WHY WONT MY LEXUS RC300 START

[Mike S]

My Lexus RC 300 wont start, its telling me to put the car in to P but its already in Park mode. Its a 2016 with 17k on the clock. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks

Give a look to 12 V Battery charge: much time without using car?

Similar to mine a month ago. 2016 with 15kmiles. Self diagnosed it would be the Battery after reading on here, especially with the low mileage of only 10,000 miles in the first 3 years. It then stood on a main dealer forecourt for 3 months. Was fine for 5,000 miles, and then failed to start once, but did so after an hour or so. 

What really annoyed me was a quote from Lexus Milton Keynes ( where I bought it from ) of £395 for a replacement!!! Called my favourite dealer at Lexus Coventry ( where I bought my previous ISF ) who quoted the proper Lexus price of £125 fitted. Called MK again and they were adamant it was still £395! Guess where I went, and will continue to do so.

Car been fine ever since.
