| Description of the problem | We own a 2004 toyota sienna xl. When temps get cold the rear doors freeze shut. Even after letting the van warm up for 20 minutes the doors are frozen and they stay frozen the entire trip. I have to climb into the back from the front seat. I drive 25 miles to work and cross a river what if the doors are frozen and i am in an accident how would they or me get my baby out of the back!!!! Toyota dealer said toyota is aware of the problem!! Are they waiting for someone to die before they fix it. Please help! Kim stokes |
