I live in nashville, tn so it's not like we have ferocious winters. At that point, my kids were 3 and 1 and obviously still needed to be in carseats. There were times i had to climb through the front seats with each of them because i could not get the doors open for…

Both automatic doors on our 2005 toyota sienna have been malfunctioning for the past 2 years. One does not close unless manually pushed and the other closes on people when they are in the way of the door. The "bounce-back" safety feature which is supposed to prevent the door from closing on people does not work. We have barely avoided serious injury with this door and do not allow our children to use it. Toyota…

If there was an emergency, they would not be able to get out. I have to get out and walk around the car to open it for them. This is…
