Lexus GS450h
I recently bought my 2007 Lexus GS450h. It developed an issue with hybrid battery soon after I bought it. Check Hybrid System, Check VSC, check engine and red triangle popped up every time I started the car. After couple
of days a fan in the back dashboard started to turn on as soon as I started the car and then the car engine started to shut down when driving. I was devastated. I loved the car . Lexus dealership quoted around CAD 6000 for battery pack replacement.
I was referred to Moni (Autodex) by one of my friends. I am GLAD he did it. Moni is a true professional and an expert of hybrid. He not only fixed the issue at a fraction of cost quoted by dealership but also explained the reasons why the issue could have happened.
Talking to him was a learning breeze. Thanks much Moni.

Yes sure. The diagnosis was that the previous owner or prior to them had replaced the original battery pack with a refurbished one. Two of the cells were bad in this pack and charge was not balanced. What Moni advised was that if I want a permanent solution, installing a new battery pack is the best option. However, I decided to go for repair this time.
You are right, Moni also told that Lexus battery packs go with the life of car. What happened and why previous owner/s changed it, I do not know.
