Description of the problem | The battery goes dead for no reason. This has happened 3 times and i took it to the dealer but they tell me that everything is fine and that i must have left something on. Once maybe but not 3 times, every time this happens the car is parked in my driveway. There is no dealer near me so i have to drive 50 miles one way just for them to tell me that the battery is fully charged. Well no kidding, i just drove 50 miles with the battery being charged by the alternator. It doesn't happen all the time but a new car shouldn't have to be jump started in order to get to work. I had the car towed last time and they said that the battery was dead and that they charged it up and everything is fine now. 3 days later the same thing happened and i had to jump start the car. I have seen several post on the web with others having the same issues and feel that lexus maybe i should have bought a ford or chevrolet at least they are close to my house. I guess you live and learn. |
