What owners wrote
The 2010 lexus e35 I was a passenger in was rear ended in a multi-car accident on june 11, 2011, on interstate highway 80 in roxbury township, new jersey. There were three cars involved in this collision and the lexus I was riding in was the only car whose air bags failed to deploy. As result I sustained a severe case of whiplash involving my right shoulder and arm from which I continue to suffer almost constantly daily discomfort three years later.
Takata recall. Lexus has distributed an "interim notice" of this recall that advises owners not to operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. The letter states lexus is "taking this action to ensure your safety". In reality, the notice is an obvious attempt to protect lexus from any liability. This notice was sent three months ago, and yet there is no remedy available. The recommended solution is impractical for most families.
