I just purchased an off lease IS350 with 12,000 miles on the odometer and have started to have some strange problems with it.
First, two days ago the car shut off (dash lights and all) for a split second and then sprung back to life with no apparent reason. No check engine light, nothing to indicate a problem. I was driving about 40 with the A/C on...nothing to strenuous for the IS350. Also it was about 85 degrees
Saturday I started having even more strange problems, on my way home from work same thing happened again, everything cut out briefly and came back on. Shortly after this occured I realized the clock had reset itself, lost my Sirius radio presets, and when I arrived at home only the driver's side window would roll up. I eventually found that the switches on the individual windows worked just fine. I got of the vehicle and hit the lock button, no beep, sounded like the doors locked though, however the driver door had not locked. The lock would not operate with the switch or remote either, so I manually locked it. Later I walked up to the car and grabbed the door handle and it unlocked all of the doors besides the drivers door and beeped like six or seven times.
The car also started and stalled immediately stalled once before I purchased the car, but restarted just fine so I didn't think anything of it. That was the only time it stalled immediately after start up(dash lights and accessories stayed on that time).
Just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem to mine. I'm becoming fearful of driving the car and am afraid the problem will not reproduce itself for the dealer(besides the door lock not working). Also, any idea how might these random problems be related? The car is 100% stock and in excellent condition, it all just seems out of character for a Lexus. This is my fifth Lexus and before this vehicle I've had nothing but the best experiences.
