eajan3 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Situation: I have a 2009 ES 350. A short time ago, the doors to my car started unlocking on their own while the car was being driven. Then a few weeks later, after the doors would unlock the airbag warning light would come on. I took my car to the local dealer and they said the problem is with the on board computer. I was told that water (condensation) from the AC unit had leaked into the computer and was causing it to malfunction. The question I have is: 1. Has anyone ever hear of this situation before? AC unit condensation shorting out the on board computer. To me it seem like a design flaw and I feel that Lexus should cover the cost of the repair, which is almost $4700.00. Any advise on how I should proceed is greatly appreciated. I bought the car new in 09 and it has only 34000 miles on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13IS250C Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Welcome Lester. I think I would at least try to get them to discount the repairs. That sounds like a design flaw to me. Especially with that low mileage. Also.....GO COWBOYS!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbhrps Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 eajan3, If you can't get any satisfaction from the dealer, you may find your next best option is a used CPU from a wrecking yard for the same year. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
