TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 LEXUS ES350. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V006000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (LEN STOLER LEXUS, 11311 REISTERSTOWN RD, OWINGS MILLS, MD 21117 (410) 773-9613) WAS CONTACTED AND RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENTS WERE SCHEDULED. THE APPOINTMENTS WERE CANCELLED BY THE DEALER, STATING THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AT 800-255-3987, BUT WAS GREETING BY A RECORDING, STATING TO CONTACT THE LOCAL LEXUS DEALER TO SCHEDULE A RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

FAULTY AIRBAG HARNESS WIRRING. DEAR SIR OR MADAM, THIS IS TO REPORT THAT 2007-2012 IS 250, IS 350 AND ES 350 HAS FAULTY AIRBAG WIRING HARNESS WHICH DISABLES THE AIRBAGS. CLUBLEXUS.COM HAS RECEIVED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS. THE REPAIRS WILL ONLY BE DONE OR CORRECT IF THE VEHICLE IS UNDER 6 YEARS OLD OR 70,000 MILES, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. FEW THOUSAND CUSTOMERS HAVE CARS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES BUY BEYOND 72 MONTHS BUT LEXUS REFUSES TO RECTIFY THIS TSB WARNING UNDER THE WARRANTY. IT IS NOT OUR FAULTS THAT THE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 70,000 MILES IN 6 YEARS. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS IS IN THE UPWARDS OF 4000$. THIS IS RIDICULOUS ON THE PART OF LEXUS AND NHTSA. THE AIRBAG WIRING SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS ALONG WITH THE TAKATA RECALLS AS THEY ARE CONNECTED BUT LEXUS REFUSES TO AGREE TO THE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND HAVE DARED MANY CUSTOMERS TO CHALLENGE NHTSA TO GET IT COVERED UNDER RECALL. PLEASE HELP THOUSANDS OF LEXUS DRIVERS AND THEIR FAMILIES FROM THIS FATAL TSB FAULT WHICH LEXUS REFUSES TO FIX. FURTHER, LEXUS STATED THAT "IF THE FAULT IS COVERED BY THE RECALL, IT WILL BE FIXED WITHOUT FAIL". SO FAR LEXUS WANTS TO GET RICHER BY CHARGING CONSUMERS $4000.00 FOR A PART THAT THEY INSTALLED TO BIG WITH. PLEASE CHECK THE CLUBLEXUS.COM FORUM REGARDING THE AIRBAG LIGHTS COMING ON AND THE REACTION THAT LEXUS HAS SUBMITTED TO ITS CUSTOMERS. THEY ARE WILLING TO PUT THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THEIR FAMILIES LIVES IN DANGER JUST BECAUSE NHTSA DID NOT TELL THEM TO INCLUDE AIRBAG HARNESS WIRING IN THE TAKATA RECALL, EVEN IF THE VEHICLES ARE BEYOND WARRANTY REPAIRS. PLEASE HELP US IN THESE DIRE AND UNSAFE CIRCUMSTANCES. THANK YOU

TAKATA RECALL. DEALER TELLS ME NOT TO DRIVE CAR WITH FRONT PASSENGER, DOES NOT HAVE PARTS/ABILITY TO FIX THE PROBLEMS AND OFFERS ME CAR RENTAL UNTIL RESOLUTION. HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO ACCEPT THE RENTAL CAR, I MUST AGREE NOT TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR AT ALL EVEN WHEN I AM ALONE. I EXPLAIN I AM ALONE 99.9% OF THE TIME BUT HAVE CHILDREN AND OTHER GUESTS COMING TO VISIT ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THIS SUMMER AND THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY TIME I WOULD HAVE FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS AND THE ONLY TIME I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE MY CAR IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION. I AM TOLD BY DEALER'S REPRESENTATIVE I MUST SIGN DOCUMENTS STATING I WILL NOT DRIVE MY CAR AT ALL ONCE I AM GIVEN A RENTAL. I AM ALSO TOLD DEALER MAY NOT BE EQUIPPED TO REPAIR/CORRECT THE PROBLEM UNTIL SOME TIME LATE FALL 2017, WHICH MEANS I WILL HAVE TO DRIVE A RENTAL FOR 5 OR 6 MONTHS WHILE MY OWN CAR SITS IDLY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I CAN'T DRIVE MY OWN CAR WHEN I AM ALONE AND WHY I MUST 'COMMIT' TO A RENTAL FOR THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF TIME. THEY WILL NOT OFFER ME THE SAME TYPE OF CAR EITHER.
