“The cover over the front passenger IS detached and hanging open. This happened some time following a recall repair. I am concerned that something IS wrong. Both front wheel ball joints failed and I was told that this was a dangerous situation. I had them replaced as I was traveling and not able to go to a Lexus dealer.”

There are multiple complaints of the airbag wiring harness being too short and the replacement airbag causing this same issue for many other Lexus owners. …”

When I brought the car in to the dealer the warning light was off, and the dealer checked but said they could not find the code. At the time my car was still under extended warranty. Now the light has come on again just as I was driving out after the car was serviced by the same dealer. They checked the code and said I needed to replace the airbag wiring harness for $2,798. …”
