Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator Problems of Lexus IS

The vehicle had the front airbags replaced under a national recall. After having the recall done, I received, by usps mail, a "customer support program notification - zlj" sent to me from the manufacturer describing an extended warranty, as Issues have occurred with the new drivers side knee airbag inflator triggering the srs light to come on after the work was done based on faulty crimping. This vehicle Is a second vehicle and does not get driven very often. In June of 2020, I noticed the airbag light coming on intermittently when first starting the car. I remembered the notice and called the dealer. I was told on June 15th that the harness would need to be replaced and the warranty ended on June 12th, 2020. They are refusing to repair the new harness that was installed under recall. I was quoted $2700 out of pocket for the repair. The dealer installed a known defective part, and are now refusing to perform the necessary repairs. See attached photo for more information. The replacement parts should be limited by mileage, not by time, as the vehicle has only been driven a few thousand miles since the work was performed. The faulty crimping in the replaced harness should be a new recall.

"takata recall" - I received information from Lexus in early 2017 stating that my vehicle was part of a recall due to faulty takata inflators. The statement showed that my vehicles airbag replacement due to the recall could be delayed because the airbags were put into categories based on the age of the vehicle and stating the chance of degradation by where you lived. The info stated they would be in touch with me at a later date when my vehicle was considered to be more at risk. This was several months ago, I now live in florida where it Is very hot, and since my vehicle has not been recalled an taken into the dealer for assessment and/or repair, I cannot register it for the class action settlement. Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

Takata inflators - cannot use car whenever I have more than 3 passengers. No solution provided after the recall alert received for 2 months. No news about when the repair can be done.

Takata inflators- I received a recall notice in June 2016 and was originally told parts would be available in Sep 2016, then oct- Jan 2017 and finally early 2017. I was told not to have anyone ride in my passenger seat. 1. This Is not possible long term 2. I don't have the money to pay for my current car plus a rental every 30 days and wait for a check to be mailed to me. 3. I dont have the means to store 2 cars long term. 4. I dont believe this problem Is limited to the passenger airbags. The dealership has been referring me to Lexus and Lexus has been referring me to the dealership. No one wants to take ownership and fix the problem. It Is not safe for me to drive my car and Lexus will not acknowledge the problem.
