2007 LEXUS IS Complaints

I BOUGHT MY CAR USED IN 2015 AND ABOUT 1,000 MILES AFTER DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS THE DRIVER'S KNEE AIRBAG AND SAID THE ENTIRE AIRBAG WIRE HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND QUOTED ME $3,500. I LOOKED UP THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT LEXUS HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED A TSIB ON IT (L-SB-0167-08). I ALSO READ MANY OWNERS AROUND THAT TIME WERE ABLE TO GET IT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY (72MO OR 70K MILES). UNFORTUNATELY THAT EXPIRED FOR ME 2 YEARS BEFORE I EVEN BOUGHT THE CAR. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED THAT THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE, THAT IT'S RELATED TO AIRBAG SAFETY AND THEY ARE STILL ASKING ME TO PAY THOUSANDS. IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. PS: THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME SEVERAL TIMES THAT I WASN'T AFFECTED BY THE TAKETA RECALL BUT I LATER GOT THE RECALL NOTICE.

TAKATA RECALL - IT HAS BEEN OVER 12 MONTHS WITH NO UPDATES OR OFFERS FOR RENTAL CARS OR SETTLEMENT WHILST I AM STILL DRIVING AROUND WITH A COMPROMISED VEHICLE.

THE DEALER (SERVCO LEXUS HONOLULU, 650 KAPIOLANI BLVD, HONOLULU, HI 96813, (808) 545-3987) DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE.

IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V020000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

LEXUS IS250 CRANK LOUD NOISE SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO EXPLODE. LEXUS IS AWARE OF A CAMSHAFT GEAR PROBLEM AND HAS RECALLED SAME OR SIMILAR PARTS IN OTHER LEXUS MODEL VEHICLES DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES. THEY ALSO HAVE AN UPDATED PART AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM BUT REFUSE A RECALL IN THIS MODEL

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR THE POWER STEERING JUST STOPPED WORKING AT 45 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO MANHANDLE THE STEERING TO A SAFE PLACE. HOWEVER, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THIS CAR.

IT'S SLIMY AND STICKY AND SO WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING IN THE SUN ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS, IT CREATES A GLARE ON YOUR DASHBOARD MAKING IT UNSAFE. THE STICKINESS ON THE DOOR PANELS GETS CAUGHT UP IN MY NAILS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS IS 250. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE ESC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHILE APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE VSC CODE WAS RESET; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,800.

THE FRONT DASHBOARD AND SIDE PANEL DOORS MELT IN HEAT AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO PASSENGERS IN IN AN ACCIDENT. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS FOR 3 YEARS AND CONTINUE TO GET THE RUN AROUND AND PLACED ON WAITING LIST FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
