Can't turn off GS350
I hate my life. Should have never bought this car.
I can't turn my car off right now. I turn if off completely, and the navigation screen stays on. I go into the screen and turn it off, and the clock still stays on. Right now my Blackberry shows thats its still connected too. The car is still on (the clock should turn off). Has anyone seen this happen before. With the keyfob I cant even lock the doors, something is obviously FUBAR'D.
My battery will probably die tonight. I'm fed up with this car. The rattling, UGH. I've brought this car in soooo many times to be fixed. Now I can't even turn it off. WTF?
Never will I buy a lexus again,

Is the transmission in "Park" or did you accidentally leave it in "Drive"? This happens if you leave it in "Drive." If so, put it in "Park" and try to turn it off again. This just happened to me a few days ago, and the only reason I knew it was because my phone kept beeping as it connected and disconnected from the bluetooth.

I agree with Larry...that sounds like the problem. On the other hand, it should say shift to "P" or something similar on the display of the dash and if you didn't see that then maybe there is a real problem.

It's in park. I don't know what the hell could be the problem.
I was so mad last night. Went and got the car washed, took some friends out and when I go to park that happens. Had to drive home and get the Jetta.
Just sick of bringing this car in really. Paid so much doe for it and I've had the most problems with this car then any of the other much cheaper cars I've had in the past.
As soon as it began to get warmer here, a bunch of new rattles came back too. Just drives me crazy.
Wonder if my car will even start this morning. Also, towing the car does not sound like fun.
Thanks for the suggestions though. I know you guys feel my pain.

Forgot to mention --
Few days ago in the pouring rain my windows decided to all go down to half way without me knowing it. Fun times having to clean that up. My *** still feels damp =(

I think your car hates you. Had a scooter (Burgman 650) that hated me. Piglet was her name. Before she decided to become homicidal, I dump her heavy fat *** for a new petite sport bike. Now Life is good.

sorry to hear about your misfortunes buddy. these problems you are experiencing are in no way, shape or form a representation of lexus and i hope it does not deter you from buying another one in the future. is the car still under warranty? if so, then let this be the dealer's problem. if not, well, i hope you are still under warranty. but it sounds like some electrical issue, especially if the windows roll down on there own. best of luck w/this issue and let us know the outcome

Tow trucks just grabbed it. I'm going to tell my dealership (Bay Ridge Lexus) I don't want it back until all my problems are fixed. These problems are:
Windows rolled down on their own during rain. Now my interior windows are getting moisture and it takes forever to defrost it.
Car would not turn off properly. Ignition is off but navigation remains on.
Key fobs not working
Dash rattles
Mirrors are not going back to the right position sometimes after driving in reverse
Sun roof rattles (might not even mention this one as I can live with it)
I've got until 2013 to pay the car off (finance). I'm starting to wonder if I can get a deal on a new car at say BMW. Perhaps trade this in and not end up with much different payments. I'm sure it won't be easy as I probably need to pay it all off.
I just took a picture of it on the tow truck, kinda cool looking. Would post it here if I knew how.

Not sure about the unlock button doing that on the keyfob, but the windows were half way and I certainly didn't leave them or press that button during the rainstorm.

if all your windows went down 1/2 way, someone pressed and held the unlock button on the fob for a few seconds, that is what rolls the windows down. I think it also opens the sunroof. if you got the interior wet, there could certainly be a short in the wiring at this point to cause your car not to turn off.
