Is the valet switch pressed in the glove box?

That would be a big deal with me too - I love it. Do you hear any kind of noise when you push the close button on the trunk lid? It is strange that the soft close feature works but nothing else.

All I can suggest is have your Lexus dealer look at it and hope you still have the basic warranty coverage.

Does it pop open with the trunk button in the car, or only with the key? Also, are you sure it has the power trunk feature?

I am assuming it was a Lexus shop and the tech did check the fuse if it is not working at all?
