Takata recall received a recall notice by Lexus in January, 2017 advising me that that I should not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat until there is a remedy. To date, there is no remedy even though the anticipated remedy date was this month, September, 2017. I have not been able to allow a front seat passenger in my car since January, 2017 and this has caused a great inconvenience for my family. Lending my car not fully usable and the costs associated with that problem. Manufacture recall # is h2a and NHTSA recall # 17v006.
Takata recall: I was notified of this recall on Jan. 9, 2017. In the notification I was warned not to have anyone ride in the front passenger seat until a remedy is developed. It is now approaching 90 days without any remedy notification. I think this is a bit excessive and certainly outrageous for someone who purchased a luxury automobile and is now unable to have my wife ride in the front passenger seat.

Taka recall.
Takata recall - received a recall notice 6 months ago. To date eskridge Lexus dealership says there is no remedy. Also, inquiring about the 500. 00 rebate from the class action lawsuit.
Takata recall. It has been about 6 months since we were notified about the air bag recall. We keep calling our local dealer to get an estimated date that the air bags will be replaced and all we get is ' we will call you when get them to schedule the repairs'. Why is it taking so long?!?!?!?!?! I didn't purchase the car from that dealer so I wondering if they are putting my safety behind the safety of the Lexus owners who purchased a car from their store even if their car was purchased after mine's. I am tired of the inconvenience of riding in the back seat - as advised by the recall letter - and tired of asking friends and family to ride in the back seat even when there are only two of us in the car. I would like an explanation of the local Lexus dealer on how they schedule the repairs. How do they prioritize their customers to determine who will be serviced and made safer. This is totally unacceptable. None of us affected by this issue should have had to wait at all!!l.
Tamara recall.
Takata recall - after almost 2 years, Lexus has not provided a recall for the defected airbags in my vehicle.
Problem identified in may of 2016 has yet to be rectified as of December 2016. This does not qualify as " timely" resolution of the problem. My car poses a hazard to me and passengers and is far less marketable in this condition.

"takata recall" - we live in florida and drove the vehicle to denver, colorado on June 28, 2016 arriving July 1, 2016. We received the notice (forwarded via us mail to our address in denver) regarding the airbag recall on or around July 25, 2016. We contacted Lexus immediately thereafter and was told a case manager would call us back within 2-3 business days. We received a call on or around August 1, 2016 and spoke with a case manager, "zandra". She reiterated the information found in the notice and informed us that a rental vehicle could be made available if needed and we would be reimbursed for this vehicle. We informed zandra that since we were in colorado at this time, it would be impossible to drive the car without someone in the passenger seat during this time and we did not want to drive this car home with this current recall in place. Zandra did not give us any other option for us at this time. We again called the Lexus customer assistance (800-255-3987) on August 4, 2016 and spoke to "michael". We informed michael of our previous conversation with zandra and requested we speak to her. We informed michael of our situation and informed him that having a rental car does not allow us to get our current car home. We requested that in lieu of a rental car we would prefer to have the car shipped back to our florida address where we have a secondary car to use. This would be a cheaper alternative for Lexus than giving us a vehicle rental for months. We were informed by michael that we would have to wait another 3 business days (plus the weekend) to receive a call back from zandra. We informed michael that we had to leave colorado no later than August 30th and need to have this addressed but he was unable to provide any additional help or information. We are now stuck in colorado on business with an unsafe vehicle for the remainder of our stay.

Takata recall. My dealer told me that it could be many months before the part is available. In the meantime the notification told me that I shouldn't be driving the care with an occupant in the front passenger seat. I have a family so that is a unreasonable solution.

Takata recall we were first notified of the problem via letter from Lexus, inc. , on July 17, 2016. We have not been able to drive the car with a passenger in the front passenger seat since then. On April 13, 2017, nine months later, we received another letter from Lexus that they would replace the defective parts, and to call our dealer to set up an appointment. When we called Lexus kearny mesa, they told us they don't have the parts, and they would call us when they get them. Nine months? totally unacceptable.
