hey guys. we all have been down this road in the past. old threads are plastered with wind noise issues. I have had them from time to time. nothing like this sounds like though. but it is a design flaw. Only happens to me on very warm days (lucky i live in Canada) I have had the dealership hear and look for where its coming from and we are all at a loss. Its there, not all the time, but im forced to live with it. I like my car but i will be seriously looking at Acura or Infiniti next time around. Only for the reason people ask me about my car and my response is "its ok" i dont get the same response from TL or G or BMW owners. I drove an Accord before this and was half the money. Have a hard time saying this is twice the car. It is almost twice the money. If you took my features of UL package away from me, i cant say the car is outstanding in comparison. Interior quality i dont think i could match with Honda or Acura, but ive never bought a car based on the feel of leather. The stereo is, lets face it just OK. reading the threads on ML, i'm not alone. Nothing i couldnt get for a grand or grand and a half. i have had to replace my tranny and still get a flare on my new one just not as big of one.
All said, not what i expected from a Lexus. I was recently was called by Lexus and asked if i would recommend it to a friend or family and i had to be honest and say no. It not just due to my cars issues. i know 3 people (2-07's 1-09) and we all feel the exact same way. they are options in this class of car and i would have to say this car does not place first unless you are soully looking for a softer ride.
Tire issues, brake issue, tranny issue, wind noise issues. 4 more them my old cheap honda.
Been reading other blogs (Acura, Infiniti and BWM) and im just not seeing the problems as often. They are problems like with all cars, just not the same general feeling about thier purchase.
Personal opinion of course.
