TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM LEXUS ON MARCH 7 FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. NO FIX WAS PROVIDED AND WHEN I CALLED THEY DID NOT KNOW IF IT WOULD BE 1 MONTH OR 6 MONTHS UNTIL A FIX WAS AVAILABLE. THEIR SOLUTION WAS " DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT". THIS IS A STUPID AND UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE. THIS TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL HAS BEEN OUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND SOMEONE IN TOYOTA/LEXUS HAS KNOW ABOUT IT? SOMEONE HAS BEEN COVERING UP THE MESS AT LEXUS? THIS BORDERS ON FRAUD AND AS A MINIMUM SOMEONE HIGH IN THEIR ORGANIZATION HAS LIED TO KEEP THIS UNDER COVER FOR THIS LONG. NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE IS NOT AN OPTION. I HAVE PURCHASE 3 LEXUS IN THE PAST BUT THIS WAS MY LAST.
