| Description of the problem | In the last three months, both driver's side door handles have fallen off/broken. In the first incident (sept 2020), the driver's side rear door handle broke off the car when i tried to open the door. In the second incident (nov 2020), the driver's side front door handle remained on the car but broke so that it no longer functions. Both incidences occurred when the vehicle was stationary. It is unknown why the door handles broke; i did not use excessive force nor was there any indication of a problem prior to these incidences. |
