68 reportsTHE DASHBOARD GETS EXTREMELY STICKY AND I HAVE NOTICE A SMALL HOLE WHICH HAS NOW TURNED INTO A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I THINK THIS HAPPEN AS A RESULT OF THE HEAT. I DON'T ALWAYS KEEP MY CAR PARKED UNDER A GARAGE.
TAKATA RECALL - I WAS CONTACTED BY THE CAR DEALERSHIP ON MAY 23, 2016, THAT OUR CAR HAD DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS AND WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN A REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS CONTACTED BY THE CAR DEALERSHIP ON MAY 23, 2016, THAT OUR CAR HAD DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS AND WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN A REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE. AFTER SEVEN MONTHS OF WAITING TO HEAR WHEN THE REMEDY WOULD BE AVAILABLE, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ON NOV.01,2016, TO INQUIRE WHEN THE PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED. THE ANSWER WAS "WE DON'T KNOW, BUT WE THINK PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN LATE DECEMBER 2016. I HAVE READ THAT SOME 90% OF HONDA CARS WITH THE SAME AIRBAG PROBLEM,HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. SEVEN MONTHS OF HAVING TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE LEXUS PRODUCT SEEMS TOTALLY EXCESSIVE AND IRRESPONSIBLE. MORE ACCURATE FIX DATES AND ALTERNATIVES SHOULD BE PROVIDED TO THE VEHICLE OWNER BY THE DEALERSHIP.
TAKATA RECALL. WE RECIEVED NOTICE OF RECALL JULY 2016. IT'S NOW 6 MONTHS LATER, WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL NOTICE. THIS IS AN OLDER MODEL CAR AND WE LIVE IN HOT FLORIDA.

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN MAY 2016. TOLD NOT TO USE PASSENGER SEAT AND IT IS NOW NOVEMBER 22, 2016 WITH NO "REMEDY" AVAILABLE YET. I BLAME TAKATA BUT AM VERY FRUSTRATED THAT THIS VERY SERIOUS RECALL HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED YET. I DON'T LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND WE ARE IN TEXAS AND SUPPOSEDLY GOING TO BE IN THE FIRST GROUP RECEIVING THE FIX.
TAKATA RECALL, IT HAS FIVE MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE RECALL REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. I HAVE NOT SEEN NOR READ ABOUT ANY PROGRESS UPDATE ON GETTING THIS RESOLVED.
TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL WITHOUT A REMEDY MAKES THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT TO USE BECAUSE OF THE WARNING NOT TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT.
TAKATA AIRBAG - THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN FLORIDA IN 2007 AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN A HOT HUMID CLIMATE EVER SINCE. WE WERE NOTIFIED IN JUNE OF THE RECALL AND SINCE THEN, LEXUS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE PART OR FIX THE PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW.
I RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR THE RECALL. MONTHS AGO( 3+), THEY ASK ME TO WAIT BUT NOTHING, I CALLED TWICE BUT THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO RECEIVED. HOW LONG I HAVE TO WAIT?
LEXUS WILL NOT REPLACE THE RECALLED TAKATA AIR BAGS ANS REFUSES TO SEND THE EQUIPMENT TO THE DEALERSHIP PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK FOR INJURY OR DEATH
