I have been having constant problems with the automatic ignition controlled door locks unlocking when they're not supposed to, starting at about 38000 miles. Either when I'm driving, or after the security system (securikey+, dealer installed) has been activated. Also power lock button on driver's door will occasionally fail to operate properly (it'll lock the doors but will not unlock them). Car has been taken to two Toyota service departments seven times over the past seven months. All "repairs" have been temporary, lasting from two months to two weeks. I get a different diagnosis each time. The actuator is the only part that has been replaced.

Corolla 4WD

My car is automatic. Sometimes when I am driving it "revs" really high like over 4. and thats only when I am going 30mph. Even if I put overdrive on it still doesnt work. Also my low gas light indicator fades in and out. Its doesnt come on until the car is past the "E". and the last problem is my locks. When I am driving I lock my doors. And then when I turn off my car, take my keys out, it wont let my unlock my door. I have automatic doors and it shouldnt be doing this. One last comment is that these problems do not happen on all the time. But at least once a week. I have brought it in to the Toyota dealer many times and they say there is nothing wrong. I know there is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
