| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own kia-sephia-2000. when the temperature is under 0 degrees the doors freeze so badly that i cannot shut the driver's side door or any other door that i might open and then try to close. most often,. after i started and ran the heat at that time the door might close shut. one evening in january, i had to drive the entire time , 27 miles or 45 minutes with the driver's side door unable to close. i was holding it closed as tightly as i could. no amount of wd40 would help this situation. i live in an area that goes down to 40 below, and that is not the wind chill factor. when i purchased this vehicle a block heater was immediately added to it for anticipation of the cold weather.*ak |
