general problems of the 2006 Lexus IS

There Is a common Issue with these makes and models with the drivers side knee air bag having Issues with connecting which cause the srs light go on the dashboard. I called Lexus corporate office and local dealer and they said there was a recall but it expired in 2020. From the research I did, this was a small window and there shouldn’t have been an expiration on the recall for something that Is a safety hazard. Because of this, they are charging thousands for this Issue that has affected hundreds of thousands of vehicles.

My 2006 Lexus Is350 Is subject to NHTSA recall number 16v340, for passenger airbag replacement. According to the diections on the NHTSA website shown in the following link: https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/rcl/2019/rcrit-19v741-5332. Pdf the dash pad needs to be removed to access the airbag and perform the repair. Ive contacted my 3 local Lexus dealers and was told in various ways that they do not remove the dash to accomplish the repair but instead just remove the glove compartment and associated parts to access the airbag. I wanted the dash replaced (it was cracked) when the old dash was removed to do this recall repair. Since the dealers do not actually remove the dash, I was told this was not possible. One dealer told me that for an extra $350, the service dept. Would do the repair according to the above linked instructions. I have notified lyndss tor at lyndzee. Tor@Toyota. Com as well as Toyota quality compliance quality_compliance@Toyota. Com and recieved no reply. I hope the NHTSA can enforce the above linked instructions so that the airbag replacement can be conducted in a proper and safe fasion.

My dash has cracked and melted due to a manufacturing defect. The Lexus dealers who I have contacted to perform the safety recall for the defective airbags will not replace the cracked dash at the same time. Having the passenger airbag deploy through a cracked dash Is an apparent safety Issue. Please investigate this.

Many people have have Issues with the srs warning light coming on and not going off. This Issue seems to stem from harness connection Issues that Lexus Is aware of and have acknowledged. This needs to be fixed ASAP!.

Was in a car accident and air bigs didnt go off.

My dashboard Is melting due to a manufacturing defect. The glare from my dashboard makes driving difficult as the glare can blind you. The chemical smell from the melting Is horrible. I have placed a dash cover on which has helped but if I am in an accident this dash cover will impede the correct deployment of my airbag on the passenger side. Also the inside door panels are melting and are becoming a "putty" like substance. Everything sticks to it. Including my clothes. While driving I have had to jerk my arm from the rest on the door trim to remove it. This can cause my vehicle to possibly swerve off the road or into oncoming traffic. Warranty enhancement program – zld and customer support program zlz were the remedies for this Issue. But these have expired. The manufacturer will not honor this or consider this a safety / hazardous Issue and correct it now. This Is a safety Issue and needs to be addressed.

Hello ,I am in seattle washington. I’m emailing about my Lexus Is250 2006. A few months ago I took my car to the dealership to get the passenger airbag recall done. Immediately after getting that recall fixed. My airbag light on my vehicle came on. We did not think anything of it, we thought it would come off over time. Time has gone by the light has not gone off. So today we took our vehicle to Lexus of bellevue. They told us that there was an Issue with the driver side airbag harness. Something about tension on it or it deteriorating. The dealership Is now saying that my car Is not safe. That none of the safety features airbags or seatbelts will work due to this light being on. They will not be covered because there Is no recalls for this harness. I have done much research online this Is a common well known Issue with Lexus. Now my car Is a paperweight. I do not feel safe driving my family or disabled family member in this vehicle. This part Is located under the dash and has absolutely nothing to do with how me and my husband maintain or take care of our vehicle. This Is Lexuses Issue and should be addressed and recalled. Any help in where or how to address this further. Or any help and how to take this higher would be appreciated. At this point Is my car totaled? safe to be on the road? ok to be insured? they are charging us 200, just to tell us the Issue. Not to fix it, didn’t even take the dash apart. How do they know even know what the Issue Is without taking it apart? to fix this Issue it will be a total of over 600. Help!!!.

A known problem in this year of Lexus Is250. The knee bag wiring harness was constructed too short (Lexus has a TSB regarding this, # l-sb-0007-19). The airbag warning light will often come on and stay on. When the light Is on the airbag system Is inoperable. Having an inoperable airbag system Is a great safety concern. A mechanic at a local shop used the scan tool and identified the airbag code as related to the wiring harness for the knee air bag. This should be a recall since it Is a known problem and it renders the vehicle unsafe due to inoperable air bags. If this Isn't an unsafe problem justifying a recall I dont know what Is. Thank you.

Before the airbage recall the airbage light did not came on, now since the airbage recall was done on 7/24/20 at valley Lexus modesto CA. Now the aitbage light came on and I call the valley Lexus they told me the airbage light Is not part off the airbage recall, and they told me I have paid for dino, but I did not cause the light to came on. Since valley Lexus does not want to fix it can 2094039160.

I got an accident, try to save deer and fox but brake didn't work properly and dis-balanced the car and my car roll over few time and hit from front and back but no airbag deployed, and stability control didn't work.

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 recall.
