We got our car smogged today, and the airbag light came one. We took it to the dealer and they said the wiring harness is bad - $3500 to fix!!! I talked to the service guy at Lexus and he said this problem never happens. But I have found several. Lexus needs to fix this because this is not a wear and tear issue - it has been reported it is a wiring issue (they made the connections so that the wires were too tight in models 2005-2007). This is a safety issue because the airbags are disengaged when the light is on. Help!

So like others who have complained about this SRS Airbag problem, it is real. Lexus decided to cut corners while manufacturing the 06 and 07 Is250. They installed a shorter wire harness that was susceptible to damage and chaffing causing the SRS system to disable. Well guess what, instead of issuing the recall they decided to just let customers be responsible. It costs over $3k just to have it replaced.

"The Pursuit of perfection," is Lexus' slogan. Well guess what that is not achieved by cutting manufacturing corners and endangering customers. If the light is on, that means your airbags are disabled and will not deploy on impact. That is not our fault but, the company that sold potentially fatal consequences to us. If you don't have the money for the repair. Lexus does not care. Going forward I'm leaving Lexus.
