I went out and checked mine and I usually run it at 29 to 31. Turned it up to 40 and was louder than I would want to listen to it but still well below a lever where it should give a problem. There is something wrong with your unit. I am assuming you have the ML. Cannot speak to the standard one. I would be contacting my dealership

Thanks, she finally got to drive the ES yesterday. Doctor released her to drive. Loved it. She always did think the TL was a little too harsh and the seats were too firm. The TL was a great car, however and I miss it some times. ES is quieter and smoother and has more comfortable seats for us. I must just be getting old. Both cars are great autos however. After seeing the TL and knowing what hit it and how hard and how we got out alive I have a new appreciation for safe cars. You just never know when someone will come out of nowhere and hit you no matter how safe you are driving. I thought it would never happen to us because we are pretty defensive drivers, now ever more. but you just cannot anticipate all situations unless you drive down the highway at 25 and then you would cause a wreck by driving so slow.

excellent car. Had a 07 Acura TL that was totaled by a truck hitting us broadside. Studied safety and this car is rated even hight than the TL. You can do better than 2k off believe. I got 3400 off on mine and there are others who seem to have done better than that. I love the car. Quite, smooth. I cannot speak to service as I have not seen the shop yet. Hope this helps

I would have bought an 07 ES350 when I got the 07 TL but it was impossible to trade the TL for a lexus and easy to trade for another TL. I wanted the back-up camera but the camera on the lexus is far and away better than the Acura. My wife has a 06 Ridgeline with the backup camera on it too and it was the same as the Acura. If you have not compared them it is like night and day. Also the Nav screen is much higher resolution. Glad to hear your wife is doing ok. Seems to many people don't pay attention to stop light and stop signs. This guy never even slowed. he was speeding up when he hit us. I have no idea what he was thinking of. The truck was so big all we could see was this big grill and bumper coming at us. Knew we were going to get hit but could not get out of the way. Difference in the Lexus and Acura is much more than I would have thought.

Hi all Been on the sidelines for around a week or so and I decided to jump in an say hello. I had an 06 and 07 Acura TL till the 31st of last month when my wife and I were on vacation traveling to Myrtle Beach, SC. We were around 50 miles from our hotel when a truck ran two red lights and a stop sign ad hit us in the drivers side on the front and back doors. We were going around 50 mph and he was going around 40 as best we could tell. Totaled the car and put my wife, who was driving, in the hospital with a broken rib and a punctured lung. All the air bags on the drivers side deployed and I have no doubt that saved her life. I was in the passenger seat and was not injured. We both had our seat belts on and that helped a lot. After we got back home to Missouri I looked around and decided on an ES350. Got the UL package and every air bag available. ES is rated excellent on front side impact and TL is rated good. Any way we love the car and it is a real change from the TL. Great car and so quite and smooth which is good with her rib. Interesting to compare the two cars back to back. ES is a much better luxury car and the TL is a better sporty cat. Seems like a really good forum and I have learned a lot just reading. Any way that is my story and I am very happy to be in a lexus.
