Hi all,
I have an RX 400h, year 2006.... for about 8 years now. Just got it painted and other things repaired.
So I go to put groceries in the back, after using the auto door opener button. It opens. I start putting them in , leaning into it. Suddenly, the door decides to come down. Right on top of me. Forcefully. I seriously thought I might get crushed. Somehow I was able to grab the bottom of the door and push it back up to escape. Scary.
So I texted the guy at the dealership who took care of a few things a few months ago. he said the electronics for the power lift gate are behind a panel that probably has a water leak. and it should probably cost a few grand since it will have to be repainted, etc. ugh. after just spending $2500 for paint and other work to get it running.
This is really not a good thing to have the door turn rogue and violent like that 😞 The pressure of the door could cause serious injury to someone and I have no idea how I was able to escape. It's crazy.
