The engine shuts off for a second while driving.
October 20, '23 our recent dead stop! whistle blower! did you know that when the alternator goes out on a Lexus, that the car draws down energy from the battery to keep the car going? that's only for about a mile or so, then the car shuts down! you can't steer and the engine stops running and you have no power as you come to a dead stop, whether on the freeway, or one lane mountain pass road, where we would have been later. What would we have done? scary! luckily, our Lexus stalled on a city street nearing our on-ramp to the freeway. (needing to be towed. ) Lexus has a serious engineering-defective-design-flaw that probably is responsible for accidents. Thanks, doug. Pass it on pleas!.
