IS 250

  • 60,000 miles
Takata recall - airbag light has been on. They replaced recalled inflator. Light is still on. Dealer now says it's a wiring harness. About $2500 to replace. After researching on internet, many people are having same problem. A technical service bulletin ya been issued to the dealers and covered by warranty to 72 months or 70,000 miles. My car has 88,200 miles. Most people that solved the problem in their own have said this is connection issue from the harness connectors to the igniters. They are vibrating loose. I am disappointed Lexus doesn't offer more support on this issue as it's severely hazardous for many in this situation. If it's a connection issue, it's ridiculous dealers are charging thousands of dollars to fix an entire harness. Can anything be done?
