And said it had to go to the Lexus dealer so we took it to santa barbara 75 miles away - they charged another $75. To say repair bill for air bag was over $7,000.

LS 460 8-cyl

  • 32,000 miles
Intermittent air bag warning light for months. Stayed on and brought to dealer on July 16, 2014. Cited Lexus service bulletin# 282827 dated 1/13/2010 and NHTSA action# 100335557. Repair completed 9/2/2014. Lexus refused to cover full cost to repair, only paid for the parts. I had to pay labor charge of $1,453.50. I purchased this 2007 LS460 brand new on 10/02/2007. I believe this should be a recall campaign since it involves airbags. When the warning light goes on, the airbags are disabled and the vehicle safety is compromised. I also believe this should have been covered under warranty, which I believe was extended for this tsb to 7 years/70,000 miles from the in-service date.
