Since I purchased the car in November 2004 there have been repeated incidents when both the door locks and the doors themselves were frozen in "extreme" cold weather.
Usually I could get the trunk open, fold down the back seats and crawl through to the front to start the car.
As this has occurred more than several times each winter, I believe that there is/are definitely design flaws and perhaps inadequate materials used for the cold of the northern climates of Toronto.
Dealer is baffled.
Roaming the Internet has produced suggestion to use penetrating gun oil in the locks and on the door seals. Yet to be tried.
Should a 68-year old woman (or anyone else) have to be crawling into the car like this?
