TAKATA RECALL. LEXUS SENT OUT LETTER EARLIER THIS YEAR AND PUT ME IN THE FIRST ROUND OF "PRIORITY" RECALL REPLACEMENT GROUP. LETTER ALSO STATES THAT RECALL WOULD BE DONE BY THE END OF 2016 FOR MY GROUP. THUS FAR I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM LEXUS, AND WHEN I REACHED OUT THEY SAID REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SEAT ANYONE IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHICH IS CAUSING A LOT OF INCONVENIENCE TO MY DAILY LIFE.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR AN AIRBAG SINCE MAY. THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS OK TO DRIVE JUST BE VERY CAREFUL AND NOONE SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WE ARE A FAMILY OF 4. MY HUSBAND DRIVES A 2 SEATER JEEP. WE HAVE HAD TO GO OUT OF TOWN TWICE AND DRIVE SEPARATE VEHICLES AND SEPARATE VEHICLES IN TOWN. IT'S RIDICULOUS AND NOONE CAN TELL ME WHEN A REPLACEMENT WILL BE AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL-PASSENGER AIRBAG. WHEN WILL THE PARTS BE AVAILABLE? I HAVE BEEN WAITING MORE THAN 6 MONTHS. I CALLED LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THE PARENT COMPANY ONCE TO QUESTION WHEN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD IT IS NOT IN THEIR CONTROL. THE LAST TIME I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH WAS NOT HELPFUL. ALL 3 CALLS WERE FRUITLESS. I TRAVEL A LOT AND PASSENGERS HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK. I NEED THE CAR FIXED SO I CAN SELL IT AND PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE-NOT A LEXUS! NOR ONE WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS.
