| Description of the problem | Basically the door handle mechanisms disintegrated. The drivers side front and rear door plastic that surrounds the door handles broke into several small pieces and fell inside the door. I feel this is a danger because eventually the cable that opens the doors will break and i will not be able to open the doors. I have checked into having them repaired but it was very expensive due to the fact that the plastic around the handles is 1 piece with the rest of the plastic of the inside of the door. Also, although this is not a danger - the display screen for all the of electronics of the car, went black several years ago. I am unable to access a lot of the information about the car. We paid over $43,000 for the car - these things should not happen. The door handle really scares me. I have signed petitions to have this recalled as well as contacted the manufacturer. It seems to be a common problem with this car. Thank you |
