While i was driving my lexus the drivers side curtain airbag deployed without any type of accident or incident. i also have dash camera video at the exact moment the airbags deployed. this was beyond frightening to have them deploy without an accident. i contacted lexus and they do not seem that concerned. there is some serious safety defect for this to have happened without a crash. i can't imagine if the vehicle was making a turn because we would not have been able to see. i would never want this to happen to anyone else. now i have to pay around 5,000. to fix something that i did not cause and seems like a very serious safety defect. the dealer seriously told me my vehicle was out warranty. i contacted scott murphy@toyota corporation and he can't conceptualize that it was not in a collision. after speaking with them i wonder if this has happened to others and they just said ' it is out of warranty'?? thank you and i hope no one ever has to experience there airbags deploying without an accident or dealing with lexus. thank you.
Takata airbag recall-- lexus has not offered a fix for the recall of the front passenger airbag recall. our es 350 has been rendered unusable since we cannot carry any passengers in the front seat. lexus has not offered to disable the front airbag so that seat can be used until the recall is completed. we need another vehicle in the interim and have not been offered one by lexus or need the front airbag disabled.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 lexus gs 350. while the vehicle was parked, the headrest air bag deployed without warning or impact. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the headrest needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 90,000. the vin was not provided.
