Was heading to work and as I went to get into my vehicle, remotely unlocked the doors but they wouldn't open.. This has happened numerous times this winter. Try to pull the handles and scared going to damage or worse, break them off from pulling so hard. Appears as temperatures drop, in this case, around 10-15 degrees above zero, the doors just would not open.. Ended up having to wait about twenty minutes until the sun came up.. tried again and again every fifteen minutes and finally got the driver door open.. then had to push out from the inside of the vehicle the rest of the doors.. could hear ice cracking and crumbling.. saw it falling out when the door popped open.
"I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY DOORS FREEZING SHUT. WATER RUN ALONG THE RUBBER SEAL & FREEZES IN COLD WEATHER OR POOLS WHEN IT RAINS. LAST WEEK ALL DOORS WERE FROZE. WHEN I FINALLY GOT IN, THERE WAS AN INCH OF ICE IN BOTH BOTTOM BACK DOOR WELLS & 12" TO 14" ICICLES HANGING IN THE HINGES IN BOTH FRONT DOORS. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL, DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY DEALER, BERT WOLFE FORD, CHARLESTON, WV 3 TIMES. I'VE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE IN MY AREA, THEIRS DOESN'T DO THIS. ONE LADY ACTUALLY WENT TO BERT WOLFE WITH ME ON A RAINY DAY TO SHOW HERS DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. JAMIE SIX, SERVICE MANAGER SAID, "ED @ WATER DOCTOR SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE TO FIX IT, THEY ALL DO THIS." I TOLD JAMIE I DIDN'T BUY IT FROM ED. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED FORD SINCE I WENT THROUGH THE CHANNELS, 2 YEARS & NO RESOLUTION. I WONDER WHO WILL FIX THE RUBBER & RUST ONCE THE WARRANTY IS UP?
