Lexus rx 350 back door does not remain up when there is snow on the roof or snow on the door. It goes up automatically via key or dashboard entry or use of rear door opener, but when it gets up and you are unpacking from the rear cargo area, it comes down without warning and twice hit my wife in the head.
I own a lexus SUV, my third lexus/toyota brand vehicle. So I trusted the safety and reliability. One day everything is fine. The next day, I see a small crack in the lower part of the dashboard of the passenger seat. Literally, one day fine and the next cracked and without a single incident that caused it. In just a matter of weeks, my entire left dashboard is cracking and chipping and it continues to spread and deteriorate day by day. I am shocked and alarmed!
