Lexus RX350 owners have reported 9 problems related to air bag light on (under the air bag category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Airbag light in the dashboard blinking. At first, restarting the car will take care of the issue but recently, it just blinks continuously. I bought the car at carmax and car has 90k miles in it, it's a little over 30 days after I purchased at carmax when the airbag light started blinking. For no reason. I was not in any accident. If the light turned on within the 30 day period of purchase, I might have reported to carmax and they will fix it for free (within 30 days of buying the car). I went online and similar happens with other Lexus 350 cars. Maybe need a recall?.

I have noticed for sometime while driving with my wife. The airbag light on the panel for the passenger side does not come on. Sometimes it comes on after we have been driving for a while. I figure the airbag will not work if we were in an accident. I have no idea how many cars could be effected with this issue.
The passenger side airbag light is always saying off and displaying an icon on the instrument panel. This has been in the shop for at least 6 times over the past 4-5 months. It was last in the shop in January 2010 where they kept it for about 3 weeks and replaced the seat and the sensors . . . . We thought this would resolve the problem. . . But the light came on again this evening.
