We had to park our Lexus 350 ES on the street because our driveway was torn up waiting for concrete to be poured once we got a non-rainy day. On June 29th a lightning strike occurred on or close to our vehicle. The next day, my wife approached the car and it did not react by opening the door. When I got home from work, I used the manual key to enter the vehicle and pushed the start button only to hear the motor turn over but not start. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership and it has been there over two weeks without any clear diagnosis as to damage. Our collision coverage covers lightning strikes with a $500 deductible. I hear Lexus cars can have as many as 40 computers which could be affected and diagnosis is very difficult. My car, in excellent shape, could wind up being totaled! Has anyone else had to deal with this and what was the outcome?
