2008 Lexus IS F Airbags Problems

"TAKATA RECALL" - I RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM LEXUS IN EARLY 2017 STATING THAT MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF A RECALL DUE TO FAULTY TAKATA INFLATORS. THE STATEMENT SHOWED THAT MY VEHICLES AIRBAG REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE RECALL COULD BE DELAYED BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS WERE PUT INTO CATEGORIES BASED ON THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE AND STATING THE CHANCE OF DEGRADATION BY WHERE YOU LIVED. THE INFO STATED THEY WOULD BE IN TOUCH WITH ME AT A LATER DATE WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED TO BE MORE AT RISK. THIS WAS SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I NOW LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE IT IS VERY HOT, AND SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED AN TAKEN INTO THE DEALER FOR ASSESSMENT AND/OR REPAIR, I CANNOT REGISTER IT FOR THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT. ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

TAKATA RECALL. WE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THIS AIRBAG ON MAY 2016. FAST FORWARD TO MARCH 2017 AND A REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL IS FINALLY AVAILABLE!! WHEN I CALLED MY AUTHORIZED LEXUS DEALER IN CONCORD, CA I WAS TOLD THAT I'LL BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD IT COULD TAKE 2-3 WEEKS. WHAT'S THE POINT OF ADVISING THEIR CUSTOMERS THAT A REMEDY IS AVAILABLE IF THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT PREPARED TO FIX THE ISSUE WHEN WE'VE BEEN WAITING ALMOST A YEAR FOR A RESOLUTION!!

TAKATA RECALL - IT IS TAKING TOO LONG FOR A REMEDY. I HAVE HAD TO USE ANOTHER CAR FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. A FIX WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE THIS MONTH. HOW WILL I BE COMPENSATED FOR EXPENSES, MILEAGE, AND/OR WEAR & TEAR ON THE OTHER VEHICLE?

PLUG FOR KNEE AIRBAG BECOMES LOOSE AND TRIGGERS AIRBAG LIGHT. BASED ON DEALER FEEDBACK THIS IS A WIRE HARNESS PLUG ISSUE AND WILL CAUSE THE KNEE AIRBAG TO NOT INFLATE. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN CAUSE BY A POSSIBLE DESIGN/MANUFACTURING DEFECT.
