BritRom 1 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 To anyone having this problem...... Engine & whole system including power steering DIES AS YOU ARE DRIVING! There is no pattern, it doesn't matter what speed you're doing etc. Dash lights up like a Christmas tree, "check engine light," "Check Hybrid System" come on and all kinds of other problems. You may have tried replacing the 12v battery - this helps reset the system but does NOT solve the problem. You may have tried the simple reset on the dash display hoping that will do something - it does NOT solve the problem. This is a dangerous situation! BUT, you may be driving a car that has never had this recall done. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO MAJOR RECALLS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. The first in 2011, the second in 2013. Both are related to the inverter module inside the hybrid system. IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM! So, if you are like me and have an older Lexus hybrid, I advise you to call your Lexus dealership REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU ARE HAVING THIS ENGINE DYING/SYSTEM FAILURE PROBLEM OR NOT! Ask if your vehicle has ever had this recall done. All they need is your VIN number. This recall DOES NOT EXPIRE!!! Take a look at this link and it explains everything in more detail: https://www.cars.com/research/lexus-rx_400h-2006/recalls/ I hope this is a help to someone!! God bless you and stay safe. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
