Still no remedy for the passenger side airbag. This is ridiculous that it would take almost a year and still nothing yet! they seem to have enough airbags for the new cars they are making. Lets fix the bad airbags first before anyone else gets killed! come on NHTSA lets get on Toyota and make them get this done.
In an accident in 2012, a car impacted this Lexus from right side and the Lexus shifted over the curb and hit the road side light post. The front driver side airbag exploded but instead of protecting people from injury, it damaged my wife's right knee badly. The knee bone was fractured and she had three surgeries in hospital. She had been on bed for half year before recovery. Now she still can't walk normally and feel pain from her knee.
