Air Bags · at 155,200 miles · reported Dec 29, 2020
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.
Air Bags · reported Aug 9, 2019
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.
Air Bags · at 90,000 miles · reported Nov 5, 2017
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.
Unknown or Other · reported Aug 15, 2017
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
