"takata recalls" air bags never deployed!.
I want to report that I experienced un-intended acceleration on my Lexus is 250c, 2012 model purchased in December 2011 as a result of which my vehicle crashed and went turtle.
The car was in the garage and the seat belt came part way out and then locked so that I could not fasten it. I could not get it to budge not matter how gently I pulled. The dealer recommended a complete replacement. They stated that the warranty for seat belts expired at 50,000. However, when I pressed for Lexus to cover this defective safety component anyway, they decided not to charge me anything due to my long record with the dealership. Good for Lexus. However, seat belts should not fail like this. If I were on a long trip, this would have been a safety hazard.
Three days ago, my 7 year old daughter could not unbuckle her seat belt. It is the middle of the rear seat. I had to pull some slack on the seat belt in order for her to slip under and out of the belt. After that, the seat belt unbuckled. I had her sit down again in the same position and the same thing happened again. I tried it next and found that I could not unbuckle the seat belt either. I believe that this is a safety issue in the event of an accident, the person in the middle seat in the back will not be able to get out of the car easily. We took it to the dealership, and demonstrated the defect, and they agreed to replace it. However, I have had the car for almost two years and this is the first time this has happened. How can I be assured that this cannot happen again? the car is a 2008 Lexus is 250.
I bought my car since 2007 on Feb, have no idea why the passenger seat belt always off when my girlfriend sitting in my car. I did bring it back to Lexus but they said no problem. . . . . . The past 3 and a half years I don't feel comfortable to let my family sitting in my car cause I don't know what going on with the passenger seat belt sign.
This complaint is for Lexus dealership in roseville California. I took my 2006 is 250 in due to I received a safety recall notice from Lexus for front seat belts (seat belts locking up). They ordered the parts back in may 06, until now it hasn't came in. I checked on the status a month ago and the dealership told me they lost all the order information (without notifying me) and had to order it again. Its been almost 3 months and I still don't have my new seat belts I am submitting this complaint because I believed the dealership has failed to remedy the defect within reasonable time. . This is a safety issue specially I have a pregnant wife that rides with me or drives the car occasionally.
