NewLS460

you're right, the 01 had the wind noise concern, the 04 had the transmission concern. If your only problem with the car is that the gaskets scum up your glass, I'd be pleased. Just keep the gaskets and the windows clean. Go on the MBworld forums and see what some of their problems are, even on the all new S550. My dad's 04 has like 70k miles, chrome trim is perfect. His 98 had 160k...chrome trim was perfect. My ES has almost 90k...chrome trim is perfect. Don't know what to tell you. Just came out of an 07 CLS 550 which I had for 6 months nothing but problems....

this is a follow up on my wind noise problem of which the forum topic i initiated.. i went to my dealership last week. they confirmed that i am expierincing excessive wind noise and that they are aware of this problem with other ls 460s. they dicsounted the theory re the driver mirror drainge holes. theysaid they will experiment by replacing the front driver and passenger side glass with a thicker glass. supposedly equivilant to the long wheel base glass. i didnt know that the long wheelbase has a different spec glass. again this is an experiment and they cant confirm success. the parts are being ordred. well see what happens. Did this work???

Thanks! I have tried just about every level of adjustment possible including retracting the Mirrors in at highway speed all with no relief. I just spoke to the dealership and the are still looking into it. The service consultant was unaware of any formal service advisory on this issue. More to come...:chairshot: Just got the car back with no resolution! I have been told lexus will follow up with me. I was able to confirm that the part # for the window on LS460 and the LS 460 L are the same #. So I dougbt there is any differnce in the thickness of the glass. Has anybody else been able to get this issue resolved. I love this in all other aspect but I spend a lot of time on the highway and this issue is driving me nuts!!!

First let me start by saying thank you for the post on this issue... I own a 2 week old LS460 and just took into the dealership today to have this issue looked at. The dealer said they are aware of the issue and would/are looking into it. I left the car and I hope to hear back from them later today. For those who have posted that this is nature of the cars design, you clearly do not own one with this problem. The noise is excessive and appears to be varible form car to car and divers side or passengerside. I have owned 5 lexuses in past and a have GX 470 in addition to the new LS460. I very supprised that this did not show up prior to this in thier Q.C. That said these things do happen the question now it what does Lexus plan on doing about it? As a loyal customer I hope they rise to the challenge and approach as an opportunity to demonstrate their committment to their customer. More to come......
