AGM Battery?
Yes! My car would turn off, I would get the notification but when I try to start the car, it would never start.. Am just gon suck it up and buy a battery.. Lexus keeps saying it’s find etc but I know it’s not..
Do you have and independent shop that specializes in auto electrical/electronic work? If you do go there even if you have to pay for it. Once it's diagnosed you can go to the dealer for the warranty work.
This is what I don't like in modern vehicles, way too much electronics.
Lexus of Calgary and Royal Oak in the North West. Out at Ogden road SE there is a
battery shop who sells brand new but some blemishesd(scratch on the case like that
functionally nothing wrong with a full warranty) I always go there if I need battery.
Had good luck with Magnum brand.
Canadian tire has good choices of batteries. We have two Lexus dealers in Calgary.

You are right there is something wrong, very often dealers do not have the specialized technicians to do electric/electronic diagnostic work, they can swop parts, but not really diagnose.

I'm not a fan of canadian tire batteries, they are not as well built as others (top tier}, they exchange them for free and I think that after a certain time they charge you only for installation, but it's PITA to go and have them exchanged. Batteries is one field that you get what you pay for. Depending on how long you keep the vehicle or whether it's leased or owned, that would guide me in the purchase. One word of caution, AGMs don't give you any warning when they fail, one day they are good the next day they are bad, not like the old acid ones.
I think that the 2017 Lexus is an AGM.

Haven't bought batteries at Canadian tire for decades, things may have changed, but in the past they were batch manufactured by various makes up to Canadian tires specs. The cells had thinner walls and there was less lead in each cell. That was my experience.
Hey guys, right now I have a dash cam hardwired to the cigarette fuse. Could this cause the battery drain? My car won’t start again just now..

I have my car booked for Lexus tomorrow.. I have video proof so hopefully they will agree to change it this time.
