Just got back into a Lexus after a long break. I picked up a 2022 UX 250H today brand new from dealer. When I got into the car to start it, the car wouldn't start, couldn't even drive out of the showroom bay. Salesman came and service tech and they said the battery is completely dead. He boosted it, let it run for 5 min, checked some codes / errors with his reader, cleared them, and I was good to go. After about driving 15 - 20 min, I got a warning on the dash that the TPWS is malfunctioning and to see Lexus dealer. No tire pressure is displayed on any wheel. I tried resetting it while parked at home with the "set tire pressure" method but nothing happens. I hold the "OK" button and the TPWS light does not start blinking for me to initialize again.
I also plugged in a smart charger for my rear battery. I've left it on for a few hours now, battery is at 90 %, but I just drove it for a short drive and plugged it in again to the charger and it says "low".
What do you guys think is going on? I can take the car back to the dealer obviously as it's brand new, but would want to save myself the 1 hour drive for now.
Pretty ****ty experience getting a brand new Lexus and having these issues. Ruined my whole pick up experience and excitement
Took it back to dealer. They tested the battery said it was good, but labelled it as "FAILED" on purpose and gave me a new battery for peace of mind. Said TPMS was not programmed correctly (not sure what the $ 2000 PDI covers), but they re calibrated it and it's all good. I also said the wheel was not center when driving. They test drove it, didn't notice anything, but when they threw it on alignment machine it was off. They corrected it and now car drives straight as an arrow. 2nd car I purchased new and both had alignment issues straight from show room floor.
So far so good, car is sorted out, and drives awesome I'm excited to be back in the Lexus family.

I would never ever ever drive a brand new car which did not start no matter for what reason off the dealer lot. Shows you how much they care and what kind of service you will get in the future,
Yeah the alignments are done quick zap zap zap by grandmas and cookie makers at factory, non car people. they just look at screen and turn wrench til green. they're not interested in being precise and there's a lot of room for error despite showing "Green/OK" which can make it to the point where you are driving crooked. it's a very precise adjustment being done by very imprecise/non-caring people. so luck of the draw. glad you got your issues resolved.
