So I go to start the GS this morning, and it's dead. Finally got it jumped, and had to go and buy a battery. I normally would have driven to the dealer to get it replaced under warranty, but since today is Sunday, the dealer is closed of course.

No lights were left on, and nothing was connected to the car, key was not left inside. The car is 15 months old, with 14k miles and driven daily. Is there some type of procedure to get reimbursed through warranty by Lexus? It's not the money so much, but it honestly pisses me off a car this expensive, and so new, already left me stranded.

Yeah, I've seen the treads. Pretty pathetic for a car in this price range. I guess I am lucky I got a whopping 15 months out of it, some people had theirs take a dump the same month they bought it. Real confidence inspiring.

So is the dealership covering batteries under warranty? Mine won't last more than 20 minutes with the radio on and the motor off

Nothing was left on. This is a pretty common problem on this car.
