| Description of the problem | The rear driver-side door handle fell off the vehicle; the plastic used to attach the handle to the interior portion of the mechanism simply broke inside the door -- no damage had been done prior to the handle and it was not used harshly. The passenger-side front door handle has become very loose and the plastic on the inside of the door handle appears to be cracking. |
