My car was at the dealership for a full week while they tested the battery and electronics. Everything check out according to specs... They trot that word out a lot in explaing all the quirks with the new LX570. I almost went to lemon law court over this vehicle. Corporate didn't want to hear that. They insisted that everything was within design specs and that I would lose in court. I ended up having a pow-wow with the Service Manager who installed two after factory parts to my car. One being the plug in battery tender. The other part is mounted inside the vehicles engine compartment. Its purpose is to kill all electronics drawing from the battery if the car is parked undriven for a period of days. For example I asked the Service Manager this question. "If I go on vacation and park my car in the Airport parking garage when I returned, would the battery be dead?" He answered yes. So now I drive this big massive state of the art SUV with a plug hanging out of the front of the grill. Its very demoralizing. I would NEVER recommend this vehicle to someone else. I cant wait to get rid of it! Too many gizmo's we all dont need and the electronics are not all they are cracked up to be. But if you ask Lexus about it they will tell you that the Car is built to design specs wether they work or not.
Give me a Ford Explorer any day over this vehicle!
For less than $7 you can get a switch to turn of the power to your vehicle. Put it on the +ve terminal and with a quarter turn it disconnects the power. I use it regularly when I am away for long periods. Bought it at Wallymart.
