looks like your door actuators are shot. they are about $200-250 each. carson toyota should have the lowest price.

Just call Carson's and ask for Luis he'll take care of you. 1-800-908-6968..... and by the way it's your actuators like everyone else is saying these are known to go out in the GS's....

well, im no mechanic and none of us can diagnos ur car, BUT like everyone said... odds are its ur actuators. now whether or not this is a DIY or u are mechanically able to do this, i dont know. i personally would MAKE SURE its the actuators and then purchase them. u dont want to purchase them and not need them. did they stop workin at the same time or did one stop and then the next one a little bit later?? if they stopped workin at the same time, it seems odd, but possible i guess if one stopped and then the other stopped later, then yea, odds are its the actuators. good luck and let us know how it goes

the driver's side door stopped working a few weeks ago. a few days ago the passenger side stopped working.

does anyone have any experience with changing the actuators? i'm not a mechanic but i'm pretty handy around the house.

is there a way for me to diagnose this problem myself or is this a pro's job?

btw. i called up carson. they told me its $208/pc no tax since i'm having it shipped.
