECIALLY AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.

CAR WENT HEAD ON INTO TELEPHONE POLE. CAR WAS TOTALED. SEVERE FRONT END DAMAGE. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY..... UPDATED 06/30/15 *BF

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN 2010 I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING "RAW FUEL" SMELL AND "CATALYTIC CONVERTER" SMELL OCCASIONALLY. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOST OFTEN WHEN A SMALL HILL IS CLIMBED AND WHEN GOING DOWN SUBSEQUENTLY. I MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES BUT THEY SAID IT WAS THE WIND! I NEVER HAD THESE STRONG SMELLS WITH ANY OTHER CAR THAT I OWNED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LEXUS IS 250C. WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE AND USING THE BACKUP CAMERA, VISIBILITY WAS POOR AND THE CAMERA FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. UPDATED 10/29/14*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 LEXUS IS 250. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT SWERVED TO AVOID A CRASH FROM AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, ANOTHER VEHICLE REAR ENDED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE IMPACT DID NOT MEET THE SPECIFICATIONS THAT WOULD WARRANT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS CRASHED INTO FROM THE REAR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
