The inside door handles and exterior door locks break once every two or three months I have replaced them all with factory Toyota door handles and aftermarket door handles and out side door locks I have had them repaired at the Toyota dealership and by a couple different mechanic shops I have had to order and replace them myself no matter how gentle I am not even the slightest bit of pressure and they snap I have actually been locked inside my car to the point I have had to open the window and open the door handles to keep them in one piece long enough to make them last the trip from Louisiana to Iowa 980 miles one way that's the one way they have not broken by not useing them as expected I have them on order right now it's not been one callander month since I bought the car I have been able to not replace them it's now to the point I have 2 sets on order this way when they break except for when I have used the outside door handles as entry and exit points I would like to say that it's funny but when I was unable to get the window open and I couldn't exit the car it was a horrible fear after struggling with them I happened to be looking for something to brake the window and a man parked beside me seen my struggle and the fear on my face and he came to the door asked me if he could open it from the outside in relief I was not going to have to break my window I now roll the window completely up even in freezing or raining weather I also keep my back seat wedged open for the ability to exit the truck if it's ever nessary

Ignition fuse is all they can guess. I wiggle the fuse when the car won't fire and it works every time. Since they cannot duplicate the problem at the dealership they are at a loss as to how to help on a new car. Right?!
