Description of the problem | Concerning issue description from vw: "in extreme outside cold temperatures the front door latches may freeze (due to moisture), preventing door latch from operating." my car was parked outside of my apartment in columbus, indiana. The ambient temperature was 28 f. Front driver's door latch can't be opened from outside nor inside. I have unlocked the door using remote and all other three doors can be opened. I'm concerned if an accident occurs, i'll be trapped inside because i can't open the door on driver's side. |
