I've only put 4K miles on my IS350 with no rattles or problems.

Zero problems so far in 1 year of ownership. No rattles, creaks either. Tight as a frickin' drum. Build date: 02/06. I'd 'knock on wood', except I have CF trim inside.

Have the car for 7 months now and have not brought it to the dealer for any problem...I hope it stays that way.

Mine went back for the "navigation shows vehicle in wrong location on map" problem; I referenced the applicable TSIB when I made the appointment, so it was fixed quickly and properly.

Reasons why I took it back to the dealer:

--Seat belt recall.
--Nav DVD change via TSB.
--Nav DVD change because they gave a wrong disc the first time.
--Headlamp condensation (that was my fault).
--All my oil changes.
--Paintless dent removal (it was done for free).
--Changed my stock wheels to chrome stock wheels.
--Wheel alignment (got it done during an oil change; more expensive but less hassle).
--Brake pad TSB.

I think that's it since I've had the car for 18 months...

but as i'm currently in between jobs, 20k will be a DIY.

Isn't this similar to all of the other threads about "how many problems" have you had with your new IS?

No offense, but I think if someone has had a problem and it's under warranty which it would be, they would have taken it back.



Cheers,

CD player crapped out a while back. Had to have the whole unit replaced.

Had to replace the NAV when I first bought it (only 4 miles) - repaired under warranty...All-in-all very pleased.

i took mine back after owning it for a month with less than 1 thousand miles on it. the check engine light came on and it needed a new O2 sensor. i was not expecting to deal with anything like that on an 07 car that i picked up with 6 miles on the odometer but the car is great now.
