2006 Lexus IS airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 26 of 26, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The dashboards and interior plastic panels in certain lexus and toyota models is melting in high humidity areas. This can cause the passenger airbag to not properly deploy in a collision due to the dashboard degrading. I have filed a complaint with lexus and asked for a letter stating the degradation of the dashboard will not interfere with the airbag deployment and I was declined. Lexus (toyota) is actively avoiding this safety issue. I would like to speak with someone from the federal safety agency about this safety issue please.
Takata recall
The SRS airbag light randomly comes on at variable times. After running the analysis with a bosch obd1200, it appears that the drivers side knee squib circuit is showing an open fault. When the seat is moved back, the wiring harness fails. Its believed that the factory installation of the wiring harness is too short, causing strain on the harness connector. This causes a fault on the airbag module and renders the drivers side knee airbag inoperable. This should be considered a safety concern and a recall should fix this issue.
Airbag light indicator is on and lexus insisted they replace the entire wiring harness for over 2k due to safety issues. The price of this repair for an electrical fault is obscene and is a common issue with this model of lexus according to owner forums.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 lexus is 350. The contact received a recall notification for the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v340000 (air bags) and stated that the part needed was unavailable to perform the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Tamara recall: would be very beneficial to know the ecact date the air bag fix will be available. Current uncertainty as to whether an air bag explosion will occur is unsettling.
Takata recall I have yet to have my airbag replaced it has been 6 months since the letter notification was sent out. I no longer feel safe driving the car with the possibility of the air bag going off during a collision and sending shrapnel in any direction. Dash board recall I have been on the wait list for almost 2 years and my dash board has yet to be replaced. The dash board has been getting worse every month. The dash board has become so shiny its almost impossible to drive the car on sunny days.
Takata inflators - cannot use car whenever I have more than 3 passengers. No solution provided after the recall alert received for 2 months. No news about when the repair can be done.

Takata recall
L-sb-0167-08 the SRS airbag light is on for awhile. This is a well known defect and issue with these vehicle. A faulty wire harness. There is tsb but it is only covered under warranty. I find it surprising that this is not considered a safety recall given the potential harm and risk of the airbag not deploying due to a faulty harness.
My lexus is 250 air bag light came on. I took it in for service and lexus of las vegas and they informed me that the wiring harness needs to be replaced because lexus designed the part wrong. I learned that if I'm in an accident that my safety system will not work. Lexus needs to replace my death trap now. Fix the wiring harness....

The airbag light is now constantly displaying red on my dashboard. Nalley lexus of smyrna ga stated that there is a short in the wire harness and it needs to be repaired at a cost of $3300 or the airbags will not work in the event of a crash. From reading online in the lexus owners blogs, this is very common and I have read in the forums that lexus, in 2006, 2007, installed a wiring harness that was too short. The harness plugs become loose and in some cases the wire insulation becomes chafed and shorts out the airbag system. I am not aware where the poster got their information but I, along with others think this is should be a saftey recall.
The passenger side airbag warning light on my vehicle turned on. When I took my vehicle to lexus for a recall I had them check why the light was on. They told me the air bag wiring harness needs to be replaced at a cost of $2546. They also said this is a common issue that lexus is well aware of and issued a tsb for it in 2008 but would only cover the repair under the initial warranty period because they had not received enough complaints to make a recall. Well now 6 years after they issued the tsb I'm sure there has to be enough complaints because a simple google search shows how many cars are affected by this problem. The biggest issue is the airbags will not deploy in the event of and accident until the repair is made. I contacted lexus corporate twice and both times they were not willing to help. I believe lexus should cover this repair since it is a major safety concern and lexus is well aware of the problem. *tr updated 8/30/2017
