Air Bags · reported Sep 22, 2018
I have noticed the air bag cover on the passenger side is popping up and looks like it is going to explode. Referencing another complaint # 11118471. Car has not been involved in any accident.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) · at 118,000 miles · reported Feb 19, 2018
The car was reversed and driven forward, suddenly accelerated forward. Applying brakes were not helping as acceleration still continued. There is no floor mat on the driver seat side to blame it on for gas pedal getting stuck to the mat.. The gas and brake pedals were adjusted to the highest level from the floor. Happened a week ago and happened again on 17/02/2018. First time the vehicle was on four lane city street. Second time on two lane city street. It can happen any time any where. I asked the dealer. No recall yet I see lot of people having this problem on this site.…
Air Bags · reported Aug 5, 2017
Front passenger side airbag on the dah board is cracked and slightly protruding I AM afraid this will explode while travelling checked with lexus they say it's not under warranty and there is no recall - anyone had information on this would appreciate it
Air Bags · reported Oct 2, 2016
Similar to other complaints I have seen online and on this site, my front passenger side air bag is bulging and appears to be partially coming out. Picture included. I have raised this to my local lexus dealership service on a couple of occasions, and they do not seem concerned and will not do anything about it. We are quite concerned about this air bag either deploying when it should not, or not deployed when it needs to. It seems to be failing. It also appears to be getting worse over time.
Air Bags · at 82,000 miles · reported Jul 27, 2016
The airbag cover on the passenger side of the car is starting to lift,seems like pressure is causing the lift. I looks like its ready to blow out.
