TAKATA RECALL. WHEN DO THEY PROPOSE TO DO SOMETHING SINCE IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED THE NOTICE. IT IS NICE THAT THEY SAY DON'T DRIVE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN DO THEY PROPOSE TO DO SOMETHING SINCE IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED THE NOTICE. IT IS NICE THAT THEY SAY DON'T DRIVE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HOWEVER, NOT EVERYONE HAS THE LUXURY OF DOING THIS. MAYBE LEXUS EXECUTIVES HAVE MULTIPLE VEHICLES SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE PASSENGERS RIDE WITH THEM. IF THAT IS THEIR SOLUTION, THE CEO OF LEXUS CAN LEND ME ONE OF HIS CARS UNTIL THEY GET AROUND TO FIXING MINE.
TAKATA RECALL. I LIVE IN ZONE A. MY LEXUS DEALER STILL HAS NO PARTS. YOUR REPAIR RATE CHART HAS NO LISTING FOR LEXUS. I TAKE THIS TO MEAN THAT NO LEXUS AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I FIND THIS VERY DISTURBING. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN I CAN EXPECT THE AIR BAG IN MY CAR TO BE REPLACED.

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL - THE RECALL LETTER FOR AIR BAG WAS ISSUED ON MAY 23, 2016 AND THE CAR MANUFACTURE LEXUS HAS NO REMEDY YET FOR PASSENGER AIR BAG REPLACEMENT. IT IS APPROACHING ONE YEAR SINCE THE RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO TAKE ALMOST ONE YEAR WITHOUT REMEDY.
TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO USE THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT SINCE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. THEREFORE, I CAN USE ONLY 3/4 OF THE CAR. THEY ARE TAKING WAY TOO LONG TO ADDRESS THIS. IF THEY CANNOT FIX IT, THEY SHOULD COMPENSATE ME FOR THE MISSING 1/4 OF THE CAR.
