| Description of the problem | I have had to replace every automatic opener door locks on every door and some twice (early 2014 to present). They can't tell me why the keep failing. Now that the car is out of warranty i now have 2 more automatic door locks that have failed. I have another friend who owns a highlander and he is having the automatic door openers fail. This must be a defect in the design of these locks. |
