Default Parking sensors on the blink!!!

Anybody's sensors go off when theres nothing in front of your car. Usually after its been parked in the sun. Anyone having this problem?

I've had the same issue with my rear sensor. The dealership replaced the sensor and I did not have a problem since.

front driver's side for me too. Had it checked out during the my 2 oil changes, but couldn't replicate it so i still have the faulty sensors. Jut noticed few days ago that my nav screen starts flickering at the initial "i agree" screen. Can't believe all these problems i'm having with a lexus...

Mine was parked in giant rainstorm this afternoon, and all of a sudden the front sensor indicator goes off non-stop. Car drying in garage to see if that makes any difference at all.

I had the same issue with my front sensor one day when it was raining hard. Once it dried up it was okay.

My front drive side sensor has started to go off when there is no one around the car, usually at intersections while waiting for the light to change.
