What owners say
Wiring harness defect renders SRS/seatbelt pretension system inoperable. Lexus refuses to replace wiring harness without charging $3,000. The issue is listed under a tsb by lexus and was known to them.
Vehicle was stationary and sat overnight. Upon starting car SRS light came on and was diagnosed with trouble code dtc 1861 that resulted in a knee squib malfunction due to a wiring harness issue. This requires a new wiring harness that will cost over $2500. Lexus knows this is an issue as they have issued a tsb for it but refuses to issue a recall or do it as a goodwill service. This is a major safety issue especially due to lexus realizing there is an issue but refusing to step up and correct the issue.
Takata recall- took my car to the lexus dealership in honolulu hi for the recall on the passenger side airbag which they claimed it was completed and resolved. Two days later the airbag light on dash would blink. I called them to let them know and we made an appt. When I took the lexus back they did a diagnostic test and claimed the drivers side airbag needed to be repaired at a $4,000.00. I feel it should be repaired at $0.00. If you can, please help. The service manager there is not helpful at all.
The airbag light on the cluster is on. Happened randomly one morning upon start up of vehicle and hasn't went away even after resetting the battery. I and several other 2nd generation is owners from club lexus have the same issue and it is attributed to a loose wire harness. In the event of a collision there's a high risk that the airbag will not deploy. Please fix this as this is a serious and fatal issue. It was a fairly well know issues amongst is owners and this I feel that lexus should be responsible for the fix.
When the car was turned on, our airbag light came on and stayed on. Scanlon lexus of ft myers, fl evaluated the problem and concluded that the driver-side knee airbag is the problem and that the wiring harness needs to be replaced. They also stated that lexus is aware of the issue for this model and that the design is defective. However, the car is outside of a warranty, so they will do nothing to fix it for free. The cost was approximately 2100 just for parts (not including 8 hours of labor). They also stated that when the light is on, the entire airbag safety system will not deploy. This is a huge safety concern that is not caused by normal wear and tear on a vehicle, but by faulty design. Therefore, I believe this should be a safety recall.
