Recall notice sent out on May 21, 2016 stated that we "should not drive with anyone in the front passenger seat" until the fix for the recall is complete. It is now November 11, 2016 and there are no fix statements nor any hint when our vehicle (located in houston, tx) will be scheduled for a repair. Driving with the restriction of not using the front passenger seat is extremely inconvenient as we use the car for clients. Lexus dealers state that they have no idea when the repairs can be made and Lexus corporate simply said to contact a dealer for a loaner car, which they refuse to do when contacted. While we recognize that this is a dangerous situation, the excessive time required to come up with a fix is unacceptable to the american public and unconscionable behavior by the manufacturer.

Takata recall. After receiving the recall, I parked our Lexus. If there is a chance of metal fragments striking the passenger, then there is also a chance the fragments could strike rear seat occupants. The recall started 5/23/16. Five months later there is no resolution. This high $ car is worthless to us. Lexus should offer to buy back the vehicles.

Takata recall - I am the orignal owner of a 2009 Lexus ES350 and I have not received notice of the recall for my vehicle. However I see complaint after complaint about the airbag recall for the same vehicle and year. Many people who own the same vehicle have reported that they have received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V340000 (air bags); why haven't everyone received noticed of this defect" the contact in this complain states that the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The owners who received notice state that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available. How can we speed up the repair process" how long must we wait!

"takata recall" I had to call the Lexus dealer in melbourne Florida when I learned about recall on radio. The dealer rep had my information and told me they will contact me when the parts come in. It's about two months and called several times and the same response. They are dragging this thinking consumer will get tired and give up. Government must do something about this issue.
