Failure Date: 02/08/2017

Takata recall . . . After receiving the 'interim notice' February 8th 2017 I checked at the dayton Lexus dealer manager of service today ( Mar 22,2017) and was told the replacement inflator will not be available for my Es350 until September 2017 making my vehicle useless for seven to eight months!! . This is totally unacceptable . Their claim as the service oriented company is a sham.

3 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2016

Takata recall. I received a recall notice and was told 1) I should not have a passenger in the passenger seat of my car and 2) there is no replacement yet. I checked today(8/16/16) and there still is not a solution for this safety defect. This problem with takata airbags has been going on for several years and there is no solution. How can there be no solution. Have there been no safe airbags installed in the last several years? if there are safe airbags inflators available why can't they be installed on affected autos. I bought a car to transport my wife and grandkids. And I can not use it because of foot dragging by both takata and Toyota. How much longer must I wait?.
