Takata recall I have contacted Lexus dealer at 700 serramonte blvd, colma CA 94014 several times regarding passenger air bag of my car but I am being ignored and advised to keep driving as it is. I am worried about my family's safety because it is our family car and they travel with me all the times.
Takata recall.
Takata recall. Lexus does not have a remedy yet. Until they do I can not get a straight answer to my question. Is the air bag on if no one is sitting in the front passenger seat? please give me the answer. Thank you.
Takata recall Lexus does not feel the urgency of developing a response to this deadly situation their response seems to be that it is takata's problem what can be done to make my car safe to carry a passenger?.
Lexus sent a recall notice on may 23, 2016, advising us not to use the passenger side seat due to the potential danger from exploding shrapnel from the takata airbag. It is now January 17, 2017, a full 8 months of not being able to use the vehicle as designed, with absolutely no information provided, no repairs and no target date for a fix, we are effectively unable to use of the vehicle. Requests for a loaner vehicle at several dealers has been denied, with advice to contact the manufacturer, who then advised us to call dealers. This is unconscionable behavior and is potentially worse than the volkswagon debacle. The value of the vehicle has Essentially disappeared and it cannot be used for business or personal family use. Toyota must be held liable and either compensate owners, provide a loaner vehicle for the duration or pay for rental vehicles, plus a substantial fine for the extremely excessive delay.
Takata recall - since the recall notice advises not to operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat I have not used the passenger seat since I received the notice of recall. I don't understand why it is taking so long to get a fix. My Lexus dealer told me it would probably be okay to use the passenger seat since it was unlikely that I would have a head on collision that would cause the bag to go off. Unbelievable!! we've ended up with four fifths of a car since I have to ride in the back seat whenever we use the car.
Jthbj46g792319591 Lexus failed to accomadate with a loaner vehicle and just keeps telling me "just be patient" every time I call them to discuss my vehicle and that it is very dangerous to drive. My vehicle has been in the garage "not driven all that time" for over four years since me and my husband are fearful for safety of our lives. The dealer has not accommodated with any recourse and just sends letters with bold red print that I am considered "zone b" and when I look up my VIN it says "remedy suspended".
