Default blown ML speaker in the back???

hey guys, for the past 1-2 weeks my speaker in the back has been making a really loud rattle when the base hits. i think one of the speakers back there is blown or something is wrong. it totally sucks cause it kills the whole sound of the system in the car. i bought my car back in august 06 and it has 19k miles on it at the moment. i am planning to go to the dealer and get it check up when i get my oil change for 20k. i was wondering if my car is still under waranty? you guys think they will fix this for me with no hassle? ive been working 7days a week so its hard to find time to go get it checked up. anyone eles has have this problem? this is the very first issue ive had with this car. everything has been flawless till now

Yes, I have this problem as well. If you play Nelly - Country Grammer at low volume medium bass it is very apparent. I have an 06 as well. Your car is still under warranty and they should fix it no problem. Many people have had this issue. I am racking up a good list of fixes and will get it all done soon.

Remember, Lexus standard warranty is 4 Yrs./ 50,000 miles, so they should fix it with no hassles.

Just get your butt in there and get it taken care of! Something like that will drive me nuts.

This is the 7th CL Member in the past 4 months that has had their ML sub blown. At least, they are replaced with no issues as members have stated. That is sad to hear. Hopefully a better/stronger sub has been introduced with better voice coils in order to reduce future failure.

The sub gets blown very easily. I had mines replaced already at the dealer no hassle.

its amazing how a great sound system like the ML is so easy to get blown. i hope after my warranty is up this doesnt happen agian. i wonder how much it would cost to fix if our warranty is up? im sure it isnt cheap...
