The power door cable keeps getting bent from binding and eventually breaks. This has happened 5 times since I bought this car. Only the first time, it was covered under an extended warranty and it costs over $1500 every time this cable breaks because Toyota does not sell the cables separate and you have to buy the whole assembly. Luckily, I am able to change this part myself. Toyota charges about 4 hours of labor to do this.
I wish I didn't buy this option when I bought the car.
