Defect Description:

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH:EMERGENCY MECHANICAL RELEASE

Potential Consequences:

1) Electrical malfunction with warning of locking malfunction transiently appearing 2) Locked inside the car and the manual door release would not work after the above. 3) Finally got out after using key fob and multiple attempts to use the door handle, closed the door, and the car locked and could not open it with either the key fob, Lexus application, nor with the emergency physical key (it would turn but not unlock the door). 4) After 1st malfunction, had a smell of burned electrical component but NO smoke or fire. The hybrid system was fully charged however, it is probable that after speaking to Lexus while inside the car with the ignition on to trouble shoot a charging scheduling issue, the 12 volt battery was partially discharged. The car has 441 miles and after Lexus service arrived, they were able to get it drivable HOWEVER, check engine light remained on and "system malfunction...visit your dealer" was also on the entire 7 mile trip to the dealer with the tow truck following me all the way. I kept the window open despite the rain so that I could get out if something else happened.
