| Description of the problem | My 2005 toyota sienna xle awd vehicle's automatic side doors become stuck and will not open. It happens in cold weather and is very upsetting because if i have attempted to open the door and then it will not open when i drive it i am afraid it might become "unstuck" and open on it's own. I called the dealer about the problem and they told my to bring it in and they would grease the doors but that is not the problem. Something inside the door mechanism is freezing due to the cold. After the car is used for a while the doors start working again. I am afraid my passengers will get locked in the back and that i will be unable to get them out of the car. |
