Default Windows opened by it self???!!!

my car was in the garage... just washed.. so i know the windows were closed

and this morning i went to do laundry.. and all four windows were open about 1-2 inches..!!!!????

it was not a break in or car theft attempt.. there was cars on the drive way outside the garage blocking my car.. and the garage is alarmed at night

how can this happen.. is this some kind of wiring shortage electronics screw up??

and plus my window lock was on too..

anyone else experience this??????

Did you hold down the unlock button on the key fob?

Yeah it happened to me once.

I am 99% sure that you accidentally hold the unlock button. there's no other explanation to it.

try holding the unlock button on your key fob and then letting it go and see if the windows roll down the same. i don't think the windows roll down at the same rate.

If you hold the unlock buton your windows and moonroof WILL open. Yes they do tend to open at different rates, the moonroof being the slowest.

You can have your local Lexus dealer disable this option. A lot of my customers have that disabled.
