Consumer Description

THERE HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE, UNFORTUNATELY THE LIGHT WENT OUT, AND NO CODE WAS CAPTURED. IT WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER RECENTLY, AND A FAULT CODE WAS RECOGNIZED; A POSSIBLE KNEE AIRBAG ISSUE. WHEN TALKING WITH THE SERVICE WRITER, THEIR TECHNICIANS HAD MENTIONED IT WAS MOST LIKELY A SHORT IN A WIRING HARNESS AT A COST OF $3500 TO REPLACE. I WAS TOLD ALL OF THE AIRBAGS MAY BE INOPERATIVE WITH THE WARNING LIGHT ON, BUT THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT SURE. A NUMBER OF ONLINE LEXUS BLOGS TALK ABOUT SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES AND STRUGGLING WHY A FAULTY (DEFECTIVE) WIRING HARNESS THAT DISABLES ALL AIRBAGS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL. IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE A FATAL CRASH DUE TO INOPERATIVE AIRBAGS TO WARRANT A RECALL.
