Hi all, so, my easy exit is not working anymore. The seat usually moves back when I turn off the car and moves back to original position when I turn it on, but now only the steering wheel moves. I tried turning it off and on in the settings, but it’s not working. Anyone also experience this and have a fix?

Is the seat still move with the power switches, that would be step 1 to confirm the seat motor still works.

I’ve had some unusual experiences like it not sliding back when I exit, but sliding back when I start the engine; completely backwards. If you have the memory buttons on the door set, try using that to see if it adjusts properly to the drive position and hopefully resets the easy out part. I haven’t had what you describe, but the above sometimes works for my weirdness.

I had a service visit in early January and since then I have had the same issue. I can still make the easy exit work if I follow an exact shutdown sequence.

My main symptoms are:
I stop and put the car in park.
unbuckle seat belt
shut off car
open door - the seat does not move and I get a bell ding ding ding as if I did not shut down the car completely.

I can get it to work correctly if I:
Start the car
buckle up
put car in drive
put car in park
shut off car
unbuckle - seat moves back.

In the past it worked regardless of the sequence of steps. I am hoping to avoid a service visit.

tiLLIKS - can you try this exact sequence of steps and see if it works?

Is this function only available with seat memory buttons?

The problem has been resolved. I played around with the car shutdown sequence enough over the next month to sort out it was related to the shifter position. If I shut down but put the car in park - out of park - back to park the problem did not occur,

I have always kept a trash bag in the car - looped around the shifter. The half full bag was heavy enough in January to slightly pull the shifter out of position. I got rid of the trash bag and it never happened again.

I will also add that the problem occurred in mid January when it was very cold out. By the time i sorted things out the temps had warmed up. Could the problem be related to temperature? I will find out next winter.

BTW my Lexus dealer service department was useless.

Good luck!
