2007 lexus es350-1-adult passenger sat in the front seat and i notice that the airbag off indicator light was on. 2- i have experienced a dangerous sudden surge of acceleration when braking, even with all weather mat properly secured. i believe the surge may be a software and/or sensor flaw. 3- when the engine is first started (cold-after sitting), the mechanical engine noise is very pronounced as if proper lubrication is not occurring. *tr
