LEXUS IS 250 2006 car safety problem was reported on Feb 01, 2013.LEXUS IS 250 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . IN LATE 2012 TOOK MY WIFE'S IS 250 TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP DUE TO HEAVY RAW GAS SMELL. THE LEXUS DEALER IN NJ STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS RELATED TO OLD SPARK PLUGS...HAD MY FIRST TUNE UP FOR THE VEHICLE AT 100K MILES. WELL THE SMELL DIDN'T GO AWAY. WE RECENTLY MOVED TO FL AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FL LEXUS DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME WE FORCED THEM TO HOLD THE CAR OVER NIGHT AS THE RAW GAS SMELL IS PROMINENT IN THE A.M., THEN GOES AWAY. THEY FOUND THE FUEL HOSE/FUEL GASKET FROM THE ENGINE TO THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING. WHY COULDN'T THE OTHER DEALER FIGURE THIS OUT? LOOKING UP COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE SUGGESTS THE FUEL SMELL ISSUE IS COMMON FOR THE '06 IS 250 MODEL. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH MY WIFE AND 2 YEAR DAUGHTER TRAVELING IN THE VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASIS. SHAME ON YOU LEXUS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR '06 IS 250. STOP BEING CHEAP!! COST US $1,250-1,500. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 105000 miles. Lexus Is 250 2006 problem was reported in CORAL SPRINGS, FL. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

LEXUS IS 250 2006 Safety Review #10523049

LEXUS IS 250 2006 car safety problem was reported on June 26, 2013.LEXUS IS 250 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with AIR BAGS . THE SRS AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AIR BAGS. I FOUND THE TSB ( L-SB-0167-08) MYSELF ON THE INTERNET AND I TOOK VEHICLE INTO LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. THE DIAGNOSTIC PULLED CODE B1861- OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE KNEE AIRBAG ON DRIVER SIDE SQUIB CIRCUIT WHICH IS THE EXACT CODE FOR THE TSB. THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HARNESS. AT A COST OF $2600. THE FIX FALLS UNDER THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM WARRANTY OF 72 MONTHS OR 70,000 MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. MY VEHICLE IS WELL UNDER THE MILEAGE BUT IT OUT OF WARRANTY BY TIME (10 MONTHS). I CALLED LEXUS CORPORATE AND THEY ARE ONLY WILLING TO COVER HALF THE PART COST. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT WITH THE LIGHT ON THE ENTIRE SRS SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY DISABLED; IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, NO AIR BAGS OR SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS WILL ACTIVATE. BUT HE SAID IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. HOW IS IT SAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH NO SAFETY SYSTEM? THE PROBLEM IS A WIRING HARNESS WAS DESIGNED TOO SHORT SO IT PUTS TENSION ON IT CAUSING THE HARNESS TO BREAK TRIPPING THE LIGHT (MANUFACTURING DEFECT). LEXUS REDESIGNED THE HARNESS AND GAVE IT THE SAME PART NUMBER AS THE ORIGINAL. FROM WHAT I'VE FOUND ON THE INTERNET ITS A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR ALL 2006-2008 LEXUS IS 250 AND 350 MODELS. *TR .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 53400 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBK262X62. Lexus Is 250 2006 problem was reported in MARYVILLE, TN. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

LEXUS IS 250 2006 car safety problem was reported on Nov 16, 2013.LEXUS IS 250 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VISIBILITY/WIPER . THE DASHBOARD ON THE LEXUS IS 250 IS MELTING AND DISINTEGRATING LEAVING A SHINY RESIDUE THAT REFLECTS ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING IN THE SUN. THIS SHINY RESIDUE CAUSED BY THE MELTING OF THE DASHBOARD IMPAIRS VISIBILITY THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING IN SUNLIGHT. I COULDN'T SEE DEBRIS THAT WAS ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING AND HIT THE DEBRIS ON THE ROAD, THIS CAUSED ME TO SWERVE AROUND AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD. THIS SHINE REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD IS UNPREDICTABLE AS THE LOW VISIBILITY ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE SUN REFLECTS ON THE DASHBOARD. I CAN'T PREDICT WHICH DIRECTION I WILL BE DRIVING, FACING THE SUN OR NOT, MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT ALL TIMES. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 151000 miles.

LEXUS IS 250 2006 car safety problem was reported on Feb 26, 2013.LEXUS IS 250 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with AIR BAGS . MY 2006 LEXUS IS 250 AWD WAS AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR ADDITIONAL RECALL WORK, AND OTHER MAINTENANCE. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. NOTE: THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS NOT ON UPON INITIAL INSPECTION. I NEVER LEFT THE LOT AND WAS PUT IN ANOTHER CAR. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE AIRBAG WIRING HARNESS, AND THEY CLAIMED THEY DID NOT DO IT. THEY DIRECTED ME TO LEXUS CORPORATE. UPON INSPECTION AND MY OWN INVESTIGATION, I DETERMINED THAT LEXUS WAS AWARE OF THE AIRBAGS NOT WORKING IN 2008 WHEN A LEXUS SERVICE INFORMATION BULLETIN WAS ISSUED ON 12/11/2008 (L-SB-0167-08) FOR THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS STATING THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM IN THE 2006 - 2008 IS250 AND IS350, AND THE ISSUE WAS POOR WIRING INSULATION THAT WOULD COME UNRAVELED UNDER THE DASH. "R&R INSTRUMENT PANEL WIRE HARNESS" THE EXPOSED WIRE WOULD THEN GROUND OUT ON THE FRAME, AND THE AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELTS WOULD BE INOPERABLE IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. "SOME 2006-2008 MY IS250/350 VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A SRS LIGHT "ON" CONDITION WITH DTC B1861," LEXUS DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL, AS THEY CLAIM THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS, AND COVERED IT UNDER THE LEXUS RESTRAINT SYSTEM WARRANTY FOR 72 MONTHS OR 70,000 MILES, AND ONLY IF BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION BY THE OWNER OF THE CAR. "WARRANTY APPLICATION IS LIMITED TO CORRECTION OF A PROBLEM BASED UPON A CUSTOMER'S SPECIFIC COMPLAINT" AS THIS WAS NOT MADE PUBLIC, WE HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND OBVIOUS DEFECT. MY CAR IS NOW OUTSIDE THIS WARRANTY PERIOD, AND LEXUS WANTS US TO PAY 1/2 OF THE $3,000 REPAIR ORDER FOR A KNOWN SAFETY AND DEFECT ISSUE. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 123200 miles.
