NHTSA Complaint #11208785 — 2014 LEXUS CT HYBRID

THE DRIVER DOOR ON MY CAR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE DOOR LOCKS ON MY CAR. THE DRIVER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR STOPPED WORKING AT 60000 MILES, SO I SPENT THE $500 TO REPLACE IT. THEN THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR ACTUATOR STARTED ACTING UP, AND NOT WORKING. NOW MY DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL, THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 85000 MILES ON IT. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT HAVING SOME KIND OF MANUAL OVER RIDE TO GET THE DOOR OPEN. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET A LOT, AND HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH TOYOTA/LEXUS VEHICLES. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN AND TRYING TO CRAWL OUT OF MY TINY CAR IS VERY PAINFUL. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WERE TO GET IN A WRECK AND NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN MY DOOR.
