Description of the problem	2009 toyota highlander limited door actuators have all broke, been replaced and broke again. Some are being replaced for the 3rd time since i owed the vehicle (making it the 4th lock on the car). At the moment only 1 door lock works and i have to climb across to open the other doors. I am extremely concerned that they will all break and i will not be able to get my daughter out of the car. I started contacting toyota in 2013 when they all started breaking. I also can not open the car with the key. 8/2012- drivers lock and actuator replaced and window 6/2013- right rear door actuator replaced 7/2013- passenger door actuator replaced 3/2014- left rear door actuator replaced 4/2014- drivers lock actuator replaced (again) 5/2014- right rear door actuator replaced (again) 2015- left rear actuator broke again this time my extended warranty is up and they want 600 to fix. 2016- passenger actuator broke 9/2018- drivers actuator broke for the 3rd time.
