Strange Electrical Phenomenon

Recommended Posts

I bought this Lexus used from a Lexus dealer back in May of 09. Loved the car, service records indicated that the car was meticulously maintained and absolutlely nothing was wrong with the car when I first bought it. 4 months later I'm having some electrical issues that are bizarre. A few weeks ago my side mirrors would not adjust when I would push the control inside. Then later it was fine. Yesterday I leave the house and everything is fine and get to my appoinment. Later in the day I go out to the car and my remote will not unlock the front doors, but will only unlock the back doors. I used the key to unlock the front and start up the car and then my side mirrors will not fold out. Then I try to roll down the windows and the only window that will go down and up is the driver side window. All the other windows won't go down whether I use the master door button or individual buttons. My switch to retract and extract the side view mirrors will do nothing. Now the passenger side view mirror is still in the retracted position and the driver side is in the extracted position. When I turn the car on the steering wheel will not come out to it's preset position and my memory seat position button is not working either. I can not get the car to lock or unlock now with the remote or when I push the lock/unlock button inside the car. Oh, I almost forgot, I could not start the car with the keyless mode, I had to insert the key to start the car because otherwise it wouldn't turn. I don't believe the car was ever in an accident, I have not done anything to the car other than it's first oil change since I bought it. Everything else seems to be working on the car regarding the speedometer, radio, climate control and heated seats and if I adjust the seats manually. The car only has 88,000 miles on it and I can't believe that my first Lexus would have such a major electrical problem. I thought only German cars suffered from these type of issues. I can't imagine what I am looking at to get something like this fixed at a Lexus dealership. Would a Toyota dealership be able to fix this or does anyone else know of any other options I might have in order to soften the blow that this is going to cost me. :( :( The car is past it's warranty period. Thanks in advance.
