What owners wrote
Driving in a neighborhood at 30MPH, while going up a steep hill car suddenly accelerated, attempt to brake was unsuccessful, put in neutral and shut off ignition causing car to go back down hill into a building.
On 01/03/13 temperature outside was in the single & lower teens. I entered my 2005 ford taurus closed the driver side door it was frozen. I then let car run for 40 minutes blowing heat directly on interior driver door, I then tried passenger door seem to be ok. When driver side door became unfrozen I drove off, the passenger front door flew open, I pulled the car off the road, I tried to close door, still frozen. After 1 hour of warm up both doors finally closed.
