"takata recall" I would like to ask if I can just have the airbags taken out. It is ridiculous to not be able to have people in my car while driving. How do I know if it is safe for me to be driving the vehicle. The air bags sound like they can hurt more than just the passengers. I feel it is my right to have the bags taken out and to depend on the trusty seatbelt. Can I have this done at no charge to me? I also want to know why did they use a different airbag manufacturer for the passenger side. Why not stick with one manufacture. Is the airbag on the passenger side defective only? I just purchased this vehicle thinking that a Lexus was a dependable car and safer than most. Please help me to take out the airbag or airbags at no cost to myself. I rather be safe than have the airbags. The airbags sound highly dangerous to anyone in the car should the air bags go off because of the air bag degrading in time to heat etc.

"takata recall'. Affected areas are the front passenger airbags . I am being told that despite this recall being issued for over a year or more that the remedy is still not available. I find this highly dangerous and terrible business practice for the Lexus corporation; not to mention putting my personal safety at risk.
