Automatic door lock and unlock stops working. My car had just passed 60k when the driver side door will not open or lock by pressing the key fob. After couple month all 4 doors have the same issue. I have to lock and unlock all 4 doors by manually unlocking using the key. After research found out the door actuators have failed on all 4 doors and multiple toyota and lexus owners are experiencing the same issue.

I only heard the pop when driving the vehicle, and it was worse on sunny/hot days. I would hear the pop when driving and turning at lower speeds.

Takata recall. Sunroof/moonroof makes a popping, thumping noise when driving over uneven pavement and when turning into my driveway as if something is lose. Vehicle has only 23k miles and no longer covered under mfg warranty. After researching, this seems to be a common problem and not covered by my extended warranty.

As i am driving i can hear a cracking noise coming from the sunroof they found it was a weld that had broken loose after some research i've realized that many other toyota owners are having the same issue. Toyota does not see it as a defect which does not make sense if the weld they placed is not holding shouldn't they reweld it? Well they won't and the noise gets louder and more consistent. They also made a part to…

On 02-18-2014, i was driving on interstate 55 and the sunroof/moonroof on my 2012 toyota camry suddenly, and without apparent reason, imploded. Because i had the sunroof shade open, glass flew into the cabin of the car. Fortunately, although i could feel glass sticking in my forearm and palm, i was not cut and there were no other passengers in the car. Also, traffic was light and i did not crash as a result of it.…
