| Description of the problem | Sliding doors freeze shut whenever temperature is below freezing. The toyota service departments solution is to spray the door weather stripping with silicone spray which does solve the problem but only for a short duration of time (1 month max) and does not solve the problem at colder temperatures (below 20 degrees f) where the doors always freeze shut. This issue is potentially dangerous by trapping the passengers inside with no means of egress, especially in the event of a front end collision where even the front doors are inoperable. This is a know issue with this year/model toyota van, with many others experiencing the same problem. I have experienced the problem when trying to attempt to enter the vehicle and exiting the vehicle after the temperature has dropped while driving. |
