I opened my passenger rear door (the door that gets used the least) yesterday, it then wouldn't close, the locking mechanism wouldn't work. It was -15C, about 5F, but its been colder than that before,never had this problem, even at -25C.
No Kessy, just regular locks.
I sat the car in the sun, left it running with the heat up, called the dealer to see if I could park it indoors for a while. They said yes, but they also had 3 or 4 other cars with frozen doors, Jettas and Passats. One Passat had a frozen heater fan, it wouldn't run until left indoors for the car to warm up.
Before I left for the dealer, the door was working again, but was not working again last night when I went out.
The dealer suggested lubrication, which I did today.
Anyone else with this problem?
