Can a vehicle still be used normally after being frozen?

It depends on the specific situation. For vehicles sealed by the court, only the vehicle registration may be sealed. After sealing, the vehicle cannot undergo transfer or mortgage procedures, but its use is not affected. If the vehicle's use is restricted during sealing, it can be seized simultaneously. If the vehicle is seized by the court, it can no longer be used. Additional information: Legal basis: "Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on the Sealing, Seizure, and Freezing of Property in Civil Enforcement by the People's Courts" stipulate that for movable property sealed or seized, the People's Court may directly control such property. If the People's Court delivers the sealed or seized movable property to others for control, it shall affix a seal or take other appropriate measures sufficient to publicize the sealing or seizure.
That morning, when I planned to drive to work, I found the car door frozen shut and couldn't open it at all. The engine also wouldn't start. It turned out that the temperature had dropped below zero overnight, causing thick ice to form on the brake system and door locks. I tried pouring hot water, but it didn't work well. In the end, I had to wait nearly an hour for the ice to melt, wasting a lot of time. Since then, I've learned my lesson. Before using the car in winter, I check the weather forecast, keep professional de-icer or antifreeze on hand, and regularly change to low-temperature engine oil to reduce the risk of freezing. This way, I can avoid delays and ensure smooth daily driving. Don't underestimate these small things—they can save you a lot of trouble!
I've dealt with quite a few cases of frozen car issues. The most common problems are frozen brake fluid or coolant, which can lead to brake failure or engine smoking. If forced to operate under such conditions, brake failure could occur and cause accidents. My advice is to use a hairdryer or de-icing tools to slowly thaw the system first, then check the chassis for any accumulated water. If the antifreeze concentration is insufficient, it must be replaced. I've seen cases where owners neglected this, only to spend thousands on major engine repairs later. Regular maintenance to ensure fluid standards is crucial for safe driving and avoiding unexpected breakdowns on the road.
