Air Bag Problems of Lexus ES330

This is similar to the complain another car owner has filed. My car was purchased new from the Lexus of pleasonton,CA dealership. I have had no major accident or no airbag deployment. Car has been lightly used with 80k miles on the odometer currently. The airbag container on the passenger dash has progressively cracked at the topical seams over time. I have been told an airbag should not look like this. I am concerned about an untimely deployment and if the container will get worse. At no time has the airbag been manipulated, repaired, etc since my ownership.

Tamara recall on my airbags,never repaired. I got into an accident and airbags didn't come out. Have to replace brakes every few months on this car also.

Airbag has partially opened and I am afraid it will explode at any given moment.

Front passenger airbag cover appears to be separated along the seam near windshield on dashboard and there is a wider gap on that side vs the side closest passenger. I've not seen this before in any of my other Lexus vehicles and it's cause for concern of safety as a result.

The airbag cover on the passenger side of the car is starting to crack and lift,seems like pressure is causing the lift. I looks like its ready to blow out.

No one has notified me of the recall of my Toyota Lexus 2004 model 330 to let us know if we need the airbags replaced.

Without any incidents, our dashboard light for the airbags came on. The dealer says the entire part is in an electrical housing in the passenger seat and it to be replaced as a whole part at a cost of $4000. A separate mechanic we have used long term says it is the entire drivers seat that needs to be replaced not the passenger side and this one is at a cost of $6000. They both state it's not part of the recent airbag recalls. They know the airbags have not inflated, yet cannot guarantee that they will inflate in the event of an accident. The vehicle has been in our possession as original owners and no one else drives this vehicle. It has never been in an accident or fender bender or anything. The light came on one morning after it had been parked in our driveway all night. We don't park on the street.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 Lexus es350. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v340000 (air bags) and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. The dealer and the interim recall notice from the manufacturer did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. The manufacturer could not provide an estimated date for when the vehicle would receive the recall repair. The contact was not experiencing a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Takata recall. My airbag has defects. I called Lexus and they say it is not under the recall group. But I do not feel safe when traveling with passengers specially my children. This thing is basically ready to break off. This is a security concern.

My dashboard has severe cracks all around the airbag. That is the only area on my dashboard with cracks. My concern is that my airbag may explode and injure me or my passengers. I took my vehicle to the dealership and was informed by servicemen that the dashboard needed to be changed. They gave me the number to Lexus. So, I contacted them on April 27, 2015 and again on may 11, 2015 and filed 2 incident reports to no avail, they finally contacted me on may 14, 2015 to inform me there is nothing they can do for me. So that is why I'm filing this vehicle safety complaint it shouldn't matter when I purchased my vehicle as much as that vehicle cost I should never have a problem with the dashboard cracking around the airbag. I want my vehicle dashboard repaired for my safety and the safety of my passengers.

Passenger airbag on the dashboard is opening, and my car has never been involved in an impact.

The air bags on the front passenger side is protruding out of the dash. This could be a hazard because the air bag appears that it could be released at anytime.

The area around the dashboard airbag is cracked and beginning to bulge. This is the only area in the entire car affected.

Around January 2014 (but it could have started sooner) I noticed the front passenger airbag started looking like the edges are peeling away from rest of the dashboard. This has gotten progressively worse. The area around the airbag is pulling away and the airbag itself looks so stretched I fear the airbag is going to deploy. I am afraid to have anyone sit in the front passenger seat. I worry that any bump could cause airbag deployment injuring someone.

No accident- the passenger air bag- the cover is raise and the edges turned up as if ready to open-we fear damage to the passenger or driver -the news today said there is a recall-what do we do.

I was leaving a car wash (at a busy intersection in penfield, NY), the "car wash" light turned green, I put it in gear and lightly pressed on the gas pedal to approach the workers for them to dry and vacuum the car. There was no floor mat in the drivers front side so that they could vacuum that area. The car speed forward out of control I tried to steer between 2 steel safety post, missed the workers, crossed the sidewalk and 5 lanes of traffic toward a telephone pole, hit the curb, flipped over, I lost consciousness. The car stopped right side up pointing toward the car wash. Car wash employees (and other witnesses) rushed across the street and when I woke up one of the attendants was removing my seat belt and pulling me out through the broken window, there were many witnesses who thought it was a miracle that I was still alive and that the car did not hit any workers, pedestrians or drivers of other vehicles which had now all stopped . No air-bags were released? I was rushed to the hospital . I was released 4 hours later stiff, sore, bruised, minor concussion and told to stay around for a week (we were planning to return to FL the next day) to make sure that there are no serious problems. Police were on site, did a report, fireman were there to clean up the leaks. My insurance CO. Has totaled the car. I feel that Lexus should evaluate this car to determine the actual cause, it was not the floor mat, it was in the back seat, nor was it operator error, the car was accelerating out of control and very hard to steer. If the "Lexus" had a mind then it had gone crazy? I have talked to the local Lexus dealer who told me that there are no recalls on this vehicle and read me the party line that there are no problems with the 2005 Es330 Lexus, it's operator error? I guess the other 38 owners of the 2005 Es330 that have postings on this site are all wrong. Based on toyotas (Lexus) attitude I will never buy another product made by Toyota. I am happy to be alive, thank god.

This car was purchased from the Lexus of memphis dealership as used in 2010. I have had no accidents or airbag deployment. I am. Not aware of any a evident history from the previous owner. The airbag container on the passenger dash has progressively cracked at the topical seams over time. I have been told an airbag should not look like this. I am concerned about an untimely deployment and if the container will get worse. At no time has the airbag been manipulated, repaired, etc since my ownership.
