2006 LEXUS IS 250 Electrical System Problems

TAKATA RECALL: THE RECALL SHOULD MOST DEFINITELY INCLUDED THE AIRBAG WIRING HARNESS, I HAD NO ISSUES WITH MY AIRBAG LIGHT UNTIL I PLACE MY CAR BACK IN THE SHOP TO GET THE RECALL A DAY LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT. I TOOK IT BACK TO LEXUS AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THE IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PART THEY JUST REPLACED. HOWEVER IT WAS NOT ON PRIOR TOO. THE ARE GETTING A DIAGNOSTIC MYSELF I WAS INFORMED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS BAD AND MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY, IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, AND A WELL KNOWN ISSUE TO HAPPEN TO THE LEXUS IS 250, THIS IS A DIRECT LINK WITH THE TAKATA RECALL AND SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE COVER BY LEXUS. FAULTY AIR BAGS ARE NOT A CUSTOMERS FAULT. AIR BAGS WHERE PLACED IN CARS FOR LIFE...

LEXUS HAS A WIDE KNOW ISSUE WITH MELTING DASHBOARDS AND DOOR PANELS. MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT CREATES A GLARE WHEN DRIVING, IT HOUSES CRITICAL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THAT CAN POSE A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. I DRIVE THIS CAR DAILY AND FREQUENTLY TRANSPORT PASSENGERS SUCH AS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. LEXUS REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. CAR INTERIOR REPAIR SHOPS HAVE NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. LEXUS ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD BUT IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO PREVENT TRAGEDY FROM OCCURRING. THE CONDITION CONTINUES TO GET WORSE TO THE POINT THAT MECHANICS ARE REFUSING TO WORK ON ANYTHING THAT REQUIRES HAVE TO LAY HANDS ON THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE IT IS LITERALLY MELTING AND FALLING APART. THEY DON'T WANT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FURTHER DAMAGE. THIS POSES ANOTHER SAFETY RISK AS I CAN NOT FIX ANY PROBLEMS BEHIND THE DASHBOARD AT ALL IF MECHANICS ARE REFUSING TO DO...

WE HAD OUR LEXUS SMOGGED AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON WHEN WE PICKED IT UP. WE TOOK IT TO THE LEXUS DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS THE WIRING HARNESS. $3500 TO REPAIR. THIS IS NOT A COMPONENT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO FAIL, SO LEXUS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIX.

AS I WAS ABOUT TO PARK THE CAR ON A CITY STREET. THE ELECTRICAL STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED. IT BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL. IT COULD BE THE CONNECTORS OF THE ELECTRICAL STEERING CAUSE THE SUDDEN LOSS.

AIRBAG INDICATOR ON DASH RANDOMLY COMES ON THEN GOES OFF. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN MOST RECENTLY ON 10-20-15. APPARENTLY THIS IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE WIRING HARNESS FROM THE MANUFACTURER EFFECTING 2006 TO 2008 VEHICLES, WHICH WHEN IN A FAILED STATE DISABLES THE AIRBAG SYSTEM ENTIRELY......UPDATED 12/07/15*BF CONTACT NOTICED AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FOR THE LAST 5 YRS OR SO. UPDATED 4/24/18*JB UPDATED 05/17/18*JB

TE CAR IS FLOOD INSIDE BECAUSE THERES A AC DRAIN BLOCK AND THIS PRODUCE MELT AND SMELLES AND DA,AGES AND OXIDENT THE FLOOR. AND ELECTRICAL CABLES CAN MAKE A ELECTRICAL FAILURE AMD ACTIVATED THE AIRBAGS. *TR

VEHICLE (2006 LEXUS IS250 W. 62,000 MILES) WITH AN ILLUMINATED AIRBAG LIGHT DUE TO A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT LEXUS ACKNOWLEDGES BUT REFUSE TO FIX WITHOUT CHARGING (OUT OF WARRANTY) OWNERS OVER $3,500. THERE IS EVEN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ("TSB") ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM, THE TSB NUMBER IS L-SB-0167-08. THIS IS AN OUTRAGEOUS EXPENSE AND A RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED. THIS DIRECTLY COMPROMISES THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVE, PASSENGERS AND OTHER PARTIES IN THE EVEN OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR
