2010 lexus hs 250h start malfunction, all lights flickering then nothing. Attempted jumping the 12v battery off but that did not work, attempted replacing key fob battery and that did not work. Now there is no lights or electricity the only lights that flicker are the p light which strobes slightly and when the brake is played with (depressed and let out several times) I can get the light "key not detected" and the "triangle with the !" to come on. Then when I hold fob to the power button it will say, "depress brake and push power button to start car" however that does not work. Car was stationary in park in garage and had been driven not even 45 minutes prior.

Takata recall: I've had 2 incidents where all four of my car windows were down. Also my moonroof window was open. I assume they went down by themselves. The car was parked. I'd go out to my car. My car was locked. I always lock it and nothing appeared to be stolen or broken. The first incident happened around the time there was a recall on the car for potential hybrid system failure. I didn't know if it had to do something with that but I took it into a lexus dealership to get it fixed for the recall. It didn't happen after that again until december of 2018. So both times I had locked my car, came back to my car eventually, and saw my windows were down. Different heights. Nothing was taken or broken.
