Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have 2001 bmw x5 3.0. after last week's snow storm and cold weather in boston area, my 2001 x5 doors are frozen. actually, i opened them from outside yesterday morning (feels like door handle got frozen). but then i could not get them closed. so, i had to push down door lock (little knob) by window and pull hard to get them closed. now, i could not open them at all. i am climbing in and out of the trunk door to get inside. fortuately, there is no accident. but, i think this is a serious safety issue when an accident does occur (hard to escape). bmw north america is aware of this problem (si 51 51 02), however there is no proper action from them.*ak
