| Description of the problem | The drivers door latch and lock freezes in cold weather. This happens any time temperature is below 27 degrees. Door will either not open or not latch closed. Very dangerous! On a colder morning, both right side door locks froze after i had opened them and drove away. In the event of an accident, in cold weather, i might not be able to get out of my vehicle! I also had to drive to work one day holding the drivers door closed! After air temperature or vehicle warms, latches and locks function normally. Not good living in a northern climate. |
