The actuator in left & right front door for 2002 Toyota Rav4 not working.
The lock for my passenger door and drivers door is defected. With the passenger door, it will not lock or unlock using the key tag; the drivers door does the same, however once locked you can't unlock the door with the key. You have to get inside through another door and unlock it from within.
Driver side front door power lock fails to lock or unlock with auto lock button. Has to be locked or unlocked by hand. Passenger side front door lock also starting to fail.
Actuator for driver side front door lock failed to work with in car electronic button . All other locks work correctly.
The rear luggage cover does not stay up and numerous times it has slipped and hit me or one of my family on the head. This weekend, it slipped again and caused a cut on my head. I asked the dealer about a fix for this and he stated none noted and they have had similar complaints but no TSB or recalls issued. This luggage compartment cover is dangerous and needs to be re-designed.
