recall
"get a Lexus LX570 and not worry about this kind of crap. "
LOL, I saw that post from moolman and about fell out of my chair. Dude, Lexus will wear your ass out just having all the recalls performed ! The Government went after them and they are scared, they have been doing recalls on everything !
Bolts, lifters, fuel rails, rack and pinion, floormats, I havn't seen any issues with this stuff, they are just crazy scared about being sued.
Most those recall are a waste of time, I had the fuel rails replaced because of the ethanol in our fuel, thats about it. They are definitely not tearing into my motor.
The paint on our Infiniti is 10 times better than what Lexus put on our car! We really like our IS-350 and it runs like a champ and the fit and finish of the interior is excellent. But we get recall notices every month. The only problem we have had with the Lexus is the paint, its clearcoat is pitted and dull on the hood and roof, and they refuse to even consider it, I doubt I ever buy another Lexus even though I am getting good service from the car .
We decided to give infiniti a shot and have been pleased so far. I think the Bridgestones are the weak link in the purchase. Had the one year anniversary for our 2011 model over Labor day weekend. (Waxed it again) LOL
I hate that Josephd has had such a bad time with his. I wonder if its a bad wheel? if the dealer would take a little initiative and just swap the wheels and tires off a demo model and take-er out for a run. Especially if you know the wheels and tires are good on the vehicle you took them off of. Its easy, they have lifts.
Keep us posted Joesphd, I hope they work with you. I wondered about the skill level in the shop sometimes, especially when you mention a ' Kid' did the tires. I mean maybe the kid is sharp, it can happen.
Have a good one
