TAKATA RECALL: CONSIDERING WHEN WE WERE NOTIFIED BACK IN JANUARY OF 2017 IT IS NOW AUGUST. LEXUS SHOULD HAVE THESE FIXED BY NOW. THIS IS TOO LONG.

MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE BEEN ADVISED NOT TO CARRY A PASSENGER AND AM OFFERED CONDOLENCES FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, BUT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR NINE MONTHS WITH NO RESOLUTION. THAT IS A LONG TIME TO EITHER NOT CARRY A PASSENGER OR WORRY IF I DO.
