2006 Lexus IS 350 airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
When I first received my is I noticed that my dash was somewhat sticky/tacky and overtime I began to shiny/sticky dash causes a safety issue with glare on the windshield while driving and a degraded dash can result in possible degradation to the passenger front air bag because the cracks from the dash could potentially set off the airbags prematurely.
Dashboard has become sticky and shiny in appearance. Brought to dealer for repair, was told it is not covered under any warranty. I voiced concern over airbag failures due to the stick dashboard. It is also not safe to drive in sunny conditions.
There is a known issue with the vehicle wiring harness for the 2006-2008 wiring harness resulting in a fault with the airbags. Lexus has issued a technical service information bulletin for this issue (l-sb-0167-08) however no recalls have been issued. This fault causes the airbags to fail and not deploy in the event of an accident. *tr.....updated 12/03/15 *bf updated 8/23/2017
