Yes it happens to me around 3 to 4 times a week at random, When it happens I have to open the back door & reach around with my hand to unlock the drivers door. Its been to the dealership over 6 times for this problem. They don't know what to do to fix it... Going threw lemon law process now. That how bad it is...

They have replaced every park you could think of in the door and it still happening.. I was able to record it on my cell phone last time so they can actually see it when it happens

IS350 AWD F-Sport here. Purchased new in late December. A few days ago, over the weekend, my driver side rear door wouldn't open, using either the inside or outside handle. It was like nothing was connected to the handles. I decided that I'd make a service appointment after the weekend. On Monday morning I decided to try the door again before making the appointment and it worked fine. Gremlins, anyone? Fortunately it wasn't the driver's door, or all the doors, or an emergency.

I think 2014 is the only year for this generation right now.
