My car is dead. No, lights, no radio, nothing. Completely dead. Did any of you has a similar situation?

i hope its just the battery

I've tried to give it a boost from the other car. Nothing. Completely unresponsive. I have no idea what can be. I called Lexus Roadside, but probably because is weekend, the wait time is about 5 hours. Nice isn't it? I will have it towed to the dealer tomorrow.

Was the car sitting for a while before this happened?

Check the batterys wires / terminals ?

Maybe some rat got into the wires and ate them :P

No, I haven't used the car for one day. So, must be something else.

Sorry to hear about your situation EP101. I hope they are able to diagnose the root cause of problem for you quickly. In the meantime, enjoy that loaner! Your car is under factory warranty I assume? Please keep us updated on what they say.

All the best,

something must be draining the battery, any updates on what happened yet or they still diagnosing?

I've left my car untouched for 8 full days and thought it would be dead when I come back but it fired up like a Boss. Kinda surprised, it must've been waiting to be driven hard by the owner.

Not yet. I am still waiting for towing. Unbelievable. Probably I was better off to pay from my own pocket for the towing than to have roadside assistance take care of it.

I am guessing battery, it's not uncommon, and sometimes the battery is so dead that jumping is not enough...I would just replace the battery first before I let them tow the car

I have had a similar issuea few times on different vehicles, when i get corrosion between the battery terminal and the terminal. Remove the terminal, clean the connection, add dielectric grease and re install.

I got the car back. I was told, the battery was the problem; rare but not extremely uncommon to get a bad one from time to time. In my case this is the very first time.
They replace the battery; problem solved. Maybe it was only a bad battery. Time will tell.
