Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driver's door will not open/unlatch from the outside in cold weather, I.e., below 35 degrees, locked or unlocked. The car was stationary, parked, twice in the driveway, twice away from the house in a parking lot. This just started happening but happens now each time the temperature drops overnight. There are many similar complaints online with no solution.”
NHTSA complaint #11290142, filed 2019-12, 3,500 miles“In temperatures below 35 degrees, the drivers door does not open. It clearly makes an unlocking sound when unlock is activated, but the handle acts as if it is locked. I have to crawl through another door to open it from the inside. Only the driver side door is effected, and it opens as normal from the inside. Happens regardless of whether the vehicle is on or off. Obviously stationary.”
