2006 LEXUS ES Complaints

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG APPEARS TO BECOMING DETACHED FROM THE DASH. IT SEEMS THAT IT MAY DEPLOY AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO ME AS MY FAMILY RIDES IN THE CAR WITH ME.

THE AIRBAG COVER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS CRACKED AND LOOKS AS IF IT IS GOING TO POP. THIS COULD BE A HAZARD.

THE AIRBAG COVER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR IS STARTING TO CRACK AND LIFT,SEEMS LIKE PRESSURE IS CAUSING THE LIFT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT'S BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD IS OLD. COMPARED IT TO AN ES300, THE AIR BAG DEFINITELY HAS STARTED TO LIFT.

CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG LINING. THIS LOOKS LIKE A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

THE AIRBAG COVER WHERE IT IS ATTACHED TO THE DASHBOARD HAS SEPARATED. THE SEPARATION BEGAN ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND THE GAP CONTINUES TO WIDEN. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE TAKATA RECALL AND AM UNSURE IF THE AIRBAG MAY INFLATE IF THE GAP CONTINUES TO OPEN.

MY 2006 LEXUS I250 DASH BROAD IS CRACKING AND STICKY AND SO WHEN I'M DRIVING IN THE SUN, IT CREATES A GLARE ON YOUR DASHBOARD. NEVER RECEIVE A RECALL. I DID GO TO A LOCAL LEXUS IN 2014 AND TOLD THEM THAT THIS CAR WASN'T LIKE THIS WENT I PURCHASED IT. WORKED IN AL (BALDWIN COUNTY) AND I NOTICE THAT MY LEXUS INTERIOR STARTED TO CRACK AND MELT DUE TO MY CAR BEING PARKED OUT IN THE SUN DURING MY WORKING HOURS. THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPEN TO A LEXUS

THE AIRBAG COVER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR IS STARTING TO CRACK AND LIFT,SEEMS LIKE PRESSURE IS CAUSING THE LIFT. I LOOKS LIKE ITS READY TO BLOW OUT.

ALL ALONG THE AIRBAG ON THE DASHBOARD; THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ALL AROUND THE AIR BAG. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO MY DASHBOARD AND EXCEPT WHERE THE AIRBAG WAS INSTALLED. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. I AM TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE AWEAR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED.

THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW DOES NOT OPEN. NEITHER THE DRIVER'S NOR THE DOOR SWITCH WILL OPEN THE WINDOW. WHEN PUSHED THERE IS A CLICK BUT THE WINDOW DOESN'T OPEN.
