What owners wrote
I was at a stop sign on the corner of ferry and eighth in niles, mi getting ready to turn northbound; a truck was going southbound and it was blizzard and icy conditions out, he was going to fast and when I turned right, he hit me on the drivers side spun my vehicle around twice and ended up hitting both sides of the vehicle in the front of the van taking the whole front end off. Neither air bags went off and my granddaughter was also in the front passenger seat.
Power sliding door frozen in locked position. Will not open using inside or outside door handle, key fob, center control consle switch or side pillar switch. Manual door lock slide in inside handle not moving. Completely unable to use door to enter or exit vehicle. Potential for trapping rear passengers inside vehicle in case of crash or fire. Gas tank cover door closed so it is not keeping the left side door from opening. Car was parked when problem appeared. No physical damage to door either interior or exterior.
