2006 LEXUS IS 250 Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LEXUS IS 250. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 LEXUS IS 250. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WITHOUT STOPPING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THAT OTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DEEMED DESTROYED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE LIGHT APPEARED THE POWER STEERING WENT AWAY. THE GARAGE NOTIFIED ME THAT MY POWER STEERING ECU HAD FAILED. I HAD THE ECU REPLACED AND STEERING CALIBRATED A FEW DAYS LATER AS I TURNED IN TO MY SCHOOLS PARKING LOT I HEARD A POP BUT WAS NOT VERY ALARMED ABOUT IT UNTIL THAT AFTERNOON I WAS HEADED HOME AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK IN ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER AS I WOULD TURN SLIGHTLY FOR A CURVE. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD UNLOCK BUT WOULD TAKE BOTH HANDS AND A FIRM TUG TO GET BACK STRAIGHT. THE OTHER MORNING I WAS GOING TO DRIVE IT TO CLASS SINCE THIS IS MY ONLY WAY OF TRANSPORTATION BUT THE STEERING WAS COMPLETELY STUCK IN PLACE SO I HAD TO CALL ANOTHER RIDE. IF THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING SLOW THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A HORRIFIC WHINING NOISE AS YOU TURN. I THINK THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE I CALLED LEXUS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE HOPING TO GET HELP SINCE THERE WAS ALREADY ONE RECALL COMPLETED ON THESE PARTS. LEXUS CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THEY HAD TO INSPECT IT BEFORE THEY COULD DO ANYTHING. THEY PAID FOR THE INSPECTION AND ADMITTED THE PART REPLACED BY THEM PREVIOUSLY HAD FAILED AGAIN BUT WOULD NOT BE COVERED AGAIN. THEY THEN QUOTED ME A PRICE OF AROUND 3,600 DOLLARS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH MULTIPLE CASE MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS THEY TOLD ME THE CASE WAS RESOLVED ON THEIR END AND I NEEDED TO CONTACT THE NATIONAL DISPUTE SETTLEMENT. I DID CONTACT THEM AND WILL ALSO SUBMIT THE PAPER I SENT THEM TO YOU GUYS. MANY PEOPLE ARE TALKING IN ONLINE FORUMS ARE HAVING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUES. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

TAKATA RECALL NO COMMUNICATION SINCE FIRST QUARTER 2016 GENERAL RECALL NOTICE. NOTHING. MY CAR IS ZONE A HOUSTON TEXAS 2006 MODEL YEAR. MANUFACTURER LEXUS GETS AN "F" GRADE FOR NOT TELLING ME WHEN OR HOW MY CAR WILL BE FIXED FOR A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP AND CANNOT GET ANY HELP WITH THE TAKATA RECALL, DOOR PANEL RECALLS, AND ANY OTHER RECALL ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR THE LAST YEAR AND HALF.

REAR VIEW MIRROR ON MY 2006 IS250 LEXUS HAS "STREAKS AND SPLOTCHES" WHICH CREATE BLIND SPOTS - A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT OUR VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, BUT ADMITTED THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET CONFIRMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. REPLACING THE MIRROR AT A DEALERSHIP IS EXPENSIVE, AND GIVEN THAT IT IS LIKELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REMEDY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.
