What is your question?
Car won’t drive . Battery doesn’t stay charged and main computer isn’t communicating with VSC system. I was told I need an inverter . Than another mechanic told me to change fuses, and hybrid battery? I don’t know there was a plastic burn smell when I lost steering and gas pedal functions. Recall 13V39600 is like what I’m experiencing. I have 107,000 on 400h. If the inverter is the problem and it cost $9k I can’t fix it. So I’m looking to sell it for $5k if I can get it on a 2008 400h Lexus it’s been well maintained on services needed on it .
What makes this problem better or worse?
I haven’t done anything to it yet
How long has your 2008 Lexus RX400h had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2008 Lexus RX400h. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
I see a couple of “mechanics” have suggested what the problem may be - - However I do not see anything about diagnostics testing to confirm what the problem is.
I suggest having the required testing performed to prove what has failed before any other actions are taken.
Good luck!
We can make all kinds of assumptions here online - that has no beneficial value at all. **HANDS-ON** TESTING IS REQUIRED.
