door lock problem - 2003 ES-300

Recently, after my warranty ended, the rear door/driver side automatic door lock stopped working on my 2003 ES-300. I spoke with a friend with the identical vehicle and he told me that the same door lock stopped working on his ES-300. After Googling a search, I found several messages indicating that this may be a "known issue" and that dealers are installing "updated door locks". Before I contact my dealer, I am wondering if others have had this issue. Everything else on the vehicle has worked flawlessly, so I am surprised that something like this would fail so quickly.

I am also wondering if I might have inadvertently disengaged a feature that would keep the lock permanently locked (I once did this unknowingly with my automatic trunk latch).

Thanks!

There is no feature that keeps any of the passenger doors permanently locked, although there is a child safety feature on the rear doors. When engaged, the interior door release does not work although the door can be opened from the outside.
