Have a 2002 Camry and I have now purchased my third inside door latch. Toyota must have discovered they have a problem because the newer Camry's are metal. I would hope the NHTSA would give consumers some help with this problem.

The contact stated the automatic door locks were defective. The dealer replaced both front door lock actuators, which corrected the problem with the door locks. After a while, both rear door locks failed. The dealer has not inspected the vehicle to determine the cause of the problem. The power window was inoperative. Updated 01/11/06.

Inside door latch on 2002 Camry made of plastic and break for no apparent reason. I have purchased 3 for my car. I am afraid that in an accident situation that the handle could break preventing exiting the car.

For past 6 months my power door locks take turns not working. Sometimes they stop working in two at a time and remain broken for a couple of weeks. There are time when they will not even open manually(even from the inside). This is very scary in the event I need to get out and cannot because of the locks. It usually starts with the left front, then left front and rear, then left rear, left and right rear, then right rear, right rear and right front, then right front, then right and left front doors. Then they will all work fine for a month. It appears, to me, to be some type of short in the wiring.

Door would not open on driver's side or any of the other doors, consumer could not unlock the doors with key or lock button. The transmitter would not respond either. Before when it would get real hot the transmitter wouldn't work and lights wouldn't work. But could open the doors and get out. Last night had to crawl out the window to get out of the vehicle.
