And with that many miles and the fact that you state you can't afford the dealer I would think about getting something else...450h can be expensive to repair even outside the dealer if you can find someone who know what they are doing.

Sounds like maybe an electrical connection problem from the battery to the ecu or alternator.

I would search for worn wires or loose terminals. Maybe also a bad alternator

Are any codes popping up? If there are go scan it at any auto parts store.

I'm pretty sure the GS450h doesn't have an alternator.

But yes, definitely something electrical.

Go to an Auto Zone store and have them perform a diagnostic scan and possibly see what codes are thrown, and what the fix might be. No charge.

wrong subforum, loonyis350, this is for the GS vehicles. You might want to make a post in the 2IS forums (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...2006-2013-163/)

I will close this thread for now, since it hasn't been resolved for two years.

GL!
