Yes this happened to me last month. Funny thing was it didn't open when I used my right hand but always opened when I used my left. Then it started working okay again.

Yeah but just don't let the Lexus dealer install the battery. They will charge you $100 for installation.

$100??? Well I had the same problem. Plus I changed the battery and the tech told me that the battery was low He changed it out for a new one for me anyways (free) But sometime I would still have the same problem. The only reason I could think that could be causing this is , maybe because I dynamat my whole lid where the factory sub goes. Could anyone tell me if the door sensor is located in that area?(sorry to lazy to look at the manual)
