“Takata recall - the recall has been in place since january 2017 and there is no remedy to date other than I am not supposed to have a passenger in my vehicle for months on end. This is an unreasonable request for the length of time this is going on. There is also not a future planned date of when the air bag will be replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #11019455, filed 2017-08“Takata recall - since receiving the recall notice of the takata airbag, I haven't been given any updates on what the remedy is or when the recall can be scheduled to get the fix repaired. This everlasting uncertainty has left me without a fully functional car, as well as forcing me to make all passengers sit in the back seats to avoid potential injury. How can I get Lexus to act on this, if not inform the public of the plan to complete?”
NHTSA complaint #11001624, filed 2017-06“Takata recall. Approximately one year ago I received a notice of airbag recall with instructions to contact a Lexus dealer for replacement of the airbag. I have contacted two different dealers throughout the year and have been told repeatedly that no fix is available. Due to the strong warning of the dangers attached to this recall, I question why are lives being put in danger when the fix should have been available relatively soon after notification. !!!!”
NHTSA complaint #11040737, filed 2017-10“The contact owns a 2012 Lexus GX460. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign numbers: 16v340000 (air bags) and 17v006000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Herb chambers Lexus in hingham, massachusetts was made aware of the recall and stated that the parts would not become available until november of 2017. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect. The VIN was not available.”
