Exclamation ISF problems & ML

Hello guys I'm new and only had my isf half a year bought it brand new 8 miles ..
I've been having issues with my F first was my breakes where just horrible everything come to a stop would sound ear pearcing . Took it back they replaced the pads. Then my headlights bubbled took it got them changed...Next day both headlight filled with water, took it back and replaced again both again next again water in left light this happend 3 Times !!!!

Today sad news leaving to work my sound system took a dump!!!! Compleatly sounds like ****** 😡
I mean this is a new car with alot of problems and sound system ML going out in half a year I don't go past 40-45 volume
Has a any one had problem with ML 2012 or what else have u had problems with ?

Also this is lexus supposed to be reliable and pursuit of perfection. I switched over from BMW of hopes of not having those problems !

I'm just one unhappy person atm

Sucks that you're having so many problems.

I've only recently bought my car with maybe 3 weeks ownership so far.

The only issue I've had so far is the damn driver side door keep making a noise which is going to drive me insane. I'm waiting until I hit 4,000km to take it to the dealers to sort it out.

Other than that my breaks are fine, no noise what so ever.

As for the ML sound system, well the only complaint I have about it is that it's Weak, I'm usually listening to music in the range or 55-60 and half the time that is still not load enough.

Hope you sort your problems out, a Lexus is known for reliability, but everyone makes mistakes from time to time.

Get the dealers to sort everything out or get you a replacement

i have a 2012 as well. no problems at all. the brakes squeak a tad bit coming to a stop. as far the as the sound system you cant blame lexus but ML. their system is great depending on what source you are using for music. my iphone was nice and loud. my LG optimus is horrible. i turned it to max and its not even close to my iphone.

As long as your car is still covered continue to bring it in and have everything documented. It is pretty unusual for a newer car like yours to have so many issues. On the bright side, aside from the brakes which is a known issue that is covered by a service bulletin, you haven't experienced mechanical issues yet. I mean it's not like your engine burst into flames and left you on the side of the road. All the issues you have are fixable and it is a good thing you're experiencing them early in your ownership.

And you're right about the pursuit of perfection, Lexus readily fixing up the issues you have is pursuing perfection!

Wow surprising to hear. You're still under warranty so everything should be fixed up and fine.
