NHTSA Complaint #10287477 — 2004 TOYOTA SIENNA

THE DOORS ON MY 2004 TOYOTA MINIVAN HAVE BEEN FREEZING EVERY WINTER SEASON SINCE 2006. CANADA TOYOTA HAS MADE THIS A RECALL ITEM, BUT THE UNITED STATES WILL NOT? I FIND THIS TO BE ABSURD - ESPECIALLY WHEN CHILDREN HAVE TO CLIMB UP THROUGH THE FRONT SEATS TO GET OUT OF VEHICLES. THIS COULD BE FATAL IN AN ACCIDENT IF THE DOORS CAN NOT BE OPENED. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY CLAIM TO USE WRENCH GREASE TO LUBE THE DOORS TO HELP AND PREVENT FROM STICKING. I LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND AND THE DOORS HAVE ALREADY STARTING FREEZING SHUT THIS YEAR (OCT 2009). THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING, THIS ISN'T A CHEAP VEHICLE AND IT WAS PURCHASED FOR FAMILY USE. TOYOTA HAS REALLY FAILED THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WITH THEIR MINIVANS. I WOULD HAVE USED THIS AVENUE TO COMPLAIN YEARS AGO - I HAVE BEEN WASTING MY TIME TRYING TO WORK WITH THE TOYOTA COMPANY. PLEASE HELP *TR
