Oh, common problem. Drives me mad that people don't understand thermostats. I often get my car back from servicing with the A/C set to "LO" - ie the lowest setting... (16c?) - my question would always be do you want the temperature to be 16 degrees? If not, why set it to be that!?!?!? Aaaaaggghhhh.

Hi! Put the vehicle into reverse while stationary and adjust the mirrors to how you'd like them to be when reversing. Then put the vehicle back into P. Ensure the L/R mirror switch is pressed into either L or R positions and that should sort you out. 🙂

Get it serviced by Lexus and then benefit from Lexus Relax until up to 2029 (if you have it serviced annually by Lexus).

It's a 120 mile round trip for me, and I have a 2019 model thankfully. These stories put me off a new model. One of the reasons I bought a Lexus was I didn't want any non-service visits to the dealership! So far that's held true, not sure it would if I had the new model. Worrying, Lexus! 😐

So, price risen but you can't actually buy one?! 🤔

Simon, if you haven't fixed this yet, let me know, I can probably resolve it for you! Steve

Which model?

The sills are still visible even with the doors closed.

Hi, I have the illuminated sills in my NX 2019 and they are on whenever the ignition is on or the doors are unlocked and you're "getting in or out". So yes they are on when you're driving along but while not impossible to see them, they're there if you look for them.

I'd have to enter first! 😁

... No little click which holds it shut... but no it hasn't actually blown open. See wharfhouse's message above. THAT'S what's happening...! Cheers for your comments 👍

And that ^^ is exactly what I'm seeing too. I'm really surprised that when the car isn't locked, nothing really holds the flap shut! Cheers 👍

Yes, it's when it's unlocked I'm trying to confirm whether anything holds it shut AT ALL... as if not, nothing really stops it from almost blowing open! Cheers

Hi Ron, thanks for looking. My lock does work when I lock the car. But if your car is locked, can you just pull the flap open with your fingers or do you have to push it in to get it to pop out? IE. Is it held in place at all when your car is not locked? Mine isn't, only when I lock the car.

Thanks Ron 👍

Evening all. Was washing the car today and realised the fuel filler cap is basically not holding itself shut. On investigating the mechanism, I always thought that it had a push to release latch which locks when you lock the car, but it seems that there is no real push to release, all the pushing action does when the car is unlocked is make it pop out for you to grab. Actually you could just use your fingers if you wanted as it doesn't 'latch'. Is everyone else's like this or am I missing something? Shouldn't it latch shut normally? Thoughts on a postcard please... 👍

And indeed the assistants (well, Google anyway) have been sniffed, and they DO NOT send anything to the servers until the wake words are heard. They are always listening, but not always listening "in".

+1 on the Vaseline. I had three sensors replaced and the problem recurred earlier this summer in very heavy rain, I got a tissue and could actually absorb water from the tiny gap around the sensor. I did it until no more came out on the tissue and applied the Vaseline - and haven't had a problem since. I will reapply to all sensors - it's the way forward! Bonkers they can't fix it though. Lexus - REALLY!? 🙄

I am so pleased that's sorted it for you. Interesting to me too that you didn't have to adjust the striker's position (I DID wonder how the dealership did it, because I couldn't see a way to do it either - perhaps they didn't!!) - fabric tape appears to be the fix. Annoying though. 👍

Hi Tim, your experience is almost identical to mine. Sounds the same and we've tried the same things.... However, I currently have it sorted by my dealership... They identified the problem as being caused by the tailgate needing tightening against the striker. They also put some fabric tape around the striker, and, so far so good... not a creak in 2 months - including a long trip to Cornwall and back. I've declared it resolved, and at least have a very good idea where to go if it happens again. Hope that helps you. Let me know!

Stunning!

I stand corrected! 👍

Some people in this thread seem to be getting hung up on this "you get AA membership" thing. You don't. You get Lexus Roadside Assistance (which is provided by the AA, but that's beside the point). You don't get an AA card, but through the post I got a LRA card and (I think slightly later on), a flyer from them asking if I wanted another member of my family covered. The cover for both people is any car you're driving or a passenger in. My partner was sent a LRA card a week after I returned the form. This was at the end of 2019 for me after I bought my NX. The cover lasts the length of the warranty and if you want to continue afterwards you have to renew, as has been said. They didn't remind me and in actual fact I just continued the actual AA membership that I had suspended for 3 years when I bought the car in 2019! HTH

I would say, definitely a design issue with the sensors.

I had this again last week in heavy rain too. Lasted a few hours more driving. I've now Vaselined.... so far so good. It is damned irritating though!
