I called Lexus of rockville center li NY today regarding "urgent safety recall" notice I received. Sadly Lexus dealer told me that the parts are on backorder until end of March... can't even make appointment to have Lexus fix the problem "takata front passenger airbag inflators" for an urgent safety recall - I have had no vehicle problems yet...
Faulty airbag harness wirring. Dear sir or madam, this is to report that 2007-2012 is 250, is 350 and ES 350 has faulty airbag wiring harness which disables the airbags. Clublexus.com has received hundreds of complaints regarding this. The repairs will only be done or correct if the vehicle is under 6 years old or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first. Few thousand customers have cars less than 70,000 miles buy beyond 72 months but Lexus refuses to rectify this tsb warning under the warranty. It is not our faults that the vehicles have been driven less than 70,000 miles in 6 years. The cost to repair this is in the upwards of 4000$. this is ridiculous on the part of Lexus and NHTSA. The airbag wiring should be included in the recalls along with the takata recalls as they are connected but Lexus refuses to agree to the consumer complaints and have dared many customers to challenge NHTSA to get it covered under recall. Please help thousands of Lexus drivers and their families from this fatal tsb fault which Lexus refuses to fix. Further, Lexus stated that "if the fault is covered by the recall, it will be fixed without fail". so far Lexus wants to get richer by charging consumers $4000 for a part that they installed to big with. Please check the clublexus.com forum regarding the airbag lights coming on and the reaction that Lexus has submitted to its customers. They are willing to put their customers and their families lives in danger just because NHTSA did not tell them to include airbag harness wiring in the takata recall, even if the vehicles are beyond warranty repairs. Please help us in these dire and unsafe circumstances. Thank you

Takata recall: In January, 2017, we received notice from Lexus of the recall for the right front airbag, NHTSA recall 17V006. After waiting several months to hear from the dealer, we called them on 04/27/17 to inquire regarding status of airbag replacement and was told it should be in mid-June. Having heard nothing, we called again on 07/17/17 and was then told it would be December. We called today, 10/18/17, to confirm replacement of the airbag in December and was told they have no idea when this would take place. We have not received a follow-up notice from Lexus regarding this lengthy delay. We were told by the dealer to contact Lexus customer service or see what information was available on Lexus website. We are wondering if this means Lexus is not corresponding with their dealers so that recall information can be given to the car owners. We have; however, received notice regarding the auto airbag settlement. We are very patient people; however, a response from the dealer offering little to no information about the recall is what prompted this complaint.
