| Description of the problem | Rear interior door handle on passenger side failed with no misuse or excessive force. Door handle is inoperative. Must open door from exterior of vehicle. No sign of any wear or obvious damage from visual inspection. Dealership quotes repair cost to be prohibitively expensive. Seems to be manufacturer defect. Obvious concern that this could be a safety hazard in case rapid egress from vehicle is required in an emergency situation. |
