2014 Lexus IS 250 Air bags Problems

“Takata recall. I received the safety recall notice on march 2017 and brought the car to Lexus san diego dealer located at kearny mesa san diego ca on 25 march to get it fixed. I was told that there is no parts available so they put me on the waiting list. I came back after a month and the dealer said that there still no parts.”

“I called the dealership regarding the expanding recall and am trying to find out if my car has the tekata airbags. I had to call the north american headquarters in torrance california where they made fun of me on the phone line. I just want to know if I have tekata airbags that are not yet in the recall that is expanding so I can deactivate them or get the issue addressed. I do not feel comfortable driving the car without knowing this. They admit they have the information as to the manufacturer for the airbags but refuse to give it to me. …”
