NX350

My car was hit from the back by another vehicle. After the collision, I parked the vehicle and turned the ignition switch off, before getting out of the vehicle, the doors automatically get locked and the vehicle does not allowed to open the door even with the key card inside. I had to open the car with the manual handle from the inside. After I went out of the car, immediately the car again was automatically locked with the key card inside. I tried to open the car several times, and even with the phone application, however its remains locked. The car never opened, so I have to use an external hard ket to get access to the inside. I am very concerned about the lock system of the vehicle because someone can get stuck inside with this system failure and if there is a fire or something, this could be a very serious problem. I have kids and pets and now I don't feel safe driving this vehicle again thinking about this behavior during an accident.

On two occasions the car has locked us out. The auxiliary battery fails which does not allow the electric door locks to operate. It-€™s necessary to follow a manual procedure to unlock the driver door so the hood can be opened and the auxiliary battery can be charged and the car jump started. We purchased the car on July 30, 2022 and it has 2400 miles on the odometer. On each occasion the local Lexus dealer sent a technician to open the car and jump start the engine. Following the second occurrence we were instructed to bring the car to the dealership. They could find nothing wrong. This morning the Service Manager told me they had tested the battery five times over several days and it continued to show itself healthy. On a whim the service manager tested it again and it was dead as a door nail. The test showed a bad cell. The good news is that the problem was diagnosed and a new battery has been ordered. The potentially bad news is that the auxiliary battery in the NX450h+ may be defective in other cars.
