Consumer Description

I OWN A 2014 4RUNNER WITH LESS THAN 60K MILES ON IT. THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK IS COMPLETELY GONE AND THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE IS BEGINNING TO FAIL TOO. I'VE READ ON VARIOUS TOYOTA OWNERS WEBSITES THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I'M TOLD THAT THE COST TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR IS $700-800 PER DOOR. IT'S TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE TO ME TO SPEND $35K+ ON A VEHICLE TO THEN HAVE $1500 IN REPAIRS 3 1/2 YEARS LATER BECAUSE OF FAULTY EQUIPMENT. I COULD UNDERSTAND IF THE VEHICLE WAS 10-15 YEARS OLD.
