Battery Problems??

[Stoofpilot]

I am taking delivery of my 2010 4.6 with Tech package next Monday.. I have been very excited about getting the car until I started reading the "Problems" topic in this forum. I have had three Lexus LS models over the past 12 years and never had a problem with any of them.

What's the deal with this battery issue. I see too many people talking about the battery going dead.

Comments?? Did a make a mistake buying this car?

There may have been a few defective batteries but only a handful or so. Personally I think you made an excellent and wise choice.

Go into the Lexus forum of your previous model and I am sure you will find as many if not more complaints of several issues. This is why we have forums, to correct issues. I nor others certainly do not post all the time to brag about how trouble free our cars have been. Apart from a defective headlight housing on delivery, it has been perfect.

Just for kicks I went to the Lexus LS460 Owner's Forum. On the front page the following problems were indicated in various threads:
o Drive train vibrations - 2 wd and awd
o Poor ride quality
o Suspension issues
o Issues with windows opening automatically
o TSB issues

So stay cool and enjoy your Genesis and don't try to compare it to a LS460 they are different in some areas and similar in others. Sounds normal

AND in addition, many people only come to a forum only to speak about problems.

Thanks for your comments. I find the forums a very valuable source of information.
