Dealer, atlantic city Lexus, advises that it Is very costly to repair the air bag system as it involves miles of wires. Therefore, I don't want to drive the car.

Takata inflators. I had my car into the dealership after receiving several notices of the recall. I was told at the dealership I would be placed on waiting list for the recall parts. That has been months ago. I called today to inquire about the recall wait list and I was told they are not working on the convertibles. I would have to wait. I asked if I was not suppose to use the front passenger seat and she said they have had no issues or complaints with the pass seat. I am a realtor and use my car everyday for work with passengers in the front pass seat. Any idea how long this recall repair will take? I do T want me clients to be unsafe in my vehicle. Thank you

Takata recall-I was notified of the takata recall on my Is 250 year 2010 back in July. I contacted the dealer the same day and was put on a waiting list. I followed up with them multiple times to see when the parts would be in inventory and they kept saying soon. Did not apologize for any inconveniences at any time. This recall has also been reported to my insurance company therefore limiting the 100% use of my car. I was contacted Monday March 20, 2017 (9 months later) that finally the parts have arrived. This is terrible consumer satisfaction and consumer quality. Basically I purchased a 4 passenger car, to only really only have 3 passengers for almost a year. I used to be part of a carpool and no longer can which adds more mileage to my car. I was never offered a loaner car from the dealer and was told that the parts had to be manufactured which was why it took over 6 months. I would love to be part of any class action lawsuit or contacted for more information if needed about how this has affected day to day activities.

Takata recall I have been calling the Lexus dealers here in Texas for almost a year after getting the recall letter and they still do not have parts for the airbag. In the mean time, someone could be killed sitting in my passenger seat. I have grandkids that I Transport to school and athletic activities. My car Is almost 8 years old and I live in a high humid state. I have even talked to corporate from Lexus and they have no answers or remedies and no timeline as when my car will be fixed. This looks like a lawsuit in the making.

Takata recall - immediately after purchasing this used car, I noticed the red light, but was not aware at the time that it was warning light. So my airbag red light remains on all the time once the car Is started. I later was informed that this should not be happening and I am now fearful and see this as an airbag defect that could lead to serious concern of questionable safety. I think it Is unfair that Lexus now wants to charge me $280 for a diagnostic for the root of this problem, when in fact they know that these takata airbags are not safe and millions of cars have already been recalled.
