2017 TOYOTA CAMRY SE. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 8 TIMES NOW FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS AND A CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES THAT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS WOULD NOT LOCK/UNLOCK AND ON TWO OCCURRENCES WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION THE DOORS UNLOCKED THEMSELVES WITHOUT BEING COMMANDED. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER 4 TIMES FOR THE ISSUE BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY REPLACED 3 OF 4 OUT OF SAFETY. I BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO THE GENERAL MANAGER ATTENTION THAT IT SHOULD TAKE 4 VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET A SAFETY FEATURE FIXED. HE TOLD ME TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR ACTUATORS AND HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THE ENGINEERS HAVE NOT CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. CLEARLY ITS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR ADDRESS. THE CAR HAD BEEN IN APPROX. 8 TIMES NOW FOR A CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKING SYSTEM THAT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID TOYOTA'S ARE KNOWN FOR THIS. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO PAY FOR A BRAKE JOB EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND THEY KNOW THEIR IS AN DEFECT WITH THE SYSTEM. I HAVE VOICED MY CONCERNS TO TOYOTA BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OR FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
