2006 Lexus ES330 Air bags Problems

“The edges around the passenger side airbag cracking and the condition keeps deteriorating as time goes by. I'm worried about the safety of my family as we use the car all the time. We contacted a local Lexus dealer and we told the same thing as rest of the folks experienced with dealers.”

“My dashboard has severe cracks all around the airbag. That is the only area on my dashboard with cracks. My concern is that my airbag may explode and injure me or my passengers. I took my vehicle to the dealership and was informed by servicemen that the dashboard needed to be changed. They gave me the number to Lexus. So, I contacted them on april 27, 2015 and again on may 11, 2015 and filed 2 incident reports to no avail, they finally contacted me on may 14, 2015 to inform me there is nothing they can do for me. …”

“I have a 2006 Lexus es-330. A few years back I noticed the airbag cover on the passenger dash seemed to be shrinking. When I went in for service, I asked about this and was told it was nothing. However, the cover looks smaller. I brought my car into the local dealership 2 weeks ago and was advised, after much arguing, that the dashboard is shrinking. My concern, of course, was that the cover would loosen, fall off and the air bag deploy while I am driving. I was told this shouldn't happen but I couldn't get guarantees. …”

“Dashboard passenger side airbag cover is bulging and deteriating, concern it may pop open, dealship will not fix since its out of warranty, they will repair it for $2500, definetly a manifacture defect but they don't care! Thanks!”

“Takata recall. My airbag has defects. I called Lexus and they say it is not under the recall group. But I do not feel safe when traveling with passengers specially my children. This thing is basically ready to break off. This is a security concern.”
