2nd repair for remaining automatic door locks. Approximately 1 year ago the driver and left rear door locking mechanisms were replaced. The doors would not lock and the door locking mechanism was replaced on the driver and left rear door. The same problem was encountered for the passenger side this year. Toyota did split the cost with me on this second repair. This problem seems prevalent in the Toyota products
