I received a letter to take the vehicle to nearest dealer for air bag recall replacement process, and I called and initiated online chatting w/ the Lexus air bag recall support team numerous times but failed to get a response from them. Online chat representative stated they can't help with scheduling, and representatives over the phone, more than 6 times of attempt, either hung up during the call and kept on transferring. It happened since March on a different dates and they still refused to complete the appointment scheduling process.
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.
