Wow, no replies. Right now I'm at 70k, but I'm thinking that the best thing would be to replace the whole hybrid battery because if it fails it's $5,000. But I don't know how you'll b able to get 1.....
Would love for someone with experience to comment.

Lexus won't change it unless you get the "check hybrid system" I had mine changed but I think what caused them to go bad was the batteries say drained out for almost a month without recharging. Me personally when I get into the high 90's I'm going to consider purchasing extended warranty.

I read some guy left his in neutral while going through a car wash and his "check hybrid battery" came on. I would most def want my changed out if it was going out of warranty. Luckily mine was changed out before I bought my car.

you guys are worrying me... i am at 70k miles now and dealer say my battery is perfectly fine..

they own't look into it at all until it say "check hybrid system"

30k more miles i am thinking of changing cars once it reach 99k...

sigh up till now i don't see any cars can replace my GSh...

i been looking at the 2012 Audi A7 3.0t since the insurance is cheaper to insur compare to my 2007 GS (sound BS but is a fact) but don't want anymore european cars headache

the 2013 GS just don't appeal to me..... yet, unless is a 2014 LS, but way beyond my budget

love the new CLS too, but still.. 1 year CPO warranty is a big risk
