10 Air Bag problem of the 2008 Lexus IS250

Failure Date: 01/01/2018

Takata airbag. Passenger airbag trouble light comes on dash intermittently when stationary and while in motion on street/highway. When I recently had the takata airbag recall done, the dealership quoted me $2,100 to replace the wiring harness. I researched on-line and found this to be universally occurring problem with Lexus Is250 models and others 2006 and later. The defective part is the connector from the wiring harness coming loose at the plug into the airbag. Since this a universal safety issue and related to a defective part (rather than a mechanical part subject to wear/tear) shouldn't this be a recall? see following link for more details, but it is pretty common lore in Lexus circles that is happening at low miles as well as high miles. Not sure why consumers are paying for this flaw when out of warranty. . Read more...

32 Air Bag problem of the 2007 Lexus IS250

Failure Date: 01/12/2017

Takata recall I am getting very concerned about the replacement date for this recall. I feel like we have been patient, but it has been well over a year. I spoke with our local dealership today. I had to tell them that my letter stated that we are in zone b. Apparently, zone b is currently being repaired. However, they had no idea when I might receive the letter that the repair was available in our area. I realize this was a very large recall, but I am very concerned about the safety of my family. The dealership stated that 'humid' areas were being replaced first because they were having most of the issues with injuries . . . I have not seen anything that stated that humidity had anything to do with the horrible things that are happening with the airbag deployment. Thankfully we have had no accidents at this time. But, I would really like to know at least a timeframe for replacement . . . . And know that it was being done in the very near future.
