Issues with 07 Ls460 rear wheel drive
1) interior it was all sticky and melted
( Fixed got it from a local shop) all new seat doors dash side pillers got new skin 600usd
2) car shakes while braking
(Got new pads for all four wheels and resurface rotors)
Still the same problem
3) p0171 error check engine and bad idol like misfires alot
Through some cash at it but no luck no one understands as why it's happening
4) sound system it is ML but not original speakers and it sounds really **** please post the link for alternative with out amp installation
5) auto light switch
Lights never turns on in dark
6) headlight low beam hid
Changed so many time only work for few minutes
7) engine mounts
It is bad vibration and with engine lean error code its like a truck 🚛 not a sedan.
8) gear shifts
It's like a Honda ****y of some late 90s
All in all till now spend around 7k USD on it and still have all above issues the workshops here in UAE are just useless the only do the labor and replace parts they don't know what they are doing all is guess work.

1) Sadly a known issue, some countries have this warranties
2) control arms, ball joints... Maybe bearings?
3) Based on what owners have written here, the valvetrain makes a lot of noise on higher mileage cars, which is mechanically safe but appears to set off knock sensors, pulling timing and can be fixed apparently by an ECU reflash
4) I have no knowledge here, sorry
5) dashboard light sensor?
6) fusebox?
7) miket has a superb guide on engine mounts
8) transmission fluid change!
Sounds like you've found yourself a properly clapped out example which has pretty much every single common problem! Best of luck to you sir

Added inline comments below, hope you can see these issues through:
2) car shakes while braking
(Got new pads for all four wheels and resurface rotors)
Still the same problem
>> like mentioned above, go with new rotors and pads at once on this car (re; weight) and double check front and back wheel bearings (both sides) while car up on lift as well.
3) p0171 error check engine and bad idol like misfires alot
Through some cash at it but no luck no one understands as why it's happening
>> From spark plugs to ECU -only way is Lex diagnosis or maybe techstream....
4) sound system it is ML but not original speakers and it sounds really **** please post the link for alternative with out amp installation
>> Difficult to say cause OEM lex OEM 17 speakers kit is pricey but labors could be even more - best - bring to trusted audio shop to address current sound issues but keep in mind that not all speakers are LS/ML compatibles....
5) auto light switch
Lights never turns on in dark
Dashboard sensor (based on above repair as well) could be at fault there....
6) headlight low beam hid
Changed so many time only work for few minutes
"Changed" as like replaced Factory bulbs or else like LEDs? Check forums for LEDs w/o hyperflashing replacement's option.
7) engine mounts
It is bad vibration and with engine lean error code its like a truck 🚛 not a sedan.
>>Guessing could be engine mounts?
8) gear shifts
It's like a Honda ****y of some late 90s
>>Guessing - first lex dealer full transmission flush recommended (check ECU updates?) so that Lex dealer can alert you of anything else needed...
PS: " lex dealer" recommended for full diagnosis and/or appropriate tech solution available locally.
