Don't all 400h rear hatches lock automaticly? As soon as we begin pulling it down ... it finishes the trip all by itself, if we haven't shut it all the way by hand . . . then, the auto latch can be heard engaging. Perhaps if the auto door open/close function is out of whack, you have an issue ... but otherwise? Well, I haven't closed it manually myself, always just push the button, and then I hear/see the automatic system close/lock it. She apparently closed it manually, but not all the way, and the automatic system didn't finish the job. I'll have to verify this can be done but I think it can as she did it. In any event, it appears we have to be diligent about making sure all the doors are closed all the way.

I bought my lexus from a local dealer that specializes in Lexus, Volvo, etc. in 2004 it had 55,000 on it and it was a Leased vehicle before. It is a 2000 RX300 with 75,000 miles on it. I had to have a $700 brake job in 2006, If you have the back windows open on the highway it makes a noise that kills your ears. :cries: The glove box never closed well from the beginning, but I can handle that. My PROBLEM now is........ I have a habit of leaving my interior light on and my battery died, my husband jump started it, still wouldn't start, tow truck boosted it and still nothing.... took it to the dealer I bought it at and I need a new computer. A used computer would be about $300 a new one $875 and a tow to the dealer (which is about 2 hours away). The dealer isn't sure that the used one will work with the chip in my key. Any thoughts?
