GX470 restarts after removing key from ignition
This is a weird one. My wife returned to her 2004 GX the other day to find it running. It took her several attempts to get the ignition turned off.
Again today, she removed the key from the ignition, exited the vehicle and started to walk away when it restarted itself. It took her several minutes to get it turned off. In what may be a related experience the key fob is no longer operating the door locks. Could it be as simple as a key fob battery?

DO you have a remote start on the vehicle?
Im thinking more on Ignition switch issues--
definate a weird one for sure and I dont think its a key fob issue but a new battery (for door locks) is a Cheap way to start the diagnosis...and see if that fixes anything

Having the remote start now leads me to ita a malfunction in that system! I would go get that checked over at wherever you had that put in! Remote starts can do some wierd crap I tell ya!!
Start with the remote start

Sometimes the button used to start the truck remotely gets stuck, It would then remotely start it when the key was removed from the ignition(wouldnt do anything while running) Worth a look.
