Recall on my Lexus tx, where originally I was working with the dealership until a remedy was established but it’s been 4 months and still nothing. Then the Lexus of Orlando dealership has lied and treated me like crap because I don’t feel safe in a car that has a high ticket price. Refusing to do anything to help me get out of the car with statements such as”you’re going to have to eat the depreciation” this is sickening to know I have to deal with this, not to mention my insurance company has threatened to drop coverage on the car!

The manufacturer, Lexus, is unable to remedy an airbag safety recall (24LB05/24LA05) for my vehicle in a timely manner. Additionally, they are unwilling to provide a comparable 7-seat loaner. Our insurance has also threatened to drop coverage for the vehicle as it is unsafe to drive. In the meantime, we are unable to drive or sell the vehicle.
Failure of component are the curtain shield airbags. The safety of my customers are at risk when car is being rented out due to this concern the Lexus TX has not been in use, for safety concerns. This issue is a known safety risk which was known to the public on June 20th, 2024.
I am filing a complaint about my new Lexus TX350. I purchased this car new and then began reading about a recall. I finally received information from Lexus about the recall, several weeks after it had made the news. There is no date set for a fix. Is there any recourse for owners of an expensive vehicle that is no longer in production? Thank you for your time, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Am I in danger; to include my passengers due to this recall curtain air bags? How long is the manufacturer allowed to remedy this recall. I am concerned and worried!

Driver and passenger Curtain airbags may not deploy as intended. The vehicle would not have been purchased and driven around had this been known at the time of purchase. Lexus has no remedy and this is completely Unacceptable.
Lexus has failed to provide a timely repair for this simple recall issue, and has not provided any remedy or free loaner car. Their dealers rep has said to just "drive with the windows up, and you will be fine".
THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE YET AND MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AS A CONSUMER. ADDITIONALLY I CAN NOT TRADE IN MY CAR TO PURCHASE A SAFER VEHICLE.
unknown - my car is in the dealership since June 25, 2024. No remedy yet
The recall was not communicated to me as consumer, when i saw online I was notified and then when called dealer i purchased car i was told ‘we only sell call not part of manufacture process call corporate” and after calling lexus corporate i was told i could get loaner car since i dont feel safe but the dealer on the call with corporate said “if not front air bag its not big deal” for a saftey recall. I told corporate since this is recorded call they have proof of the dealer service associate saying this to me and corporate said just please hang up and we will notify regional offices. I have yet to hear back, i dont think i should be told this recall isnt big deal if they have put hold on selling this car to public nor should be told its okay to drive. I would be given either loaner but dealer does not want to provide this or 55 a day but there is no lexus anywhere you can get for 55 dollars a day. There is not set remedy nor notification to the customer. This is beyond frustrating and do not feel safe by this car and dealer is telling me this recall is not big deal which is very inaccurate and misleading.
