That's actually a good idea. They've been pretty shady here. My son was very upset, but I wanted to just find another place. I think I'll do exactly that. Thank you.

I keep it in my driveway, not in a garage. I am elderly and was hoping this might be an easy way to solve my issue. I have had it in three shops. No one sees any wiring problem. The person that suggested a trickle charger also suggested it might be that my fob was being kept too close to the car. It is just inside where it's parked, so I've moved it. I'm starting to wonder if it's not so much a battery problem as it is a starter problem as someone mentioned above.

Hello, I saw where someone suggested a trickle charger that can sit in my dash window. I saw this and wondered if anyone might have advice on if they think it might work and if so what size? I thought it might be worth a shot until I get more funds together.

I might yet speak to them. I actually bought this car there. But they sort of...did some things that I personally did not like. I'll leave it there. Thank you both for your replies. They've meant a lot.

Thank you! I will check this out with my son tonight! I'll find out later if they found anything with the wiring. (Hopefully)

Lexus-CT my first one I got when I bought the car 2 years ago was a Toyota , now I *think* it's Advance. I'd have to double check that though.

We drive it a couple times a week generally, sometimes more, usually around the same mikes as you. We don't really have anyone other than the local Toyota dealership that knows much about hybrids. I have...trust issues with the Toyota dealership. I have it at a small local garage now and so far they can't find anything wrong with it. They're checking more thoroughly tomorrow. I'm just not really surecwhat to do. When this first starts happening it doesn't take much to make it refuse to start. It seems so odd to me though because it will beep to lock or unlock.

I bought this car in Oct of 21 with about 170ish k miles. I know I don't drive it as much as most people drive hybrids, but I don't *need* to except to drive it enough to keep the big battery going. Anyway, right after I got it I had to out a small battery in it. Then come spring of '22 I had to replace it. I basically have to charge the car to make it start for a few weeks when it gets like this. Now I'm at the same place. I can't just go out the door and start my car. It's got about 174 k miles now. It's big battery has never been replaced. Can needing the big one cause this? No one can figure out what's wrong that it seems to eat batteries. TYIA

Thank you for you reply. That really makes me feel better. I don't generally either, but it's so new to me that i wondered about it. I'll give it time. I dearly love this car and I sure hope to keep it. : )

Hi, this is my first post, so please forgive me if I posted it in the wrong place. I guess they don't make my model of Lexus anymore? I bought a 2008 Lexus RX 400H on Oct 14th. It had 172k miles. I drove it about 100 miles when the ABS light came on. I ended up replacing the accumulator pump to the tune of 2800.00, 500.00 of which the dealer agreed to pay. I had the car fax on this car and it seemed well cared for- 1 owner. As I went to pick it up a week later, I saw it was almost pouring pink fluid from the front. Apparently while they had it the radiator cracked and they replaced that on their dime as well. My question is this. Before I got it back, the display showed I was getting around 25ish MPG in town. Now it is showing between 13 and 16 MPG. Could they have done something to it while making these repairs or am I likely looking at yet another problem? Or could it just be telling me wrong? I sure hate to give it up as I really love it, but I am starting to wonder if I am going to be nickel and dimed to death. On the other hand, I love it so much that if it's worth fixing, I'd really rather just do it. Thank you and again, sorry if this is in the wrong place. I couldn't find a better area. Dharlee
