Electrical systems is fried, draining every battery I buy ( about a total of 15 or more bought) I've changed the starter and alternator multiple times as well. If I turn the a/c on the lights dim and the car slows down dangerously before completely shutting down! my car is a risk on the road so I haven't been able to drive it since finding out, yet, I still have to pay insurance every month on it.
I put my key in the ignition, the car started by itself sounded bad, I had not turned key. Removed key and car kept running. We had it parked in garage. Could not get car to turn off, heard something explode under hood, smoke started pouring out from under hood. Called fire department. Firemen opened hood, starter had caught fire and possibly celinoi. New battery bought 1/4/2014 was damaged and dead. Lexus mechanic told me he saw this on other models but not our model. Estmated repair cost 820. 00.
