2012 Lexus ES Air bags Problems

“I have called the number provided on the letter that notified me of the recall to make arrangements. I was told the new air bags are not available yet and in the meantime, I can rent a car (not a Lexus) through enterprise rent a car. That is not acceptable. I bought a Lexus and since my car is not safe to drive until the air bag is replaced, I should have a comparable car to drive.”

“Light can on and off 12/20/2019 when I was driving, I pull into parking lot and cut off engine...waited a few minutes and started car back up it went away, the next day 12/21/2019 when I started up my car it came on while still park and stay on, not a good feeling .”

“Takata recall while the recall letter was undated, I received it in january 2017 or at the latest, early february 2017. I checked with two Lexus dealerships on march 20, 2017, only to be told that they were working on 2010 models and that I would be notified when parts were available for my model Lexus. For 8 months I have avoided having passengers in the front seat. That is a long time. There is some foot-dragging on the part of takata or Lexus or both. What can be done to expedite replacement of the airbag?”

“I had a 2012 Lexus ES 350 and had problems with it. The first problem occurred when I was parking. I was angle parking and had my foot on the brake when the car jumped into a brick wall. Four air bags exploded in my face and rendered me unconscious. I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. I could hardly walk and my legs were extremely swollen and I had many other bruises. The second incident was that the passenger seat of the car went on fire and burnt the seat. I feel I should not have to pay the final excess wear and tear bill of $829.50. …”

“Takata recall - there has been no viable solution issued to protect consumers while the remedy for this recall is developed. The recommendation to not drive with a front seat passenger is not feasible or practical. No injury has been sustained at this time.”
