2008 LEXUS IS 250 Complaints

TAKATA INFLATORS - MY VEHICLE HAS AN OPEN RECALL WITH NO KNOWN FIX. SO I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT NOW HOLDS NO VALUE AND THAT I CAN NOT SELL. IT'S WORTH LESS THAN OWE. HOW CAN YOU HAVE A RECALL WITH NO KNOWN FIX? THAT IS UNFAIR TO THE CONSUMER AND DOESN'T SAY GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE LEXUS NAME. I WON'T BUY ANOTHER LEXUS EVER AGAIN!

I CONTACTED LEXUS OF SAVANNAH, GA. ABOUT MY DASH AND DOOR PANELS WERE DISSOLVING/DISINTEGRATING AND TOLD THAT BOTH ITEMS ARE ON A RECALL LIST AND THAT I WOULD BE PUT ON A RECALL LIST TO BE PUT ON THEIR LIST TO BE REPAIRED, THAT WAS IN DEC. 2014. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH LEXUS OF SAVANNAH, GA. AND COOPERATE HEADQUARTERS NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN IT WOULD BE REPAIRED, LAST CALL TO THE HEADQUARTERS WAS YESTERDAY AND WAS TOLD THE SAME. THE GLARE FROM THE DASH HAS BECOME SO DANGEROUS THAT I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL HAVE A WRECK AND BE INJURED OR KILLED FROM THIS PROBLEM. MY CAR IS A 2008 IS250 LEXUS. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT IF THERE IS ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN SPEED UP THEIR REPAIR ON MY CAR. EVEN THOUGH IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE. I AM SENDING DOCUMENTATION AND CAN SEND IF NECESSARY.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE SECOND DAY I BOUGHT MY CAR IT HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY ENGINE/MOTOR NOT LONG AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR. I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR AND NEW MOTOR. IT RUNS HOT AND I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO 6 DIFFERENT MECHANIC AS WELL AS TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND I HAVE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A LOT OF THINGS. I ALSO WENT ON LEXUS.COM AND FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR IS A LEMON BUY BACK AND WAS NEVER TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM OR THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP IN BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA THAT IT WAS A LEMON. I HAD TO FUND OUT ON MY OWN. IT VERY WRONG THAT I BOUGHT A CAR AND NOT TOLD MY ANYONE HOW THE CAR IS A LEMON. *TR
