2023 E450 Cab gremlins...
I was hesitant to buy a vehicle not from Japan after 1/2 million trouble free Lexus miles...
My E450 Cab has 1900 miles. Today in Tennessee, it was exactly 32F/0C.
Both times I opened the driver door, the convertible top disengaged, triggered all four windows lowering, top went back about 5%, and driver side seat ventilation engaged.
Hoping tomorrow is better.
1 - Heard of it? What was the fix?
2 - Sounds like either:
a - Software. Is there a "reboot car" option?
b - Sensor. But which one?
I really don't want to spend tons of time on electrical gremlins... really hoping it was a random water drop frozen in a random sensor!

If you were unlocking with the key fob, you could have initiated the top down sequence that can be done with the remote. Usually you have to point the key fob and hold down the unlock button to initiate. If you start it and then release the unlock button it will stop the sequence. More likely "it was a random water drop frozen in a random sensor! "

Thanks it has not recurred. I did notice that the fob felt wrong/out of place in my pocket, it rides in my badge wallet and maybe something just wasn't right that day.
Couple days later and cautiously optimistic!
