Air Bag Problems of Lexus ES - part 2

I received a letter that my vehicle is subject to a recall for "passenger airbag may not deploy". I contacted my dealer and they said there is not a remedy at they do not know when the remedy will be available. Possibly not until 3rd quarter of 2024. I asked what if the airbag is needed to deploy while they figure out a remedy, they stated. "we hope this does not happen". Offering me nothing but hope that no one dies from their error. It is nice to know that Lexus offers hope instead of safety for me and my family.

Front seat passenger air bag recall and it has been over a year and they are still waiting for the parts. The recall says that the air bag may not deploy when it is supposed to and could cause injury to the occupant. I would think this would be a high priority for Lexus to fix the problem. Can you help us get this taken care of?.

Recall on my vehicle has been out for 1. 5 years. Dealer states no parts yet & that I should be fine. But I don’t feel safe if my passenger air bag won’t deploy in any emergency.

There is an active recall for my vehicle involving the passenger airbag potentially not deploying. This is a huge safety risk and the remedy is still not available. The active recall was first initiated in December of 2023.

The passenger side airbag is shrinking and seems to be collapsing into the dashboard. There is an indicator light on the passenger side that is lit up noting that "airbag off," so apparently there is no airbag protection for passenger. Three days ago, the right side of the windshield - passenger side, and the passenger window and passenger side back seat window, were all moist and foggy in the morning. There were no windows opened. I think the airbag situation is causing the airbag to leak moisture into the surrounding windows and the passenger side of the car. I don't know what this fluid/moisture is composed of, but I can only imagine it must be some type of chemical - something that you do not want to be leaking into the car on a daily basis.

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.

I purchased Lexus Es350 in July 2019 and learned that the vehicle had safety recalls 20v012000, 20v682000 identified as early as January 2020, high risk fuel pump related issues where a low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail increasing the likelihood of a crash and life threatening. Lexus has been too complacent and till date, still hasn't come up with a remedy. When I reached out to the dealer for a replacement or a repurchase for safety sake they refuse to assist in any capacity. Need your assistance pushing Lexus recall this vehicle. I do not want to put my family in danger driving this vehicle. I appreciate your help resolving the issue.

The airbag cover on the passenger side of the car is starting to crack and lift,seems like pressure is causing the lift. Took it to the dealer and was told it's because the dashboard is old. Compared it to an Es300, the air bag definitely has started to lift.
