I purchased a Lexus ES 350 after much research to find the safest car with advanced airbags. Lexus has a dual airbag on the passenger side which is why I chose this car. However it is not safe for me as the airbag off light comes on at times , so in an accident it may not do me any good. When there is a big bump in the road it immediately says off on occasions, other times I do nothing and it says off. When this happens, we need to pull over and turn car off and restart to get it to say on again, or sometimes I bounce hard and it will kick back on. When I was tested in car at Lexus, which they were very nice to me I might add, I weighed in at about 87 pounds and this is where the problem lies, as I really weigh 115 pounds. They said it could take 6 months or a year before they can get it solved, due to govt. Regulations with the faulty occupant sensory system.
