2008 Toyota Prius Latches & Locks Problems

SOME MONTHS AGO THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING. I ENDED UP USING THE KEY TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, SINCE TOYOTA DEALER QUOTED ME $500 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS, I DECIDED TO PAY AND THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. TO MY SURPRISE, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK IS GOING BAD NOW. WHEN I TRY TO UNLOCK IT FROM WITHIN THE CAR, USING THE "UNLOCK DOORS" BUTTON, IT WILL WORK EVERY 3RD TIME OR SO. CLEARLY A BIGGER ISSUE, NOT ISOLATED TO MY INDIVIDUAL VEHICLE. I ONLY HAVE 70000 MILES AND ALWAYS SERVICED MY VEHICLE AT THE TOYOTA DEALERS. I WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO PAY TO FIX MY LOCK AND REIMBURSE ME FOR THE ACTUATOR I ALREADY PAID TO REPLACE. *JS
