2 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2018

I have a family of five and have not been able to use my vehicle to take my whole family anywhere for almost a year now. Any time I have a passenger I have to ask that they sit in the back seat. The dealership was supposed to contact me to determine airbag replacement date and provide a loaner car if they could not replace the airbag in a timely manner. I have not been able to get through to the dealership and have not received a return call. I feel I have been patient but this has become a burden on me and my family and I would like the airbag to be fixed as soon as possible so I can use my vehicle as a family car as intended.

3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/20/2017

Takata recall. We called Lexus of fife in November of 2017 when we received notification the airbag replacements were available. As of this date of January 21st 2018 we have not had a fix. When we called the first of the year we were told we we #51 on the list. We called again mid month and were told the same thing #51. There seems to be no sense of urgency to solve this issue. We are scheduled to drive to southern California for a wedding in mid February 2018 and I would like this issue resolved before we drive that far. If this is a deadly issue shouldn't it be a priority to solve it. While I understand Lexus of fife can't do free work all day there should be another option to fix this problem ASAP.

"takata recall". I bought this car new in July 2007 and this airbag problem has been identified several years ago. I received an interim recall no.
