A WARNING LIGHT INDICATED URGENT - TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THE LEXUS DEALER - WE TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER - SAID AIRBAG PROBLEM) CHARGED US $175. AND SAID IT HAD TO GO TO THE LEXUS DEALER SO WE TOOK IT TO SANTA BARBARA 75 MILES AWAY - THEY CHARGED ANOTHER $75. TO SAY REPAIR BILL FOR AIR BAG WAS OVER $7,000. (OUR LEXUS 460 HAS ONLY 145,000 MILES ON IT).

OCT. 29, 2019 MID-MORNING VEHICLE WAS SOUTHBOUND ON US HWY. 2 IN NORTH HERO, VT. VEHICLE CROSSED THE NORTHBOUND LANE AND CRASHED IN A GRASSY FIELD: CAME TO REST UPSIDE DOWN, RIGHT FRONT WHEEL TORN LOOSE FROM THE AXLE. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. INJURED DRIVER WAS IN EMERGENCY ROOM 3 TIMES, HOSPITALIZED IN ICU FOR TWO PERIODS, NUMEROUS PROCEDURES, FOLLOW-UP CRANIOTOMY IN 2020, ANTI SEIZURE MEDICATIONS. POLICE REPORT, EMS REPORT, AND INSURANCE ADJUSTER INSPECTION COULD BE MADE AVAILABLE.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAY ON ONCE CAR IS RUNNING THERE SEEMS TO BE A SHORTS IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THE SPEAKERS HAVE NO SOUNDS COMING THROUGH THEM AND THE REAR EXECUTIVE COUNCIL IN THE BACK SEAT AS NO POWER AND THE HEAD LIGHTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE GO OFF AND ON AT TIMES I REPLACED THE FUSE FOR THE SPEAKER BUT IT BLOW OUT AS SOON AS I PUT THE NEW ONE IN

INTERMITTENT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT FOR MONTHS. STAYED ON AND BROUGHT TO DEALER ON JULY 16, 2014. CITED LEXUS SERVICE BULLETIN# 282827 DATED 1/13/2010 AND NHTSA ACTION# 100335557. REPAIR COMPLETED 9/2/2014. LEXUS REFUSED TO COVER FULL COST TO REPAIR, ONLY PAID FOR THE PARTS. I HAD TO PAY LABOR CHARGE OF $1,453.50. I PURCHASED THIS 2007 LS460 BRAND NEW ON 10/02/2007. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CAMPAIGN SINCE IT INVOLVES AIRBAGS. WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT GOES ON, THE AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED AND THE VEHICLE SAFETY IS COMPROMISED. I ALSO BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS EXTENDED FOR THIS TSB TO 7 YEARS/70,000 MILES FROM THE IN-SERVICE DATE. *TR
