Hi dontarious, I have just purchased a 07 and did a fair amount of research prior to doing so.

No, they do not have a history of known front end problems.

At 104,000 miles I did buy and had installed new front brake rotors and pads, but that would be true of any car.

While up on the lift I had them check everything from control arms to the air shocks, at that mileage nothing needed attention or replacement.

I have owned all the luxury cars from Cadillacs to Mercedes to BMW's and this 460 is a dream of quality and refinement.

What I appreciate most is the oh so smooth and comfortable ride the air shock suspension gives on my old aching body!

They have a history of suspension issues, particularly control arms and air suspension for ones equipped with air suspension.

well than I stand corrected per UDel's post

at over 100,000 miles my 07 was just checked over two weeks ago and the original air shocks and control arms were all still good

but it well be that I will have future problems! I would buy it all over again regardless
