Since January 2010 my car has been towed to the dealership 3 times due to dead battery - which is a new Lexus battery. The most recent trip to Lexus dealership had my car for 2 weeks trying to diagnos an electrical problem. Of course, the car started just fine every day at the dealership. I have had my car back for 2 weeks now, and today my battery is dead. 2 days ago my radio was turned off; however, the Lexus splash screen came on by itself then the entire screen went black - this happened 3 more time w/i 4 hours of driving. I have had intermittent problems with the radio and suggest the tech look at that, but he found no issues. Anybody having similar problems? ---

If your area has an automotive electronics speciality repair shop, they would be the service which may repair this the best. Check Yellow Pages. ---

You also might try another Lexus dealer, or a Toyota dealer (it’s very similar to a Camry, but they may not want to work on it for this type of problem). You should also post your question on a Lexus owners’ club forum, maybe somebody there has experience with it. ---

I was just about to buy one in Daytona that was SWEET. Had a deposit on it and everything but they called back to tell me that the deal was off and they were sending to auction. I had to know why! He said electical issues were found which I assume to be similar to yours. I havent read a bad review about this car yet and have seen ones selling for 7-8K with 230,000 miles on them. Ill keep looking for more posts with these mysterious “electrical issues”.
