The 2007 model had 3 recalls, valve spring replacement, idler pulley and fuel rail replacements. If you buy a car that hasn't had these done, Lexus will still preform them for free. The valve spring replacement will take a day or two to complete, but Lexus will give you a loaner, a $500 credit and the dealer will give you a full tank of gas (so bring it in empty ).

Yes up until 10 years. After that they are obligated to do the recall, but they can charge you for it.

Scratch that part. If Lexus goes belly up like Saab, they don't have to do the recall.

Wind noise and some recalls but that' about it.
I've heard some transmission jerking issue but very rare.

at the moment my air suspension seems stiff like it's constantly in "sport". . . car jumps around over some bumps and can be quite jarring. trying to get a second opinion with the tech in the car.

I think/hope that it is only just my sensors going bad as i only have 18,760 miles. . .
