Door locks keep popping open or shut many times per day. Sometimes when parked, other times when driving. This has been going on for over a year. Each time I take to the dealer, he says he can't find the reason. Toyota has no clue on why this electrical problem exists. I can't leave anything in the car, because when I return the locks are up.
