The driver door on my car will not open from the inside or outside. This is the 3rd time I have had an issue with the door locks on my car. The driver door lock actuator stopped working at 60000 miles, so I spent the $500 to replace it. Then the passenger front door actuator started acting up, and not working. Now my driver door will not open at all, the car currently has 85000 miles on it. This seems to me to be a safety issue, not having some kind of manual over ride to get the door open. I have been looking on the internet a lot, and have found this to be a common issue with toyota/lexus vehicles. I am a disabled veteran and trying to crawl out of my tiny car is very painful. I can only imagine what would happen if I were to get in a wreck and not be able to open my door.

Repeated issues with faulty door lock actuators on lexus ct and toyota prius models, resulting in unlocked doors at times when locked would be desired. In this particular lexus ct, the first door lock actuator stopped working at 36,000 miles exactly; driver's door. The second stopped working at 39,000 miles; driver-side rear door. The third stopped working at 39,500 miles; passenger- side rear door. Problems occur as car is stationary but being put into gear; then persist as driver is in transit. (for instance, if the door doesn't lock, it remains unlocked as driver is at stop light.) same problems on a 2010 model year toyota prius, which is built on same or similar platform as lexus ct. Replaced six door-lock actuators in 5 years on this 4-door car.
