Takata recall - I got notice that my cars airbags could potentially explode and metal debris can go through the airbag which can cause serious injury or death. I would like the airbags to v e replaced and the problem remedied so I can feel safe driving my car.

Takata recall. . . I received the recall notice several months ago. . . Was told they did not have part at dealership and would be done later in year. Called again 8/17/17. . . Told still do not have part. . They are up to year 2010 for repairs . . . And told to call back in a few months. In the meantime, they said all I could do is to not have anyone ride in passenger seat. . . Very inconvenient to do for a year.

Takata recall.

My only complaint is that I have been advised not to carry a passenger and am offered condolences for the inconvenience, but this problem has been known for nine months with no resolution. That is a long time to either not carry a passenger or worry if I do.

Takata recall dealer called today and said air bag parts to repair not available until December. Is this car safe to drive.

Takata recall--how long do we have to wait? what's a reasonable time? if it's going to take years why not at least disconnect it till it can be fixed. If metal pieces are going to be flying are they guaranteeing that it would only hit the unoccupied passenger seat what if someone is sitting in the back behind the passenger seat. This is ridiculous!!!.

Takata recall: received a recall notice over a month ago. Still no repair solution. They just tell us not to have a front seat passenger. We need to use our car. . . . . All seating positions. Why hasn't this been solved?.

Takata recall----it is ridiculous to send out notices that advise you to not have a passenger-----provide compensation for a rental car until it is fixed.

Takata recall- your database is not up to date; I recieved a recall letter from Lexus at beginning of this week. I am trying to get a rental while we wait (months? years? ) for the passenger side (as the letter states, does not say the drivers side)- whay is the best make model etc for us to get? we were told takata is being used to repalce the defective ones! isn't this not right? love to know models. Males that don't use takata. !.

Takata recall: recall notification received 2-23-2017 with statement that another notification will be received. As of now, no remedy notification has been received. I feel that the seriousness of this recall should require more timely correction.

"takata recall" we just bought a Lexus350es in September 2016, and were not aware of the takata recall until we received a recall letter on 2/17/17. The letter stated that "Lexus is currently preparing the remedy for this problem and will send another notification to all affected owners when the remedy becomes available. And, what should we do? "until the remedy becomes available, we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat" and, "we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this will cause, but we are taking this action to ensure your safety" are you frickin kidding me?? we did not buy this so called, nicer car, and spend this much money, to not be able to drive it with an occupant. . . To transport, to go to & from work, or shop, to do that part of our life that requires a vehicle!!! no, nothing has happened yet, and we have not been in an accident that would trigger the air-bad to injure or kill the passenger; but how can we utilize the car if it is dangerous to our life and needs a repair, that is not even available?? on top of all this, when we were doing the paperwork to purchase this car from carmax, and it came to their disclosure form "important information regarding your purchase- manufacturer recalls and acknowledgment", it indicated that the box marked was " no open recalls reported by NHTSA". The takata recall was a reported recall! we would not have purchased this Lexus Es350 if we had known about this airbag recall. And, if the form that carmax used stating that there were no recalls, stated that there was an airbag recall in massive numbers; we would have investigated and realized that this recall did not have a remedy, we would not have bought this car!! I feel screwed without a solution. What do we do? what solution is there for us so that we can drive the car safetly. ???.

Takata recall. I am still waiting for the parts to come in for over 7 months or better now. It is a huge inconvenience as no one has been able to ride in the passenger seat of my car. Dealership keeps saying the parts are not in yet and they will call when available. Still nothing as of September 2017.
