| Description of the problem | Approximately 3 years ago, the interior door handle attached to the door panel became brittle and cracked and over time the 2 rear doors do not have handles, just gaping holes, and the front door handles are cracked with large holes. The obvious defect of the construction material has created a situation where the rear passengers cannot exit in an emergency. The cracking of the door panel is not normal wear and tear, but a defect in construction. |
