| Description of the problem | The inside door handles in the front seat, both have become hard and brittle and have crumbled. If the driver's handle deteriorates any more the door handle will no longer work and you could be trapped in the car in the event of an accident. I've researched this on the internet and found that this is a common problem. The passenger side has a huge chunk of plastic that has broken off and this inside door handle is rarely used. |
