Lexus IS Hybrid Generator Error

I'm having some trouble with my 2016 Lexus IS hybrid. It's got about 182,000 km on the clock. Recently, I've noticed a drop in engine power, and a warning light has popped up on the speedometer. Sometimes it struggles to start, and the lights seem to flicker, especially at idle. I had a diagnostic check, and it's showing an error related to the generator. Anyone experienced anything similar?

Hey, I drive an IS hybrid too. Sounds like what happened to mine last year. Did the error code point specifically to the generator?

Yes, the error code mentioned the generator specifically. What exactly happened with yours? Was it a complete failure or something else?

Mine was completely defective. I had the same symptoms. I would recommend getting it checked at a reliable workshop.

Thanks for the advice! I suspected it might be the generator itself. I've booked it in for a replacement. The repair is going to set me back about 960€. Hopefully, that'll sort it out!
