I attempted to open my car door and the door handle simply snapped off in my hand. This is the second time this has occurred. The first time, my driver's door handle snapped off when a technician at my Goodyear repair shop tried to open it. Now, the exact same thing happened to my passenger driver's side door when I went to open it. Upon closer inspection, it seems that the manufacturing is defective, as the handle seems to have been simply glued on in spots rather than more securely attached. Bear in mind that this car is barely driven more than twice a week; it barely has any wear and tear and is under 80,000 miles despite 12 years of use.

The contact owns a 2013 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the rear driver’s side interior door latch was not able to open the door. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
Three of four car door locks, all of which should be automatic, have stopped working when trying to lock/unlock the car, both with remote and inside of car using driver's side car lock buttons. Forces us to manually lock/unlock each door lock when using the vehicle and letting any passengers in. Locks have to be manually locked when leaving the vehicle as well. I believe this issue should be addressed by manufacturer repair/replacement.
This model car has door lock issue. Door lock failure. Remote lock/unlock fails. Powered door locks/unlock wont work. No recall for 2013-14 model.

The power door locks have stopped working except for the passenger real door.
Two of the door locks no longer work with the key fob or the buttons on the door panel; the key must be used to unlock the door or you have to slide the lock manually. The drivers side door stopped working first then the drivers side passenger door stopped a month or so later.
