Lexus IS250 owners have reported 2 problems related to alternator/generator/regulator (under the electrical system category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
A year or so ago my car started overheating. I stopped and the car shut off. The computer system froze and said checking system and showed a drawing of a car frame and what I guess is the heat source. I took my car to the mechanic and he replaced the water pump. It had cracked and boiled over and ever since I have had nothing but problems. I've replaced the alternator, the battery, and my navigation system is blank and completely doesn't work. Nor do the buttons around it. The motherboard is fried. Also sometimes when I'm driving at night my headlights turn off in the pitch black driving down the road. My dashboard is melting and since I'm a realtor who puts a lot of miles on her car, I'm underwater. I'm either going to have a heat stroke driving that sauna around (the heat is stuck on) or crash when my headlights suddenly stop working. My daughter is learning to drive and I cannot let her drive once it gets dark. It's okay for me to die but not her. There doesn't need to be a sensor right under the water pump that can destroy your hole car. Thank you for your time.

The battery goes dead for no reason. This has happened 3 times and I took it to the dealer but they tell me that everything is fine and that I must have left something on. Once maybe but not 3 times, every time this happens the car is parked in my driveway. There is no dealer near me so I have to drive 50 miles one way just for them to tell me that the battery is fully charged. Well no kidding, I just drove 50 miles with the battery being charged by the alternator. It doesn't happen all the time but a new car shouldn't have to be jump started in order to get to work. I had the car towed last time and they said that the battery was dead and that they charged it up and everything is fine now. 3 days later the same thing happened and I had to jump start the car. I have seen several post on the web with others having the same issues and feel that Lexus maybe I should have bought a Ford or Chevrolet at least they are close to my house. I guess you live and learn.
