Description of the problem	Within a period of about 6 months, three of the four door handles have fallen off, including two that came off within two weeks of each other. This occurred when the vehicle was stationary. The handles hadn't been previously damaged or involved in any accidents, and we don't treat them roughly. The handles have fallen off the front driver's side and both rear doors. The rear driver's side door is almost never used, so i'm disinclined to attribute the problem to wear and tear. When the rear passenger door handle came off, the plastic snapped apart. We paid to have that handle replaced by the dealer. The rear driver door handle, which came off two weeks ago, remained intact, but a triangular metal piece came out when the handle fell away. The front driver's side door handle came off today when my husband had the car, so i haven't seen its condition. Since his key fob no longer works, he now has to get into the car is by climbing in the front passenger side. Given that we've lost three handles in so short a time, it appears the parts are inferior and have reached the end of their life.
