Angry Unexplained Windows going down

I am wondering if anyone else has experienced the following problem with a 2008 Lexus.

I went into a coffee shop and when I came out all the windows were rolled down. I thought it was strange but that time I figured I must have touched something before leaving the car that caused the windows to roll down.

Last week, while I was sitting in the garage, no interaction with the Lexus at all, The Lexus beeped twice as if I was locking the doors, then all the windows rolled down. On further investigation, the display on the GPS screen was returned to default. I could not see the screen until I went into the display option and picked brightness and increased it.

I will be making the complaint to Lexus but before I did I was wondering if any of you had similar expenses.

I kind of wondered if you had your key fob in your pocket and somehow pressed and held the unlock button down by something in your pocket bumping it, which would have rolled the windows down and opened the sunroof. But it doesn't explain the issue with the Nav screen. Sounds like you need to do what was mentioned in the previous post.

I had the same problem with my LX570. I would walk out side my office to find all of my windows rolled down. I discovered that I was, by accident, holding the unlock button down on my fob. I cured this problem by making sure the buttons on the fob were towards me in my pocket.

Your problems sounds a little bit more involved as you have other things going on at the same time. Sounds like a trip to the dealer but I will say it will be hard to find as I will bet you the dealer will never be witness to the windows rolling down.
