Driver Door Unlocking Issue
Came across an interesting problem with my 3IS f-sport driver's door not unlocking and wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.
When walking up to the car (with key in my pocket), puddle lights come on, I put my hand on the door handle to open, hear the beep which tells me the car is unlocked, and I squeeze to open... and the driver's door stays locked and does not let me in. I take my key out, press the unlock button a few times, still stays locked. This has happened 3-4 times over the last month very randomly. I've had to climb into the passenger side and open my driver's door (all 3 other doors & trunk become unlocked).
Also the other day, I pulled my 3IS out of my garage and realized I forgot something inside my house. I put the car in park, left the car running, and went inside with my key in my pocket. I came back out and the driver's door was locked and would again not let me in. I pressed the unlock button, still would not let me in. I looked inside and could see a yellow triangle ! blinking next to my gauges. (first time this has happened with car running)
Obviously, I'll be calling my dealer to bring it in... the only problem is, I can't seem to recreate the issue - it happens randomly. Has anyone come across this one? Appreciate any help.

Regarding my heated seats, I completely agree with everyone on here... it's so weak. It's been between -5 and 30 degrees over the last few weeks so obviously I can feel it coming in the car from that freezing weather, but it's nothing like the heated seats in my former Audi's where the seats were really hot and toasty. I will be complaining to my dealership and Lexus about it like everyone else.
I still can't figure out how to reproduce this issue of my door not unlocking, it only happens once every 20 times.

Just saw the comments about the seat heaters.. I think they work really well, the 3rd level is too hot for me and they warm up relatively fast.. still feel the heat when I'm wearing a full down jacket. Temperatures around here get as low as 15-20F
