| Description of the problem | As many people have stated online, the door handles falling off are a common occurrence. I have had to replace two handles on my car already, first my rear drivers side and now the front passenger side. The commonality of this problem clearly indicates a major engineering issue on the behalf of the manufacturer and customers should not be made to pay for repairs for a manufacturing issue. Each handle has cost me just under $65 to replace. |
