The air bag light came on in our 2007 Lexus is 250. We recently brought it into the Lexus of cherry hill (NJ) dealership for a couple other recall items, and figured that we better have this air bag issue looked over as soon as possible. Thinking it was an electrical/circuit problem, we were completely shocked when the Lexus representative stated that admittedly there was a manufacturer's defect in the air bag cable harness; it was made too short in the Lexus 2006 - 2007 is 250 models. After researching, I saw that this exact information is all over the internet, posted by other angry 2006 - 2007 Lexus is 250 owners. In summary, the air bags will now not deploy during vehicle impact, until we, the consumer, pay $3,500. 00 to get them fixed. I went around-and-around with Lexus of cherry hill and their corporate office in California, fighting, because I see no reason why, I, the consumer, must pay a hefty price for an extremely important safety defect that is 100% Lexus' flaw. I have managed to get my out-of-pocket cost down to $2,300. 00 now, but it is $2,300. 00 of my hard earned money which was saved for a 2015 vacation, that I absolutely should not have to put out for this major manufacturer defect. They recalled our car at no cost, for wiper blades and floor mats, but Lexus refuses to make right what they built wrong, which could cause life-threatening injuries or death. Has Toyota/Lexus learned nothing from gm?.

I was in a car accident a 4-car pile up. I was first rear ended by a chevy tahoe. He shoved me into the car in front of me and then they hit the car in front of them. My entire front was severely damaged to the point my car is totaled. The back end of my car was severely damaged as well. The airbags did not deploy. I was in a 2007 Lexus Is250.
