VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WE RECEIVED A NOTICE BY MAIL THAT THE AIRBAGS IN OUR VEHICLE WAS BEING RECALLED AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING REPAIR WOULD BE FORTHCOMING. THE NOTICE WAS RECEIVED MAY 2016, ALMOST A YEAR AGO AND NO FURTHER NOTICE HAS BEEN RECEIVED. THE ONLY RECOMMENDATION FROM LEXUS WAS TO NOT HAVE ANYBODY SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHICH MEANS NOT HAVING FULL USE OF MY OWN VEHICLE. THIS DELAY IN TAKING ACTION IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I WENT TO LEXUS DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT CAR AND THEY DID NOT OFFER TO REPLACE AIRBAG. MY SON DRIVES THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL- ORIGINAL RECALL MAY, 2016. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, PARTS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. WHEN CAN I EXPECT MY CAR TO BE REPAIRED?

CRACKING AND MELTING DASHBOARD CREATING NOXIOUS FUMES IN VEHICLE. IN LATE 2015, WE NOTICED THAT OUR LEXUS RX400H'S DASHBOARD BEGAN FORMING CRACKS. WHILE WE INITIALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS A COSMETIC ISSUE, SOON THE DASHBOARD BEGAN MELTING AND STINKING UP THE CAR. WHEN WE BROUGHT IT TO OUR LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP FOR INVESTIGATION (LEXUS OF KENDALL), WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM RECENTLY LAUNCHED TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS. WE WERE PLACED ON THE WAITING LIST TO GET A NEW DASHBOARD AND WERE TOLD WE WERE #1 IN FEBRUARY 2016. WE HAVE SOMEHOW MOVED TO #2 ON THEIR LIST AND HAVE SEEN NO PROGRESS ON LEXUS REPLACING OUR DASHBOARD. ADDITIONALLY, IF YOU CALL THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AND ASK TO ORDER ONE THEY CLAIM IT WILL ARRIVE IN 5-7 BUSINESS DAYS. THAT SEEMS UNFAIR. SINCE THE INITIAL OBSERVATION, THE SMELL OF THE CRACKED/MELTED DASH HAS BECOME OVERWHELMING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S HOT OUT. WE ARE HESITANT TO DRIVE OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THESE FUMES.

TAMARA RECALL I'M TRYING TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE AIRBAG INFLATOR. I GUESS THERE WAS A DEADLINE OF MARCH 25 2017. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THAT.

THERE ARE 2 RECALLS THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SERVCO LEXUS OAHU HAVE TO BE DONE AT A DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM IS I LIVE ON THE BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII AND THERE IS NOT A DEALERSHIP ON THIS ISLAND SO I WAS TOLD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SHIPPING OF MY VEHICLE TO THE THE DEALERSHIP ON THE OTHER ISLANDS, EITHER MAUI, OR OAHU. I HAVE ARGUED WITH THEM SAYING IT IS THERE RESPONCIBILITY TO FIX THE CAR AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR THEM FIX THEIR MESS. I WAS TOLD BY AN ASSISTANT MANAGER AT SERVCO LEXUS OAHU, THAT IF I READ MY OWNERS MANUAL I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS.DO YOU KNOW OF ANYONE WHO HAS READ THEIR OWNERS MANUAL FRONT TO BACK BEFORE THEY BOUGHT A CAR, NEW OR USED, WHAT IF SOMEONE BUYS A USED CAR AND THERE IS NOT A MANUAL IN THE CAR?HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT ALL AUTOMANUFACTURERS STATE THAT IN THERE MAUALS SO I READ MY CHEVY TRUCK AND MY CORVETTE MANUAL AND IT SAYS "CHEVROLET WILL REPAIR ALL FACTORY RECALLS WITHIN 30 DAYS AND IF THEY CANNOT THEY WILL FIND A REPAIR SHOP TO DO THE WORK AND WORSE CASE SCENARIO THEY WILL SEND PARTS TO THE CUSTOMER." I READ THE MANUAL FROM LEXUS BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING SAYING I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING COSTS FOR THEM TO FIX THEIR MESS, IT MIGHT BE IN THERE BUT I COULDN'T FIND IT. ANYWAYS THESE RECALL ARE FROM 2010 AND HAVEN'T BEEN FIXED, THERE IS A RECALL ON THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELS AND DASHBOARD I HAVE BEEN WAITING ON FOR 15 MONTHS, I WAS TOLD THAT IT SHOULD TAKE 8-12 MO., STILL WAITING, I CAN'T EVEN SELL THE CAR WITHOUT TAKING AT LEAST A$2000.00 LOSS, IF L WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WAS GOING TO TAKE THIS LONG AND THAT I WAS GOING TO GET SUCH A HASSLE AND DISRESPECT FROM THE COMPANY OF LEXUS I WOULD OF NEVER BOUGHT THIS FROM MY FRIEND IN THE FIRST PLACE.THIS IS NOT HOW THE AMERICAN AUTOMANUFACTURERS DO BUSINESS, I WILL NEVER BUY A JAPANESE CAR EVER AGAIN. IF THEY CAN'T CONDUCT BUSINESS LIKE THE BIG BOYS DO THEN THEY SHOULDN'T DO ANY BUSINESS.
