| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 toyota sienna le without automatic doors. 1. In the winter the doors freeze shut and will open on their own while driving once the temperature warms up. Anything under 38 degrees this happens. 2. The sliding rear doors do not open about 50% of the time, once the passenger side door did not open for 4 months and then started working again out of the blue. I find these glitches dangerous to my family. Especially, when the frozen doors open while driving or when the sliding doors will not open from the inside or outside. What if the car was on fire or submerged in water? We would die. |
