1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 10/28/2015

My car is used to drop off and pick up children from school and grocery shopping, and it has never been in an accident; however, one day I had just got in the car and started it up (my adult son was in passenger seat) and the air bag light came on my dash and the passenger air bag light shows it is not on. My son weighs almost 200 pounds. We even had him get out of the car and sit back down again, thinking the seat didn't register for some reason, but nothing changed. This is a serious safety issue, as if ever involved in a crash, the airbag will not deploy to protect any passenger sitting in the front seat. Also, the dash of my car is cracking and huge spider web cracks have now begun to take over the dash on both passenger and driver side. I keep it garage most of the time so have no idea why this has started happening either. Can send photos if they are needed, just let me know.

2 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2012

The airbag light started flashing. I had it looked at by the Lexus dealership. I needed to replace the whole airbag in the driver's seat, and my car had never been in an accident. They said it wasn't safe to drive and the airbag would not deploy if I were in an accident the way it was when I brought it in.

3 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 11/15/2007

After taking my wife to work on a rainy day in her 2007 Lexus Rx350, I stopped in our driveway, which is on an incline, to work on the windshield wipers to try to set them to the "automatic" mode.   suddenly, the car lurched forward and went through the open garage door, through the garage, through the back wall of the garage, and finally came to a stop close to the back wall of the family room.   I tried to stop the car with the brakes, but I could not.   I tried three times unsuccessfully.   the air bags did not deploy.   luckily , I was not hurt, but the back wall of the garage and items along the back wall were demolished as well as items in the family room.
