Locked me out even with key in pocket.

Wondering if anyone has had this issue with their Lexus. (I have a 2026 Lexus NX360h Premium)

Took my dad to the grocery store, right as we were checking out I remote started the car with my phone to get the AC going. We got to the car opened the back, put our groceries in, then my dad got in the front passenger to wait while I ran into another store. Since the remote start states it’ll turn off in 10min I quickly hopped in the driver seat and turned on the car fully so he could sit in the car. The car shouldn’t turn off.

I walked in and forgot to ask my dad something, ran back out and asked him to roll down the window, it wouldn’t let him nor would it let him open his door, and even though I was next to the car with the key it wouldn’t let me open his door. I ran around to the drivers side and still couldn’t open the door.

The car was still on and I was standing outside with the key. My dad reached over and opened the driver’s door from the inside and ai was able to get in. What the heck happened. This scares me if I had my dog in the car. My car is only a month old so it’s not a dead key fob.

Also once we finally got the door opened I closed the drivers side door to see if it would lock me out again and it didn’t that time and opened right up.
