My complaint is about the unsafe power door lock mechanism used on the 2006 toyota camry xle (and countless other vehicles they produce) I am now on my fifth failure. Every single power door lock failed and now it's starting all over again! This is a major safety hazard! If you get into a bad wreck and the power doors fail to open it could be a matter of life and death. Every second counts! I'll be glad to give you access to the car and provide any further info you need.
