| Description of the problem | All interior door handles are cracked due to plastic material cracking. Handles are all exposed and hanging by a spring. At times handles won't open doors & they have to be opened from exterior. Extremely dangerous if in a situation where you couldn't exit vehicle. It appears from research that the manufacturer will not replace even though this is an extreme widespread problem. Many threads online discuss this issue. The fix is to replace entire door panel at up to nearly $700 each. I can't imagine having to pay $2800 to fix my door handles due to a manufacturer's faulty design. |
