My passenger airbag light came on. I took it to the dealer and was told it would be very costly to examine and correct because the passenger seat would have to be removed, also the technician told me that my passenger airbag may not work if I were in a crash. I can't afford the cost to repair.

My dash is experiencing cracks in the dash at the air bag location. The dash is falling apart and has several cracks the length of the dash and close to the air bag location. I keep my vehicle maintained and most people would say I am excessive about keeping my vehicle clean and looking show room condition. My dash is also cracking around the radio area. These are small cracks but are still there. I am concerned about the effectiveness of air bags that come from behind the dash to operate. I believe this from direct affects of how the air bags where mounted behind the dash. We all the recalls on airbags I also concerned that my vehicle has a affect or defective air bags. Since the air bags are located behind the dash and are part of the dash panel I feel this should be investigated to ensure that the air bags are not leaking or affecting the dash panel. With so many complaints about cracking dash panels in lexus vehicles which are suppose to be a high quality vehicle I feel it should not be cracking or coming apart and that lexus should replace the dash panel and air bags to ensure safety to driver and front passenger. My vehicle looks show room condition right now and has a little over 100,000 miles on it and has been serviced at our local lexus dealer. The dealer costs are much more than private repair station but being afraid to take these repair center that the dealer will say the warranty is void or that I did something wrong. I love my lexus and it runs just as good as it did the first day I purchased it. My dealer has been helpful and courtesy to me every time I go in for service. Just concerned about the dash and air bags. Thanks for your time and consideration.

I took my car into park place lexus in plano to have them fix my air bag. It is not functioning. The light shows that the air bag will not come on. After having the dealer try to fix the air bag first at a cost of $99.00 then a coat of $230.00 it is still not fixed. What can I do to have this faulty part fixed?I do not believe that it is something I should be paying for.
