Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Electrical
Filed Feb 6, 2004

DOOR LOCKS KEEP POPPING OPEN OR SHUT MANY TIMES PER DAY. SOMETIMES WHEN PARKED, OTHER TIMES WHEN DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR. EACH TIME I TAKE TO THE DEALER, HE SAYS HE CAN'T FIND THE REASON. TOYOTA HAS NO CLUE ON WHY THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM EXISTS. I CAN'T LEAVE ANYTHING IN THE CAR, BECAUSE WHEN I RETURN THE LOCKS ARE UP.*AK
