| On the dashboard, the square of material where the srs air bag is, on the passenger side, keeps melting when it's exposed to heat. the airbag decomposes over time due to an error in design/manufacturing, and that lexus is aware of the situation due to other customers that have had the same problem. i have safety concerns about the condition of the air bag as this continues to deteriorate overtime. this situation may affect the quality and strength of the air bag. . after research i discovered this problem has occurred in lexus vehicles as far back as 2002. | |||
