I own a Lexus 2012 IS250 and currently active duty member stationed at Aviano Air Base, Italy. I was not notified that my vehicle is overdue on a safety recall until today when I am trying to ship the vehicle back to the US. What further actions can I do to get the recall done" Can I get the vehicle waivered to get the recall accomplished when it reaches the US"

I call the Lexus of townson. Told them my car was a warning light after the recall replacement air bag, they told me that I has to paid for 300.00$ for diagnostic and adding labor and more to fix for the air bag warning light. So after my cousin told me driving with air bag warning light on could be danger, because any time has accident the vehicle air bag may not project the passage, so I schedule appointment I told them my car issue after they recall air bag replacement. I told them the dealer has to respond for this. At the final I takes my car home because they asked for 300.00$ diagnostic and adding over thousand for labor and more.because I always busy for my family I has to takes my mom to check up her high blood pressure and other thing every week.

My Lexus 2012 Is 250 accelerated on its own, brakes did not engage after depressing them X2, and then I crashed into a truck. Air bag did not deploy. Reported to Lexus who assumed no responsibility for incident. Third party inspected car and downloaded black box. Report from Lexus stated that car was drive able and no issues were found. Car incurred $18,000 in damages and was not drivable at the time of inspection. Witnesses at collision shop will validate such. When speaking to representatives at Lexus to report incident I was told by 2 reps on 2 occasions that this has happened to other vehicles that were the same make and model. Disturbing
