Door Lock Problems

Hi guys,
I've had my car a couple weeks now (less than 300 miles), and I have a strange door lock problem. I have not changed any of the lock settings as it came from the factory. On four separate occasions my doors would not unlock from inside the car. Sometimes while driving I decide to lock my doors, then when I reach my destination and turn off the car, the doors will not unlock. It doesn't matter if I use the unlock on the inside drivers door or passenger door or key fob. I cannot manually pull up on the drivers (stick?) either, but can pull up on the passenger stick. In this situation I have to roll down the window and use the key to unlock the driver door from the outside. I first time it happened I actually crawled over the center console to get out of my car! I took it to the dealer on Monday and they could not duplicate the problem (no surprise since I had driven the car about 20+ times at that point and it had only happen twice. Today it happen two more times (2 of the 4 drives today). I am pissed to say the least. Looks like its going back to the dealer (so they can look at me like I'm an F-ing retard). Anyone else heard of this, or have some thoughts. I love the car but this is goddamn ridiculous.
Regards,
John

Yes, but rightfully so.

Yup ... it's typical TL quality. The first time I've heard about this problem after what? ... about 30,000 or so cars? A failure rate of 1/30,000?

Toyota would be lucky to make cars this well!
