TAKATA RECALL. TODAY'S DATE: 01/27/17. I'M FILLING THIS COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I AM UPSET AND DISSATISFIED THAT NO REMEDY/SOLUTION HAS BEEN TAKEN REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I RECEIVED A LETTER BACK IN JUNE 2016 ABOUT THIS RECALL AND ALSO A COUPLE PAGES OF FAQ. I CALLED UP MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TODAY, AND WAS INFORMED THE PARTS TO FIX THIS RECALL ISSUE ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. ACCORDING TO THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS LISTED ON THE RECALL NOTICE: "UNTIL THE REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." HOW MUCH LONGER MUST MY FOUR-PERSON PASSENGER CAR REMAIN A THREE-PERSON PASSENGER CAR? HOW MUCH LONGER MUST SO MANY OTHERS AND MYSELF HAVE TO WAIT FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE FIXED? HOW MUCH LONGER MUST I DRIVE MY CAR AND HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT POSSIBLY GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT AND HAVING SHRAPNEL PROPELLED AT ME FROM MY PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG? THE WAIT TIME FOR THE PARTS TO BE ISSUED TO RESOLVE THIS RECALL IS ABSURD. *TR

IN OCTOBER MY WIFE WAS RETURNING FROM A 9.5 HOURS TRIP WITH 1 FUEL STOP APPROX 4 HOURS FROM HOME. EXITING I95 THE CAR HAD NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS WITH A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER (VSC, CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM, AWD SYSTEM AND OTHERS). SHE COASTED THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT, ATTEMPTED TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON, BUT THERE WAS STILL NO ENGINE OR DRIVE POWER. ALL DASH LIGHTS WORKING. WE HAD THE CAR TOWEDTO OUR HOME AND I TESTED THE BATTERY AND CHARGING VOLTAGE, THEN HAD THE BATTERY LOAD TESTED AND FOUND TO BE BAD. PURCHASED AN OPTIMA YELLOW TOP BATTERY AND ALL OTHER DASH WARNINGS CEASED. IN NOVEMBER, AGAIN RETURNING FROM A TRIP EXITING I95 THE CAR STALLED AND DISPLAYED ONLY THE CHECK HYBRID AND AWD LIGHTS. THIS TIME TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR 30 SECONDS AND THEN BACK ON. THE ENGINE TURNED ON AND HYBRID MOTOR FUNCTION RESUMED WITH THE "CHECK HYBRID LIGHT" STILL ILLUMINATED. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FOR A MINUTE AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF WITH NORMAL ENGINE AND HYBRID DRIVE FUNCTION. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT LEXUS IF IT OCCURRED AGAIN. ONE MONTH LATER AGAIN RETURNING FROM A TRIP, EXITED I95 AND ONCE THE CAR WAS SLOWED TO ABOUT 35 MPH CAR LOST POWER, WARNING LIGHTS "AWD" AND "CHECK HYBRID" ILLUMINATED AND CAR HAD ENTERED A "LIMP" TYPE OF MODE WITH SOME POWER WITH THE GAS PEDAL AND LIMITED SPEED. POWER DISTRIBUTION SCREEN SHOWED NO POWER MOVEMENT FROM THE ENGINE/BATTERY/WHEEL CHARGING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED. PULLED TO A PARKING LOT TURNED OFF MOMENTARILY AND THEN BACK ON, RESUMING NORMAL FUNCTION. "AWD" WARNING WENT AWAY, BUT "CHECK HYBRID" AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WERE BOTH ON. ONE DAY PRIOR TO THE APPT AT LEXUS THE CAR WAS USED WITH THE WARNING LIGHTS STILL ILLUMINATED, STILL FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THE LIGHTS, AT SOME POINT DURING THE DRIVE WENT OUT ON THEIR OWN. THE SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS AGAIN CANCELLED ON THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE THE SCHEDULE.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE SECOND DAY I BOUGHT MY CAR IT HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY ENGINE/MOTOR NOT LONG AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR. I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR AND NEW MOTOR. IT RUNS HOT AND I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO 6 DIFFERENT MECHANIC AS WELL AS TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND I HAVE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A LOT OF THINGS. I ALSO WENT ON LEXUS.COM AND FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR IS A LEMON BUY BACK AND WAS NEVER TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM OR THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP IN BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA THAT IT WAS A LEMON. I HAD TO FUND OUT ON MY OWN. IT VERY WRONG THAT I BOUGHT A CAR AND NOT TOLD MY ANYONE HOW THE CAR IS A LEMON. *TR
