Six problems related to air bag have been reported for the 2007 Lexus RX350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Tl the contact owns a 2007 Lexus Rx350. The contact stated that a garbage truck t-boned the driver's side of his vehicle. All of the air bags deployed except the curtain air bags on the driver's side and front passenger side. The driver sustained minor bruising, which required medical treatment. A police report was filed. The insurance company towed the vehicle to a yard and a repair facility for inspection. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.
My dashboard is cracked over the passenger airbag. I am the original owner and the car has been in an indoor garage for 10 years. Car has been serviced every 3000 miles for 10 years.
Air bag failure light on, air conditioning does not work, broken or cracked board almost everywhere, air conditioning does not work, maintenance light always on despite mechanical overhaul.
My car has been mostly stationary and kept in my garage for 3 years. This year I experienced the dashboard and ignition area melting and cracking. I feel it may affect the functionality of the airbag. Also, I do not know if there may be some sort of chemical release that is not healthy to me or my passengers. Visibility is also a problem since there is a severe glare from the dash on to my windshield.
Dash on RX 350 is cracking significantly. This cracking is so extreme that my wife was tempted to place a cover over the dash that would interfere with proper inflation of the airbag. I am concerned that other owners will place covers, tape, adhesives, or other measures over the bags and this could lead to an injury.
The covering on my passenger air bag is flaking off and dashboard cracking causing concern of premature deployment.
