2005 4 DOOR TOYOTA CAMRY. BACK DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IN LOCKED POSITION AND DOES NOT OPEN AT ALL. CALLED GATEWAY TOYOTA IN TOMS RIVER, NJ AND THEY STATED WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. ONLINE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS SHOW THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM AND IS OCCURRING QUITE OFTEN. WITH CHILDREN IN BACK SEAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM IF AN EMERGENCY WERE TO OCCUR! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IN HOT WEATHER THE POWER DOOR LOCK BUTTON INSIDE WOULD ONLY OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND NOT THE OTHER DOORS. WHEN HE UNLOCKED THE VEHICLE MANUALLY IT WOULD ONLY OPEN ONE DOOR. THE BUTTON INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PULLED SO THAT THE THREE OTHER DOORS WOULD UNLOCK. THE DEALER WAS INFORMED ABOUT THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY HAD TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53000.

ACTUATORS IN MY 2005 CAMRY SE CONTINUE TO STICK; THEREBY CAUSING ALL OF THE PASSENGER DOORS TO NOT OPEN THE MAJORITY (90%) OF THE TIME. I REPORTED THE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY TO TOYOTA CORPORATE AND THE DEALER (BAIERL TOYOTA IN CRANBERRY, PA) BECAUSE IT'S ALSO A SAFETY RISK; ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A 3 MONTH YEAR OLD AND A 2 YEAR OLD. THE TOYOTA MECHANIC ALSO REPORTED THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND THE ACTUATORS SHOULD BE REPLACED. *TR

THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS ARE EXTRACTED FROM A COMPLAINT FILED WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER IN CALIFORNIA. THE FULL TEXT IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST: "THIS PARTICULAR CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH 'DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE AIRBAGS AND FRONT AND REAR SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS'. I HAD SPECIFICALLY LOOKED FOR A CAMRY HAVING THIS ENHANCED SAFETY OPTION, IT ALSO CAME WITH A HIGHER PRICE THAN A REGULAR CAMRY LE. I WAS WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE ON THE BASIS THAT I WOULD MAKE A WISE INVESTMENT IN MY OWN SAFETY. THINGS TURNED OUT CONTRARY TO MY EXPECTATIONS, AS I WILL EXPLAIN IN THE FOLLOWING. NOT LONG AFTER MY PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS UTTERLY UNCOMFORTABLE, SOMEHOW UNEVEN WITH THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT (THE SIDE NEXT TO THE DOOR) BEING STIFFER AND SOMEHOW PUSHING FORWARD WHILE THE RIGHT SIDE IS LEANING BACK AND MUCH SOFTER. AS A RESULT THE DRIVER'S UPPER BODY WILL BE TWISTED, THE LEFT SIDE FORWARD WHILE THE RIGHT SIDE LEANING BACKWARDS. I FIRST ASSUMED THIS IS A TEMPORARY CONDITION. LIKE WITH EVERYTHING NEW IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME UNTIL THINGS GET ADJUSTED AND AFTER SOME USE I FIGURED, THE SEAT MAY SOMEHOW LOOSEN UP A LITTLE. I CONTINUOUSLY KEPT ON TRYING TO ARRIVE AT A COMFORTABLE POSITION BY ADJUSTING MY POSITION IN THE SEAT BUT MY EFFORTS WERE UNSUCCESSFUL." "AT THIS POINT I AM INCREASINGLY FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE OF MY BEING UNABLE TO FIND ANY COMFORTABLE POSITION IN MY SEAT. I KEEP ON TWISTING AND TURNING, CONTINUOUSLY READJUSTING MY SEATING POSITION. I COULD NOT STAY MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES IN THE SAME POSITION IN THIS SEAT. AND DURING THOSE RARE FIVE MINUTE PERIODS MY BACK IS NOT FULLY LEANING AGAINST THE BACKREST, HALF OF MY BACK DOES NOT LEAN ON ANYTHING UNLESS I ACCEPT A PAINFUL POSITION WHERE MY UPPER BODY IS ROTATED DIAGONALLY AND IS FACING RIGHT RELATIVE TO THE NORMAL (STRAIGHT AHEAD) SEATING POSITION. MY DRIVING IS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRED BECAUSE OF THIS..." *TR

I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS THE ONLY DOOR THAT HAS AN OUTSIDE LOCK THAT WORKS WITH A KEY. THE LOCK BEGAN NOT WORKING EITHER WITH THE KEY OR WITH THE REMOTE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LOCK ASSEMBLY AND ACTUATOR FOR APPROXIMATELY $500.00. NOW THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS FAILED. AGAIN THEY ARE TELLING ME I NEED A NEW ACTUATOR. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS THAT DESCRIBE THIS SAME FAILURE. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR NOT ONLY 2005 BUT OTHER YEARS. HERE ARE A FEW OUT THERE ALSO FOR 2005 CAMRYS: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/TOYOTA/CAMRY/2005/ELECTRICAL/REAR_DOOR_LOCK_GETS_STUCK.SHTML HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2005/TOYOTA/CAMRY/DOOR+LATCH HTTP://WWW.2CARPROS.COM/FORUM/2005-TOYOTA-CAMRY--DRIVER-SIDE-DOOR-AUTOMATIC-DOOR-UNLOCK-DO-VT198187.HTML. *TR
