'07 IS250 Won't Start - Dealer Can't Solve
 

Hi friends - sorry for the long post but want to include as much detail as possible.

I owned an '01 IS300 for 14 great years - no issues at 238k miles - sadly it was totaled recently and replaced with the IS250 2007 RWD. I had this car for 24 hours before the first incident of it not starting. Threw a charger on the battery overnight, it started up fine the next day. I chalked it up to bad luck until 2 days later when it wouldn't start again. Startup routine works (instruments fire up, lights come on, headlamps full power etc). This time I took the battery to O'reillys and it tested as 10)% charged, 80% healthy. (Previous owner replaced battery 2/2014). That night I put it on the charger again and next morning fired right up. To be safe I drove it into the Lexus dealership where they convinced me it was a fried alternator - they replaced it at $700. Picked the car up, took it home, that night it wouldn't start again! Had the dealer pick the car up on a flatbed and they are now on day 5 and can't get it started. According to service:

- Charging system (Batt, Alt, Starter, Relays & Fuses) all check out fine
- Battery is fine (I disagree)
- ECU is not reporting any codes or errors from any of the other on-board computers

Has anyone else encountered/solved this? These guys have had the vehicle for 5 days and not made any progress.

I've pasted the car's entire service history below in case there are any clues there that didn't stand out to me. Does seem like the car has gone through some batteries however my 2001 IS300 had to have a new battery every 2 years like clockwork. I also own a 2013 GS350 and a 2013 IS250 which are flawless.

Thanks in advance.

Holy crap!



I'm sorry I can't help you with your current problem but I am thrilled you got 238,000 miles out of your '01.

I am hoping to hit 300,000 miles on my 2010; it has 120k on it currently since I bought her new 4.5yrs ago!

I hope they've given you a loaner car while they twiddling their thumbs trying to diagnose the problem. If the car is firing up fine, headlights are bright, etc, then it sounds like the battery is fine, Sounds similar to problems reported with the LS460. They can include: corroded door switches, bad start button, bad starter windings/brushes, to name but a few. Given that they've replaced the alternator (at your expense) and that probably wasn't the problem, I'd say, drive their car until they figure it out (on their dime, now)!

Don't forget to check your fuel systems including fuel pump, filter, rail....Not to mention that your fuel injector driver should be the problem at well (i have to replace mine like a year ago - really rear but happen)
Good Luck!!!
Where are you in CA BTW?

Hey OP, Any update on this? Thanks

So something similar happened to me where the car would start then immediately die. Then when I press the start button it would not crank anymore. Check the car for codes, no codes came up. Had the car towed to the dealership. Ended up it was the Fuel pressure senor went bad. Threw the car in safety mode.
Here was the hick-up. The fuel pressure sensor is a $50 part (denso Aftermarket) $250 (OEM). BUT because of the recall, Lexus will not install just the fuel pressure sensor, but instead will only do the whole fuel rail kit. Explained to me as liability issues. Cost $1300..... So do yourself a favor if you find yourself in my situation. Try the fuel pressure sensor first.

I will have to say, Lexus of Austin did take care of me by comping me the part and all i had to do was pay for Labor.

Not sure I understand - they billed you for a known recall?

The recall is for the gasket attached to the sensor itself. I had a bad sensor.
