First right rear door would not lock, then right front, then driver rear door. Replaced one accuater. Within a week the other two failed and were told they needed replacing. For a year now the three doors lock or not intermittently.

When I did a google search, I found a rash of complaints about this model with this problem and a number of possible solutions: replacing the battery can reset the computer (which then needs to be reprogrammed), that the lock sensor could be bad, that there may be a short in the wiring harness in the driver door, or that the door lock computer module may need to be replaced. Toyota had and earlier recall for this problem and I feel they should recall the 2005 Camry and fix this lock problem free for their loyal customers! I own three Toyotas.

I bought my car in June 2005. At about 500 miles, when I put the car in park, all the door locks unlocked and my daughter who was sitting in the back driver side passenger seat could not open her door. The lock was in the unlock position and the child safety lock was not activated. I tried opening the door from the outside and could not. After a few times of locking/unlocking the doors, it finally opened. Toyota checked out door and found nothing. There have been at least 2 more occassions where this happened. I rated this problem as fairly significant, but God forbid there were some serious accident or fire, this problem could be fatal. I am going to contact Toyota regarding this issue again.
