Systems and methods for detecting and responding to stuck vehicle doors, where the doors are stuck due to ice formation on the vehicle. In particular, systems and methods are provided to utilize diagnostic signals from the vehicle door motor controller to automate the process of detecting stuck doors due to ice formation. Vehicle internal systems can be used to attempt to unstick a stuck door without manual intervention. Additionally, vehicle routing can be used to unstick a stuck door without manual intervention. For example, a vehicle can be routed to a facility where the temperature is above freezing so any ice formation on the vehicle will melt. Vehicle routing can also be used to route the vehicle to a facility for service to unstick the stuck door.
