Description of the problem | I have three separate door lock actuaters that have failed or are failing all within a 2 month period with only 51000 miles on the odometer. The front right passenger door will not lock or unlock unless i manually flip the switch, and the front left driver door and left rear passenger door intermittently will not lock or unlock when i use the key fob or when i shift the car into gear. This makes it difficult to know if the car is secured when i park it or when starting to drive, and i am concerned if the rear child safety locks do not function correctly now. I have had the toyota dealership in rochester mn confirmed the need for 3 door lock actuators and are asking for over $1400 for fixing them. I am in touch with toyota north america hoping to be approved for a "goodwill" fix. Doing further research online shows two separate law firms investigating this issue as there has been a significant uptick in door lock actuator failures in various toyota vehicles. I believe they are defective. |
