Default 450h+ doors open when charging complete

I have a brand new RX 450h+. Every time I finish charging, all my doors open. I know this because the app notifies that charging is complete, then 3 minutes later says that all doors are open. I have charge port set to auto lock. This is very puzzling, and obviously not secure. Has anyone seen this? I found a thread from a couple of years ago with an NX450h+ but nobody had any suggestions, or came up with a solution. Here is the old thread, with identical issue, but no resolution.

PS - this happens in a separate garage, with no key fob or cell phone anywhere near the car.

I found the same problem on a Reddit thread regarding a Rav 4 Prime: https://www.reddit.com/r/rav4prime/c...r_charging_is/

And another

This has been going on since at least 2021. A few more.

I just had this happen to me, after setting the charging connector lock to auto lock and unlock. I had it set to auto lock before, but not unlock, and my doors had never unlocked themselves when in that configuration. I've set it back to auto lock only.

I had this happen set to auto lock only. I have now set it to Off, and it was good for a while. Has happened a couple of times since, but I am not absolutely convinced I locked the doors. Will carefully do that going forward and see whether it has returned...

I have tried to address this through Lexus, and they really aren't interested. Said I should take it to the dealer. The dealer says it is a Lexus software problems (and Toyota Rav4/Prius too). Luckily, I almost always charge in my garage, where I don't care about the locks.

This happened to me today, for the first time ever. Door was definitely locked before and while charging.

I had to remote lock the door immediately through the App, since the car was parked in a 10-minute far public place.

Glad I hadn't disabled the App notifications for lock/unlock etc, that one is tempted to do due to the 12 V battery drain issues.
