| Description of the problem | On both occasions preceding these events the weather was a contributing factor. Whether conditions were rain/ice/snow and freezing temps. On 2 separate incidents both sliding doors have become frozen shut. I was unable to open either door . On one occasion i had to drive the vehicle for about 45 min with the heat on high before i could open the doors. Also the doors were not completely closed causing the interior lights to go on and off and the warning chime to sound continually. We have four young children and will not put them in vehicle through the rear hatch. Not being able to open the doors is an unacceptable safety hazard. |
