general problems of the 2008 Lexus ES

The contact owned a 2008 Lexus Es350. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 - 40 mph, the air bags suddenly deployed independently. The contact stated that his view was obstructed due to the air bag deployment, and he briefly lost control the vehicle and the vehicle came to a complete stop after crashing into a light pole. The remaining air bags did deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and was deemed a total loss by the insurance provider. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported. The contact was transported by air to an area shock trauma center and treated for a broken neck, a broken right shoulder, loss of four teeth, a laceration requiring 40 stitches, and later required reconstructive surgery on both his right leg and right foot. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Car was recalled for faulty air bags. I have tried numerous times to speak with someone,always with the same result-I am transferred 2 or 3 times and then I am promised a call back. I have not received a call back as of 6/20/2022. I think the first time I called was over a year ago. I am sure I called at least 4 times and spent many hours on hold being transferred. I have other things to do than sit on hold. I would like the problem fixed.

Takata recall. . My airbags have not been replaced nor have the manufacture attempted to replace them.

Takata recall announced on Jan 2017 but it still has not started the remedy of recall. So frustrated!!!.

Takata recall: I contacted the dealer I purchased the car from 2 times in the past 4 months, most recently on October 25, 2017 and was told that they have still have not received the parts. I believe this may be the case because takata and its affiliates are now in chapter 11. No one there can tell me anything about the timeframe for the parts being delivered to the service department at the Lexus of rockville centre in rockville centre, NY. The recall notice was issued in January 2017. Hundreds if not thousands of consumers like myself are driving with air bags that can explode and potential kill the car's occupants.

Takata recall: I was notified nearly a year ago of the safety recall required on my Lexus. I have called 4-5 times over the past 12 months but have yet to be contacted by my dealership regarding replacing the airbag. What is the recourse for having this work done? is the dealer my only recourse? I have little doubt that they are responding to those customers who purchased their vehicles from the dealership (a friend of mine had the recall work done several months ago). This is an extreme inconvenience as I am unable to use the passenger seat of my vehicle, for nearly a year. What can I do?.

Takata recall. I"m extremely concerned about the air bag recall. As I am unable to utilize my vehicle to it's fullest extent without fear of injury or even death to myself and passengers.

Takata recall part is not available. Put on wait list. Until the remedy is performed, they recommend not to operate the vehicle with passenger front seat. It's very inconvenient as we are family of 4!!!!.

I received noticed of the NHTSA recall 16v-340 in may of 2016. Ten months later Lexus still does not have the parts at dealers to get this fixed. This is unacceptable.

There is still no remedy available for my car. I live in zone 1! my car is nine years old and still Lexus has not made an airbag replacement for any of the Es models! why? other car manufacturers have fixed their cars. Not acceptable. Nhsta needs to get on Lexus/Toyota to get this done. This is beyond ridiculous. This is my teenagers car. How many more deaths do we need in order to get this done? until Lexus is forced to comply in a reasonable time, they will not. We are getting close to a year now. Unacceptable!!!!.

Takata recall still no information or remedy for my 2008 Lexus that is in zone a, SC. Lexus is fixing 2012 is models ahead of much older models. It is against the nhtsb cro. Lexus is stonewalling their customers!!! no information is being told to their customers.

Takata recall was told by the dealer that fix will not be available until mid 2017. Unacceptable for a safety issue.

Takata recall. I received a safety recall notice from Lexus many months ago; January, I believe, but have not yet received a follow-up notice for repair. When I contacted my local dealer today, I was told that repair is still not available and I have to continue waiting. My complaint is that this process is taking so long. Lexus recommends that I do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. I think to do so for ten months is totally unrealistic.

Dissatisfied with the amount of time that has been given to Toyota/takata. This has been going on for months and we still have not been told when the airbags will be replaced. Telling is not to have anyone ride in the passenger seat of the car is not an option all the time.

Takata recall. Unable to carry passengers in the front seat for several months. Also unable to sell the car to a private party during the time I waited for repair parts.

Takata recall. I have tried calling the general manager of mcgrath Lexus in westmont illinois twice. His name is terry eiseheart regarding this recall. He refuses to call me back or answer any calls.

Takata recall - received recall notice July 2016. As of Feb 27, 2017 no one at the dealership, or Lexus corporate can give any guidance on timetable for replacement, or if any Lexus models have been repaired. When will I hear timetable? Lexus is selling new models of the same car, why not replace defective part with new car part?.

Takata airbag recall without a remedy makes the car very difficult to use because of the warning not to have passengers in the front seat.

Takata recall. We receiced notice of recall July 2016. It's now 6 months later, without any additional notice. This is an older model car and we live in hot florida. We know this is a high risk car for this defect. We are afraid to use it for threat of death to the passenger. Please contact us immediately with information as to getting this problem rectified. Thank you much.

Takata airbag - this vehicle was purchased in florida in 2007 and has been driven in a hot humid climate ever since. We were notified in June of the recall and since then, Lexus have been unable to provide the part or fix the problem. It needs to be addressed now.

Takata recall "recall incomplete remedy not yet available" as a result of this recall our passenger seat is not available for safe transport of passengers.

I received a notice for the recall. Months ago( 3+), they ask me to wait but nothing, I called twice but they said they don't have the parts and they don't know when are they going to received. How long I have to wait?.

Takata recall - I was contacted by the car dealership on may 23, 2016, that our car had defective air bags and would be notified when a remedy was available. After seven months of waiting to hear when the remedy would be available, I called the dealership on Nov. 01,2016, to inquire when the problem would be fixed. The answer was "we don't know, but we think parts will be available in late December 2016. I have read that some 90% of Honda cars with the same airbag problem,have been repaired. Seven months of having to drive an unsafe Lexus product seems totally excessive and irresponsible. More accurate fix dates and alternatives should be provided to the vehicle owner by the dealership.

Lexus will not replace the recalled takata air bags ans refuses to send the equipment to the dealership putting my family at risk for injury or death.

Takata recall, it has five months since I received the recall regarding the defective airbag. I have not seen nor read about any progress update on getting this resolved.

Takata recall: received the recall notice in may 2016. Told not to use passenger seat and it is now November 22, 2016 with no "remedy" available yet. I blame takata but am very frustrated that this very serious recall has not been corrected yet. I don't let anyone sit in the passenger seat and we are in texas and supposedly going to be in the first group receiving the fix.

"takata recall".

I was informed by state farm insurance that my 2008 Lexus Es350 does not qualify for an airbag discount because they have determined that the airbags are unsafe on this model. I have checked the NHTSA recall database and there are no recalls on this model. What does state farm know that you do not. I do not want to drive an unsafe automobile. Please respond.

My driver side door was hit by someone going approximately 40 mph as I turned a corner going 5 mph. The impact threw me approximately 100 feet into a block wall and not one single airbag deployed. My head broke the driver door window.
