 I have a lexus ls 460l and have received a safety recall notice from lexus regarding valve spring replacement. the dealer cannot take care of it until 1/24/11. i called the lexus hotline for assurance that there are no safety issues with the car between now and then and they said they could not give me that assurance. i am supposed to drive to charlotte, nc next week from washington, dc and i asked them if i'd be ok in the car. again, they said they could not provide assurances. so i guess i have a car that they cannot tell me can be safely used until after 1/24/11. what can the us government do to help or am i just out of luck?

SUSPENSION

 Multiple failures of air suspension struts. my first was on 9/11 at 50k mile, but 3 months out of warranty. now, within 30 days is a second failure. lexus did offer and i did accept on the first that i pay $500 for the part and the would provide labor. now with the second failure at 30 days on the left rear(first failure was the right rear), i began investigating owners forums, etc. this is a very common and major defect in the lexus air suspension models. numerous complaints and multiple failures from 12k miles up on forums. lexus again offered to provide labor if i would again pay another $500 for part. lexus by now knows this is a major defect as there are numerous complaints and they readily offer to everybody the same lexus participation offer. this must be deemed a recall as it does involve suspension and ultimately causes unstable cornering. lexus being able to pass this serious design defect on to the owners is not only deplorable, but should be stopped by your agency. i would appreciate a report with the number complaints filed with this safety problem as my next course of action will be a legal filing. thank you for any efforts.
