AIR BAG NOT WORKING ON PASSENGER SIDE...RED LIGHTS FLASHING ON BOTH SIDES..TOOK TO LEXUS SERVICE FOR REPAIR....TOLD THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR AND THAT IS NOT CORRECTING THE MALFUNCTION .....I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT AND IT WOULD COST AROUND $8,000.......THAT IS PROHIBITIVE AS THE BLUE BOOK ON THE CAR ....IN GOOD CONDITION...IS ONLY $9,000 TO $11,000. MY ONLY RECOURSE WOULD SEEM TO HAVE THEM DISCONNECT THE AIR BAGS AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN DO THAT ....I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN NEW MEXICO IN THE 80'S AND THE AIR BAG SAVED MY FACE AND EVEN POSSIBLY MY LIFE SO I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE WITHOUT THEM BUT I CERTAINLY CAN'T AFFORD A REPAIR OF THAT MAGNITUDE. I HAD JUST STARTED MY CAR WHEN THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET ON A STRAIGHT ROAD.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL WAS NOTED BY LEXUS IN MAY 2016. I HAVE JUST BEEN TOLD BY LEXUS THAT THE REPAIR WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL END OF APRIL OR MAY 2017. BASICALLY, ONE YEAR IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE DEFECT TO BE REPAIRED SINCE FOR ALL THIS TIME NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. LEXUS WOULD RENT A $30 PER DAY CAR FOR ME BUT I DON'T CONSIDER THAT A REASONABLE CAR FOR A REPLACEMENT OF A LEXUS ES350. MEANWHILE, THIS MAKES A FAMILY SIZED CAR UNUSABLE FOR REGULAR USE.
