Takata inflator . Passenger airbag inflating due to heat. Dash bumped. Looks like it's going to explode eventually.
I have noticed the air bag cover on the passenger side is popping up and looks like it is going to explode. Referencing another complaint # 11118471. Car has not been involved in any accident.
I have noticed the air bag cover on the passenger side is popping up and looks like it is going to explode
Passenger side air bag cover is bulging seems to be caused by pressure.
Front passenger side airbag on the dah board is cracked and slightly protruding I am afraid this will explode while travelling checked with lexus they say it's not under warranty and there is no recall - anyone had information on this would appreciate it
Similar to other complaints I have seen online and on this site, my front passenger side air bag is bulging and appears to be partially coming out. Picture included. I have raised this to my local lexus dealership service on a couple of occasions, and they do not seem concerned and will not do anything about it. We are quite concerned about this air bag either deploying when it should not, or not deployed when it needs to. It seems to be failing. It also appears to be getting worse over time.
The airbag cover on the passenger side of the car is starting to lift,seems like pressure is causing the lift. I looks like its ready to blow out.
Takata recall. My airbag has defects. I called lexus and they say it is not under the recall group. But I do not feel safe when traveling with passengers specially my children. This thing is basically ready to break off. This is a security concern.
The edges around the passenger side airbag cracking and the condition keeps deteriorating as time goes by. I'm worried about the safety of my family as we use the car all the time. We contacted a local lexus dealer and we told the same thing as rest of the folks experienced with dealers.
