The contact's son owned a 2007 Lexus Is250. The contact stated while her son was driving 15 mph through an intersection, another speeding vehicle that did not have the right-of-way, crashed into the passenger's side of the vehicle, causing the front end of the vehicle to crash into another vehicle. The contact's son was knocked unconscious. The air bags failed to deploy. There was no warning light illuminated. The emergency services escorted the contact's son to the nearest hospital, where he passed away a few days later. The vehicle was towed and totaled. A police report was filed.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.
My vehicle has a sticky dashboard and has a reflection to my front windshield. When it Is sunny, that reflection Is very blinding when I’m driving. My vehicle Is available for inspection if needed. I am scared for myself and my passengers when I’m driving. My vision Is 20/20 and this reflection Is very bothersome. The Issue has been confirmed by my local mechanic. I called the dealership and they also confirmed the Issue, but they were unable to assist me and recommended me to file a complaint with NHTSA. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer (I offered to do so but they did not confirm an appointment for any further assistance), police, insurance, etc. There were no warning lamps, or any notices for this Issue.
Unknown the airbag light continues to come on and off, also the check vsc keeps coming on. Not sure what the Issue Is. I feel unsafe and uncomfortable with this occurring!.
The dash Is shining and obstructs my view of the road.
Takata recall. I bought my car only two years ago after my first Lexus lasted me upwards of 350,000 miles. Keeping this in mind I found my 2007 Is250. I was aware after buying the car (but 2 days outside of my dealership warranty *fishy*) about the passenger air bag recall. The dashboard situation Is harsh. There Is a very chemical smell coming from my dashboard, it feels and peels off like the foam under it. It gets ripped and torn to shreds from very little friction. I have read that some people became very congested and ill from this smell. It Is very pungent. Now for my engine, this Is a big one. As I was driving, my car starts to make a loud but hallow clunking noise. For a long time I thought it was my brakes, so when I got them changed it went away, for a little. Now today as I was driving my car (which Is an automatic) completely stalled in head on traffic. Lucky me, ive driven many manual cars so I knew what to do. When I turned my car back on, it held idle at 4000 rpm. While going 20 mph it holds at 5-6000 rpm. As well as my miles per gallon/tank drop dramatically. While the car Is in idle in my driveway, it shakes like a freezing baby throwing a temper tantrum.
The cover over the front passenger Is detached and hanging open. This happened some time following a recall repair. I am concerned that something Is wrong. Both front wheel ball joints failed and I was told that this was a dangerous situation. I had them replaced as I was traveling and not able to go to a Lexus dealer.
The ars light comes on and will not go off, was advised that Lexus no longer makes this part so I can not get it fixed this was a part of a previous campaign recall but I am still having the Issue.
Hello. I have this 2007 Lexus Is250 that the dashboard and all 4 door panels are tearing apart, braking, melting, but worse for my safety and my wife that we both drive the car, and we feel that the front passenger airbag going to come apart (not safe)because looks like te whole piece will came out of the dashboard. I know Lexus said that they replace some but mine wasn't called and the problem Is totally visible there. Need help please.
Dangerous airbag in car, known Issue that dealer refuses to fix for me.
Takata recall - it has been over 12 months with no updates or offers for rental cars or settlement whilst I am still driving around with a compromised vehicle.
Takata recall. . . . I have been contacting Lexus of orlando in orlando florida since August last year for them to complete recall but continued telling me that they do not have the parts to complete the recall estimated time for parts to arrive was around December of 2016. . . It Is now March of 2017 and they are still unable to supply a safe airbag for my vehicle.
Takata recall bought this car from carmax and was aware there was a recall for the airbags. We were told to contact the company and we could have them replaced at a Lexus dealership. Every time I go online to see if the airbags are available I get a message stating "recall incomplete, remedy not yet available. " I have been trying to get this taken care of since August, this Is now November. Getting fed-up!.
Takata recall it has been since may 2016 that Lexus knew that our airbag(s) had been recalled. We were notified with an update on June 9, 2016 that they would fix this but did not have a remedy yet. This was over 6 months ago and we are still unable to have passengers ride in the front seat of our car. This Is extremely disappointing and it Is not acceptable for a remedy to take so long to occur- even if the takata recall affected many vehicles.
The dashboard Is cracked, melted, and sticky. I had to cover it up with a new material for cosmetic reason. Also, value of the car decreased by $1000 dollars for the damage. Second, there Is a lot of creaking in the car. Third, the alternator died at 120,00 miles.
My 2007 Lexus Is250 dashboard has sticky/melting Issue. While driving during summer hot day in texas, the melting dashboard generates light reflection on windshield makes me difficult to see the front objects. It also makes me feel unsafe because airbags just under it. Not sure airbags get deployed in the right time or not if an accident happens. Lexus should recall dashboards.
Took car to dealership due to shiny and sticky dashboard. Was told this Is a known problem but will not repair under good will since warranty has passed. Dashboard Is extremely sticky, will this cause air bag problems during an accident? the shiny surface also reflects and makes driving difficult in sunlight.
The dashboard panel has deteriorated to the point that it Is soft, tacky, and a significant glare Is reflected onto the windshield reducing a driver's visibility. The deterioration continues to worsen spreading throughout the dashboard where the passenger airbag Is enclosed.
