Takata recall- took my car to the Lexus dealership in honolulu hi for the recall on the passenger side airbag which they claimed it was completed and resolved. Two days later the airbag light on dash would blink. I called them to let them know and we made an appt. When I took the Lexus back they did a diagnostic test and claimed the drivers side airbag needed to be repaired at a $4,000. 00. I feel it should be repaired at $0. 00. If you can, please help. The service manager there is not helpful at all.

My airbag light is on. I did some research online and Lexus had issued a TSB for the airbag light for 2006-2007 (some 2008) Lexus is models. This TSB was only covering 5 years or 70k miles. I'm currently at 90k miles and this airbag light is on. Apparently the airbag harness the cars were fitted with were too short, and causes a fault in the system when one of the connectors related to the airbag system gets loosened up. This disables the entire airbag system from what I have read. This seems like an extremely unsafe manufacturing fault, and should have been a recall as opposed to a TSB limited to a warranty period.

Takata recall. After letting the Lexus dealership do the recall on my airbags, I received a airbag light shortly after and let them know I didn't have the issue until after they serviced the airbag. The issue is stated that they made the harness too short in my year car and Lexus is not taking responsibility for their error which is putting my life and my child's life in danger if we were to get in a accident with my car. The airbags are disabled due to this faulty harness. When contacting corporate they only offered to help with $500 of the cost while the dealership wants $3500 to fix. This is absolutely ridiculous. Why should I have to pay for a issue that Lexus knows was there mistake. This is a major safety concern and should be addressed immediately!.

Air bag light turned on after having the fuel pressure sensor recall fixed . As soon as I picked up my car that afternoon and turned it on the light was on when the light was not on before until after they fixed what was needed to be fixed. Now they want me to pay around $2500 I am a college student and can't afford that and have seen it is a problem with a lot of people. And the cars warranty won't cover it due to the 72 months or 70,000 mile warranty my car is at 80,000 I feel that there shouldn't be any problems yet like that.

I bought my car used in 2015 and about 1,000 miles after driving it off the lot the airbag light came on. I took it to the local Lexus dealership and they diagnosed it as the driver's knee airbag and said the entire airbag wire harness needed to be replaced and quoted me $3,500. I looked up the issue and found that Lexus had previously issued a tsib on it (l-sb-0167-08). I also read many owners around that time were able to get it fixed under warranty (72mo or 70k miles). Unfortunately that expired for me 2 years before I even bought the car. I'm very frustrated that they know this is an issue, that it's related to airbag safety and they are still asking me to pay thousands. It's been two years and the light is still on. The dealership told me several times that I wasn't affected by the taketa recall but I later got the recall notice.
