Two problems related to air bag on-off switch have been reported for the 2008 Lexus ES350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Passenger airbag light keep switching from on to off and off to on. We brought it in twice into Lexus to have them fix the problem, but they keep saying there is nothing wrong with it. I know they had problems with the 2007 Lexus ES 350. My 2008 is having the same problem. All I'm asking them is to have fix the problem, before any accident happen. My husband and I carpool everyday to work, and we are so afraid that if there is an accident, the airbag might not deploy because of the sensor problem and turning the airbag off.
Front passenger seat airbag sensor does not consistently detect the presence of a 100 pound adult women in the seat. Led indicator on the dashboard displays "passenger airbag off" even when a 100 lb adult person is in the passenger seat. Dealer says system operating normally. Toyota is unresponsive.
