Incident on 10/13/2020 on Tuesday October 13th. 2020 I was driving my 2010 Lexus Es 350 in diamond bar, CA 91765. I got hit on my side by a speedy car (ran red light) he was driving at speed of 55 mph. I got multiple fractures (no air bags were deployed) and later on hospital admission due to life serious complications. Now I’m dealing with continuous pain, inability to back to normal life style and a must have joint replacement due to joint damage (bone and cartilage). I have police report/total loss report have details about car damage and countless medical care and hospital admission for the implication of the accident. I'm uploading some photos for my white Lexus to the extent lt. Axle broke and even for the other car in the crash seen (dark gray Audi) to show his speed.

Takata recall I have been waiting for the fix for almost a year called the dealership and they said hopefully in September of 2017. Seems a bit crazy to me.

4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2016

Nothing has happened I am complaining as Lexus has known about this since may and still haven't been contacted to fix my vehicle?.

5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/26/2016

Apparently, Lexus mailed a recall notice to my home address sometime in June (the letter does not have a date that it was issued) about the takata passenger airbag problem. However, I did not know about the recall notice until after I made a long trip with my sister from atlanta, GA to melbourne, FL in mid June 2016. Fortunately my sister and I were not in an accident during that trip, but if I had known about the recall beforehand, I would not have used the car for the trip. Lexus needs to do a better job of notifying their customers of serious problems that could result in major injury or death. I am angry that my husband and I cannot make full use of this car and that Lexus is not fixing this problem. . . They told us to wait another 6 months. Why should I have to continue making car payments on a vehicle that is defective and dangerous. Shame on the car manufacturers Lexus (Toyota) and many others who knew that takata air bags were defective and yet still installed them in their cars in the name of saving dollars. Disgusting!.

6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/25/2016

"takata recall". I called my local Lexus dealership to see if I could get a rental car until they were able to fix my car. What they offered was ridiculous. They would approve $30. 00 a day for rental car with a $1,000. 00 limit. The parts will not be available until 2017. That would mean that I would be responsible for over five month for a rental car. My Honda truck is on the same recall and they offered me free rental which I am driving. I tried to call Lexus at 800-255-3987 but they drop the line after holding for over15 minutes twice. I am retired and we have 3 grandchildren so my car will not be safe to drive when they visit. Plus, my wife and I will not be able to ride together unless she sits in the back seat. The offer by Lexus is not acceptable Especially since Honda has offered a more reasonable option. Thank you.

7 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2016

Tekata airbag recall. Notified in July 2016 of the issue of the tekata airbag recall and was instructed by local Lexus dealer (motor city Lexus, bakersfield, CA) to refrain from allowing passengers to ride in front passenger seat. Extreme hardship because my wife recently had surgeries and getting in and out of rear seat is difficult and uncomfortable. Monthly contact with Lexus dealer regarding repair have been met with arrogant disregard for repair request. Ron gallington bakersfield, CA rgallington@bak. Rr. Com.

8 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/09/2016

Takata recall my letter is dated. July 9th 2016 I would like to find our why this problem has not been corrected. I have not had a passenger for over a year.

9 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/23/2016

Takata recall. Lexus states that "do not operate vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat". Have done this since may 2016. This is an unreasonable request for a family of 5. To date, Lexus has exceeded the time frame to replace the air bags and no replacement in sight. Have called Lexus. . Still no timeline for remedy. My son's Honda pilot airbag has been replaced. Is Lexus waiting for an accident to happen? we need you to push Lexus to remedy this problem.

10 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2016

We received a notice by mail that the airbags in our vehicle was being recalled and additional information regarding repair would be forthcoming. The notice was received may 2016, almost a year ago and no further notice has been received. The only recommendation from Lexus was to not have anybody sit in the front passenger seat which means not having full use of my own vehicle. This delay in taking action is unacceptable.

11 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2016

Takata recall I received a recall notice in may 2016. I inquired about the repair and was told parts would not be available until Jan 2017. I called again and was told the parts are still not available. Please do something to expedite the repairs.

12 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2016

Takata recall, I don't understand why it has taken so long to address this issue. I was notified almost one year ago, I had to take a long trip with my family this past November 2016, and Lexus did provide a rental, however, the recall has made my family have to plan not to use the front sit and limits the vehicle's useful purpose. What disturbs me more, there has not been any further information regarding a scheduled remedy. How do you plan your vehicle's use? a projected scheduled remedy is in order, older vehicles affected should have priority, if schedules are announced it would be difficult for dealers to pick and choose what vehicle owners get serviced and in what order.

13 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2016

Takata recall: it is taking too long to remedy this airbag situation. It is an extreme inconvenience to have passengers ride in the rear. Fix it or upgrade my vehicle!.

14 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/08/2013

My takata recall on my passenger air bag was recalled. I was scared to drive since my former 2004 Lexus airbag was not functioning properly. So I did not drive it for 3 yrs knowing my husband could not ride in the front sure to being handicapped, from a stroke, he could not get into the back seats. I owned a 2004 Lexus was totaled in 2010 and neither airbag deflated either .
