LEXUS Complaints

I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG FOR 3-4 YEARS. EVERYTHING I CONTACT THE TOLL FREE NUMBER I AM TOLD THAT I WILL BE CONTACTED WHEN ENOUGH PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. MY DASHBOARD BOARD HAS BEEN CRAVING FROM THE DIVERS SIDE COMPLETELY ACROSS AND NOT ONLY LOOKS HORRIBLE BUT APPEARS TO BE VERY UNSAFE FOR ME AS A SENIOR CITIZEN TO DRIVE...I AM 69 YEARS OLD AND PURCHASED THIS CAR DURING RETIREMENT. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT HAS PASSED WITH NO ACTION...PLEASE HELP ME. I AM 69 YEARS OLD. THE DASH BOARD IS IN CRUMBLING BEFORE MY EYES. I HAVE CALLED THEM NUMEROUS TIMES...PLEASE HELP. *TR

VEHICLE HAS A MELTING AND CRACKING DASHBOARD THAT HAS A PENDING RECALL. I HAVE REGISTERED MY VEHICLE WITH THE LEXUS DEALER TWICE. THE FIRST TIME I REGISTERED MY VEHICLE, WAS IN FEBRUARY OF 2016 AND NEVER HEARD FROM THE DEALER AGAIN. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECORD OF MY REGISTRATION. I RE-REGISTERED IN AUGUST OF 2016 AND THEY SAID THAT AN ORDER FOR THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN PLACED. IT IS NOW SIX MORE MONTHS AND THEY CAN NOT TELL ME WHEN THEY EXPECT TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE.

THE SEAT BELT FOR PASSENGER SIDE AND THE SEAT ASSEMBLY MALFUNCTIONED WHEN MY PASSENGER BUCKLED HIS SEAT BELT. THERE WAS A POPPING SOUND AND THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE SYSTEM WAS RE CALIBRATED AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT I CONTINUE TO HAVE SPORADIC PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE. I CANNOT HAVE A PASSENGER DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL - IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THIS USED CAR, I NOTICED THE RED LIGHT, BUT WAS NOT AWARE AT THE TIME THAT IT WAS WARNING LIGHT. SO MY AIRBAG RED LIGHT REMAINS ON ALL THE TIME ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED. I LATER WAS INFORMED THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND I AM NOW FEARFUL AND SEE THIS AS AN AIRBAG DEFECT THAT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS CONCERN OF QUESTIONABLE SAFETY. I THINK IT IS UNFAIR THAT LEXUS NOW WANTS TO CHARGE ME $280 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC FOR THE ROOT OF THIS PROBLEM, WHEN IN FACT THEY KNOW THAT THESE TAKATA AIRBAGS ARE NOT SAFE AND MILLIONS OF CARS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED.

MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE IN OCTOBER. THE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND 2 SENSOR LIGHTS WERE REPLACED. THE LIGHT STAYED OFF FOR A DAY AND CAME BACK ON. THE SHOP THAT REPLACED THE SENSOR SAID TO BRING IT BACK THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG BECAUSE THERE ARE NO LONGER ANY SENSOR TO REPLACE. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I PROCEEDED TO BACK INTO MY CARPORT AND WHEN I PROCEEDED TO GET ON BREAK TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, THE BRAKE FAILED AND I HAD AN ACCIDENT THAT CAUSED A LOT OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR. THANK GOD I WAS NOT PHYSICAL HURT BUT MY CAR WAS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY WAS CONTACTED AND VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AFTER PAYING MY DEDUCTIBLE, I WAS TOLD BY ABRA AUTO PARTS THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED ALL THE DAMAGES HOWEVER THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT STILL WILL NOT GO OFF AND WE SHOULD FOLLOW UP WITH THE LEXUS DEALER BECAUSE THAT WAS A MATTER THAT CANNOT BE FIXED BY THEM. I CONTACTED THE LEXUS COMPANY MANY, MANY TIMES AND STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CLEAR EXPLANATION OF WHY THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I HAVE LOOKED AT THE LEXUS MANUAL AND IT STATED THAT IF THAT LIGHT REMAIN ON, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO A LEXUS DEALER TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. ON NOVEMBER 21ST LEXUS SCHEDULED ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO THE TOYOTA DEALER TO INVESTIGATE THE SITUATION. I DID TAKE THE CAR IN AND TO THIS DATE LEXUS HAS NOT ANSWERED THE QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A DEFECT. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER BECAUSE THE LIGHTS ARE DESIGNED TO ALERT YOU WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG. LEXUS MAY NOT TAKE IT SERIOUS, BUT I DO BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY GOING ON AND MY LIFE COULD BE IN DANGER. I ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING THE AIR BAG FROM LEXUS. THEY ADVISED DO NOT LET ANYONE RIDE ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR UNTIL WE HEAR BACK FROM THEM. TO THIS DAY THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THAT SITUATION.
