After not using my GS for a week, there has been battery problems where it completly runs out of battery on my 2013 Lexus GS 350. Is anyone else having this issue. And solutuions besides calling AAA?

If the battery is original, it may be time for a new one.

Get a new battery from Lexus. The Panasonic battery used in some '13 GS models had known problem like you describe. I recently bought a new battery from my dealer and it was an Interstate Battery that ran a bit under $200 installed. I think it is warranted for 7 years.

I went to the dealer for another warranty issue and when I picked it up , they also put in a new battery under warranty. I was not having any issues but the tech said the test showed the battery was borderline. Mine is a 2013

Same here with my 2013. Went to Japan for 2 and half weeks and I was dreading it wouldn't start after I got back and reading all the negative stories, but it started like normal.
