Some Lexus GS400 owners report experiencing battery-related issues when changing a flat tire, including the battery dying unexpectedly. This can occur if the vehicle has been sitting for an extended period, potentially due to charging system problems or a faulty battery. Additionally, owners may notice signs of battery failure, such as slow cranking or difficulty starting the engine, which can arise independently of tire changes. Extreme weather conditions, whether hot or cold, can also negatively affect battery performance during tire changes. Regular maintenance and monitoring of battery health are crucial, as a battery showing signs of weakness may be more susceptible to failure in such situations. If a dead battery occurs after changing a tire, it is recommended that owners seek a professional inspection of the battery and charging system to identify any underlying issues.
