Air Bag problem #1

Takata airbag has been recalled for this model. Attempts have been made to contact via instructions on recall letter from manufacturer. Was informed someone would be out to repair it and no one showed up.

Air Bag problem #2

Takata recall - my car Is supposedly affected by the recall, but the recall will not actually show up in the system- it sounds like it only happens in 2019 - which Is greater than 6 years after the car was put in service. I am concerned about the safety of my passengers and loss of value to the car. Additionally, the car Is currently in PA but will be moving to warmer weather climate and this will cause the degradation to happen more rapidly. Lexus reports there are no Issues, which Is not true according to their own website.

Air Bag problem #4

They sent me a notification regarding the recall (NHTSA recall # 16v-340 & 17v-006 last March 2017 but until now, they haven't fix my car yet. Many times I've tried contacting them but to no avail.

Air Bag problem #5

Takata recall. This recall Is taking too long and there Is no resolution date proposed. I am trying to trade-in or sell my vehicle and receive offers $4000 or more less then kbb value. I don't want to use the vehicle especially with a front seat passenger. The rear seats are not convenient in the Is250c model as it Is a two door and the rear seats offer a cramped space for passengers.

Air Bag problem #6

Nhtsa recall # 16v-340 I was informed in writing over 6 months ago. Nothing further has happened since. The air bags should be replaced immediately if defective! I'm filing a complaint that Lexus Is taking too long. Based on attached screenshot, their excuse "recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available" not acceptable.

Air Bag problem #7

Lexus notified me in may 2016 of a recall for takata airbags, but has not taken definitive action to replace my airbag so my car Is safe to drive.

Air Bag problem #8

Takata recall I need to have passengers in my car I use if for work and to transport my husband and kids. This Is taking way to long.

Air Bag problem #9

Takata recall.
