“I have contacted the Lexus service center for woodland hills, ca dealer to schedule an appointment back in june 2017. Up to this date, august 21,2017, they still don't have the part available for my car. I called again today and they told me they will call me back when the part is available. This is unacceptable. How long does it take for the parts to be ordered? In the meantime, I have to use my car. If something happen to me or my family, this is not good for your company.”

“Takata recall. I received a recall notice from Lexus approximately may, 2016 about the air bag recall which stated that the fix would be done soon and to not allow a passenger to ride in the front passenger seat. My local dealership told me they hoped to replace the air bags in january, 2017, at the earliest. As of today, 12/9/2016, no additional information has been communicated to me. I believe this is not a timely remedy, especially since my car is only partially usable and is dangerous for me to drive. …”

“Takata recall passenger side airbag was recalled july 2016. We were told it would be repaired no later than feb 2017. Now we are being told june or july 2017. I have a loaner however I have been making a car payment for a Lexus and I have a chevy impala loaner. I can't sell the Lexus I am stuck and furious. What recourse do I have? I paid for extended warranty when I purchased and car isn't even being driven. At what point does Lexus have to compensate me for my out of pocket? At what point do they have to buy the car I can't drive?”
