Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2001 bmw x5. in cold weather the doors freeze up not allowing access in or out of the vehicle. i have had to crawl through the hatch or rear doors to get out of the vehicle. this has happened numerous times and creates a real hazard as you cannot egress the vehicle quickly. also the latch freezes and will not allow the door to close so the door can fly open while driving. i am an active member on a bmw owners message board and this is a recurring problem for many drivers. *nm
