| Description of the problem | A few months ago the interior door trim on the drivers side front door shattered around the door handle. The door handle still releases the door but you need to wiggle it around a bit and get it aligned properly before being able to open the door. Not driving the vehicle often and thinking it was just a small, easily replaced part i did not take it too seriously. It was only when i looked into it, realized it was the whole door panel and saw that so many other owners were having the same problem that i decided to report it. As a firefighter, and having responded to fatal car fires, i would hate to think of what may happen if someone was to be in an accident and had to get out of their vehicle quickly but couldn't because they could not afford to fix this issue which costs in excess of $500 per door. |
