Passenger occupancy sensor error code was detected and now airbag light is turned on the dashboard. I took it to the dealership and called the corporate office to help pay for it and they denied the request. The dealer is charging $1800 for the part and $800 for labor. I just got my transmission rebuilt and now dealing with airbag issue. There's been a recall for another air bag issue on the passenger side which the corporate took care of this they will not help with the occupancy sensor not working. Please assist us on how they expect the consumers to pay such a price to drive with working airbag. I believe there's been many es350 2007 model that's been affected by this same problem and I strongly feel it should be part of the recall.

Takata recall and ecu. My air bag light came on not registering the passenger seat when someone sits in it. No oe rarely sits in that seat, the time te light came on noone was in it. The car was still. Went to lexus dealer cost me 450 for them to calibrate it. Still issue states it the ecu being faulty and it cost 2100 to fix, for a sensor thats crazy, this is not a typical wear and tear issue, this should be a recall too. Pay too much for a lexus to have faulty part especially since this model has had over 5 recalls in the last 10 years since the car was made ridiculous, this should be a lexus repair not car purchaser.
Takata recall although it is about 4 month since this recall and issue was reported there is no words yet when this issue will be resolved. We are a family of 5 and have to use the front seat, but according to the letter we have received it is very dangerous to sit on the front passenger seat. The air bag light came on a few days ago. Please, advise.
