When you enter a new location you're allowed to name it, for example, "john.. When you want to go to John's house is there a way to give the car a voice command: "Go to John's"?

What is the best approach for troubleshooting a dead pedal range on my 2020 V6? I purchased the vehicle used and it has always had erratic acceleration. Putting it in Sport Mode helps a little, but nothing significant.

A 2026 RX350 is still new enough that I'd first question the "less than 50% state of health" reading. Many battery testers can give misleading results if the battery wasn't fully charged before testing, especially on vehicles with lots of electronics. If the battery truly needs replacement, there is generally no problem using a battery from Sam's Club as long as it meets the factory specifications (size, CCA, and AGM if equipped). The main difference is that newer Lexus models contain more modules and memory functions than older vehicles. A battery replacement typically won't require dealer programming, but you may lose some learned settings and need to reinitialize items such as the power windows and other convenience features. A battery memory saver can help avoid that. Since a 2026 should still be under the factory warranty, I'd also have the dealer test the battery before spending money on a replacement. If the battery is genuinely below 50% state of health, Lexus may replace it under warranty depending on the test results and battery coverage terms. Before replacing it, I'd want to know: Is the battery original? How was the 50% state-of-health measured? Is the vehicle having slow cranking or warning messages? A battery showing under 50% health on a vehicle that's only about a year old would be unusual and worth verifying with the dealer first.

There have been similar reports on 2016-2022 RX models. The power back door has several safety inputs that can stop a close-and-lock cycle if it thinks there's an obstruction or someone is standing too close to the hatch. The "Close & Lock" function is often more sensitive than the regular "Close" function. In some cases, owners find that stepping farther away from the vehicle after pressing the button improves operation. Discussions from Lexus owners indicate the system may cancel the close/lock sequence if it detects a person remaining near the rear of the vehicle. [clublexus.com] Since yours has been doing it since new, I would continue documenting every occurrence. Record a video when it happens, showing that the hatch is fully open, no obstruction is present, the button is pressed, and the hatch does not respond. Many dealers are much more willing to open a warranty case when there's video evidence. It may also be worth asking the dealer to check for stored Power Back Door fault codes and any software updates related to the hatch system. Lexus troubleshooting information lists the close-and-lock function, door control switch, wiring, pinch/touch sensors, and liftgate ECU among the components involved when the close-and-lock feature is intermittent or inoperative. [lexusrx.net], [lexusrx.net] If the dealer can't duplicate it, a video is often your best friend. Intermittent electronic issues are notoriously difficult to catch while the vehicle is sitting in the service lane.

🏆 Yes! I will have to try that. I skipped that step, in my mind any way, because I will have to ask the paint store keeper to step outside to look at the wheel.I was hoping someone might have gone through this before. I have repaired "curbed" alloy wheels before, but had no luck matching the paint. Thanks for your help, RAY
