Lexus 84 Month Battery - Going Dead In An 06 Gx 470

[Newbyguy]

So the truck has 67000 miles on it but the battery is way less than 84 months old. I'm wondering the likelyhood that the local Lexus dealership will replace the faulty battery at no charge - even if I didn't buy the car from them?

Any guesses?

Thanks!

I guess not, battery are not covered under warranty. You could try your luck with the dealer

Lol, you are lucky you got 7 years out of a battery.

It's only been 4. Car is an 06.

Why would the battery say 84 month on it then? Just hopeful still...

Usually the batteries are pro-rated. As the years go by, you get less of the replacement cost.

Yeah that makes sense - Probably just go to fleet farm then...

The Lexus battery is guarantee for 7 years? I never knew that.

I believe you will get some credit toward the purchase of a replacement battery (same brand, retail price).

wow ! could someone tell me what is the retail price. I would prefer this over Diehard if they last so long.

I had the case on my RX after 4 years of a new Lexus/Toyota battery: the cost of the battery is prorated (remaining to 7 years) but the cost of the Lexus battery and labor charge nonetheless remaineds above what I would pay to get a new battery elsewhere (which I did)..
