Consumer Description

THIS IS A RECURRING INCIDENT. ON COLD DAYS, THE SLIDING DOORS WILL FREEZE SHUT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, AND SOME FOLKS ON WEB FORUMS HAVE RECOMMENDED FILING A COMPLAINT TO HOPEFULLY GET TOYOTA TO ISSUE A RECALL AND RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE FREEZING DOOR PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED BY THE ELECTRICAL DOOR LOCK MECHANISM AND OPEN/CLOSE SENSOR ON THE SLIDER. IN MANY CASES, THE FAILED ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE FROZEN DOOR IS ENOUGH TO TRIGGER THE DOOR "OPEN" SENSOR AND CAUSE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON. *TR
