Average miles

Hey guys looking for a bit of help here. I love the car and everything is going well with it, I own a 2014 lexus is 350 with about 65k miles on it. The past few days the average miles have been 0 when starting the car, sometimes it keeps my last one or two trips but not like it used to. I know how to reset the trip recorder (I am not resetting it by accident or anything like that), I have scoured the web and cannot find any reason why this would not be tracking the information! Any help would be great!

Thanks!

Thanks for the response I’ll try the after refuel mode, but it has never been an issue throughout the 4 years that I have owned the car. It’s very odd to me

An idea just came to me... You think it could be battery-related? I've heard of weird things happening when batteries get low, such as climate control temperatures resetting and the like. Not likely but just thought I'd throw that out there.
