TAKATA RECALL. OVER A YEAR TO RECTIFY THE AIR BAG PROBLEM?! COME ON, THIS IS JUST ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! I FIND IT OFFENSIVE THAT LEXUS EVEN SUGGESTS THAT NO ONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED...REALLY?! LEXUS SHOULD COMPENSATE THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR THE ANGUISH AND TIME ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM. ONE OF THE REASONS I BOUGHT A LEXUS IS BECAUSE OF MINIMAL SAFETY CONCERNS...WILL DEFINITELY CONSIDER THIS ISSUE WHEN PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE IN THE FUTURE.

IT IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND SHE HAS A LOT OF COUGH THIS YEAR, CONTACTED LEXUS/TOYOTA AND THEY SAY ARE NOT TOXIC, BUT WE DO NOT BELIEVE THEM, PLEASE FIND CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. WE ASK YOU IF YOU HAVE A LABORATORY WHERE THIS CAR CAN ANALYSE THE AIR INTERIOR, WE FOUND ONE BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE $750 TO DO THE TEST. TOYOTA THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS LEXUS HAS NO CREDIBILITY WITH US, THEY USE PLASTIC COMPOUNDS IN PRODUCTION WITHOUT THE MINIMUM TESTING AND THIS IS THE END RESULT.
