I got my Lexus with 52k miles on it and I drive it 4-5times every month and today for the first time I pulled into Lowe’s and when inside for 10mins and I come back out and my key wouldn’t work and which was bizarre, I tried turning it on and it wouldn’t start, no lights of the dash or anything and I thought maybe the key’s battery died but no it wasn’t that. A associate from Lowe tells me it might be my battery that’s dead but the battery is recent 12/23, so we jumped it and in less than a sec it turned on. He told me to drive it for about 30mins to charge it up and I did. Went to auto zone for a check engine even tho I didn’t have a light one and everything passed so I went to eat which was another 25mins. As I’m parking, my stearin wheel felts a little stiff and when I turned it off and try to turn it back on it wouldn’t start. I looked up what could be the problem and a couple people mentioned fuse which I haven’t checked but I’ll hope it’s nothing serious because I’m so worried.

Please if you have any ideas of what’s occurring to my vehicle that’s causing this issue, I would really be greatly if to know!! Thank you

Get your battery rechecked first. Yes, new batteries can go bad. Unable to start the car without a jumpstart is a good indicator of a battery problem.

could be a module that is failing and not going to sleep, draining power

Check the charging system. Your alternator might be on it's way out.
