LEXUS Complaints

WHEN I'M DRIVING, THE PHONE CONTACTS ARE GREYED OUT, LOCKING ME FROM ACCESSING THEM TO MAKE A CALL. I CAN MAKE A CALL USING THE VOICE COMMAND, BUT THAT IS LIMITED SINCE I DON'T REMEMBER ALL MY CONTACT NAMES OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. CALLED LEXUS AND THEY SAY THAT IS A SAFETY FEATURE. HOWEVER, IF SCROLLING THROUGH CONTACTS IS A SAFETY THING, THEN WHY CAN I ACCESS MY FAVORITE CONTACTS AND SCROLL THROUGH RECENT CALLS? THIS DISTRACTS THE DRIVER IN MAKING A PHONE CALL BY "ENCOURAGING" HER TO MANUALLY DIAL THE NUMBER OFF THE PHONE DIALPAD. YES, THAT'S ILLEGAL AND NOT SAFE. HENCE THIS POST.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN CALLING THE LEXUS DEALERS HERE IN TEXAS FOR ALMOST A YEAR AFTER GETTING THE RECALL LETTER AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE PARTS FOR THE AIRBAG. IN THE MEAN TIME, SOMEONE COULD BE KILLED SITTING IN MY PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE GRANDKIDS THAT I TRANSPORT TO SCHOOL AND ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES. MY CAR IS ALMOST 8 YEARS OLD AND I LIVE IN A HIGH HUMID STATE. I HAVE EVEN TALKED TO CORPORATE FROM LEXUS AND THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS OR REMEDIES AND NO TIMELINE AS WHEN MY CAR WILL BE FIXED. THIS LOOKS LIKE A LAWSUIT IN THE MAKING.

"TAKATA RECALL" ...DEALER IS NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE DATE OF REPLACEMENT...ONLY THAT THE CAR WILL BE RECALLED BASED UPON STATE REGISTRATION DATA BANK. NOT A VALID RESPONSE IN OUR MIND.
