Airbag light stays on when car is running and when I had it checked out the mechanic said it could inflate at any time. Don't have the money in budget to have done right now.

Six months ago, the drivers side seat belt warning light came on. Two weeks ago, the drivers side air bag warning light came on. This appears to be a wide spread issue with these Lexus Rx 300's evidenced by the numerous complaints logged on the web. My car was garage kept for the majority of it's life. This issue should not be happening and should be repaired by Lexus at no cost to the consumer.
