THIS SAFETY ISSUE HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED ONLINE IN A NUMBER OF FORUMS BY 2006-2008 LEXUS DRIVER. LEXUS HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND INCLUDED IT IN ITS LIMITED WARRANTY, HOWEVER, MOST DRIVERS DID NOT EXPERIENCE AIRBAG PROBLEMS UNTIL YEARS LATER AFTER THEIR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE OUT-OF-POCKET COST FOR THIS SAFETY REPAIR IS UPWARDS OF $3500, FORCING DRIVERS TO SPEND MONEY FOR A MANUFACTURING FAILURE. MOREOVER, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PASS INSPECTION WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT. LASTLY,THIS FAULTY AIRBAG MECHANISM IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT PUTS THE DRIVER, PASSENGER AND OTHER MOTORISTS AT RISK OF INJURY, PARALYSIS, OR EVEN DEATH IF THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY. BECAUSE OF THE HIGH POTENTIAL FOR DANGER CAUSED BY THE LEXUS WIRING HARNESS, NHTSA NEEDS INITIATE A TOYOTA/LEXUS RECALL ON THIS FAULTY PART IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE LIVES OF MOTORISTS.   PERSONALLY, I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY WHEN DRIVING MY CAR. THE AIRBAG SENSOR IS RECENTLY CAME ON IN MY LEXUS IS 250. I SPOKE WITH MY LEXUS SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE RELATED TO THE \"TAKATA RECALL\". I WAS TOLD THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS A SEPARATE ISSUE FROM THE RECALL AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY OUT-OF-POCKET FOR BOTH THE DIAGNOSTIC AND THE REPLACEMENT (~$3500-3800). I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PASS THE MANDATED STATE INSPECTION UNTIL THE PART IS REPLACED AND THE SENSOR CLEARED, DESPITE MY CAR  OTHERWISE BEING IN OPTIMAL DRIVING CONDITION, IF THIS WERE A REPAIR ISSUE THAT AFFECTED ONLY A SMALL PROPORTION OF LEXUS IS 250 MODELS, I WOULD NOT BRING THIS MATTER TO THE NHTSA.  HOWEVER, THE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS AFTER THE LEXUS TSB AND WARRANTY EXPIRY HAS LED ME TO URGE NHTSA TO INTERVENE","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2006","productMake":"LEXUS","productModel":"IS 250","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
