Description of the problem	Vehicle power unlocking mechanism is unreliable, and shows significant defect in the unlocking capabilities of all but the drivers door. After several lock actuator replacements, the vehicle still exhibits improper operation. Dealership agrees that there is a common complaint with this vehicle, and it's lock operation. Biggest issue i see is having to leave my children unattended to enter the vehicle to manually unlock doors. I have researched this extensively, and found similar complaints online, in many forums etc - toyota refuses to acknowledge that there is an issue with the lock mechanisms. This has been an ongoing issue for over 2 years now, and should be examined for the safety impact at a greater scale.
