Yes, I certainly understand that. Perhaps I missed an
earlier discussion, are you saying the dealer deemed
the car water damaged/drowned history?





Yes, I understand that also. But the OP seemed to be
complaining about issues that I assumed were not just
caused by dirt(aka confirmed/denied dirt cause). Per-
haps I misunderstood.

Yes.  Years of discussions.

Do a search on "mcbrue" in this newsgroup and you'll find years of his
whiney, stupid trolling.

No, The OP has never mentioned that the vehicle was drowned or submerged in
water, but even if it were, it would not be covered by the automaker's
warranty.

The symptoms that the OP is complaining are most likely caused by dirt.

Occasional, "phantom" wipes of the windshield wipers is caused by dirt over
the windshield sensor that the sensor interprets as water.  The windshield
may appear to be clean, but dirt over the sensor, which is not visible from
inside the car, would be wiped away if you get out of the car and take a
look.  I remedy this problem in my car by leaving the windshield wipers in
the off position most of the time and in the auto position on those days
with intermittent or continuous rain and snow.

If the parking sensors are heavily obstructed with snow, ice, salt, dirt,
etc., the parking system cannot tell the difference between that stuff and
another object that is close by, so it beeps.  If the obstruction keeps up
with the car,, i.e., the "object" keeps up with the car as it is going down
the road, the system knows that the sensor is obstructed and gives a
message.  Cleaning the sensors solves the problem.

The OP's Lexus dealer probably washes his car after they have it in the
shop, so the problems are gone until the car gets dirty again.
