Description of the problem	Rear passenger side door handle is broken. No idea how or when it happened. On june 4, 2013, my son tried to open the door from the inside and it wouldn't open. I figured he just had a hard time and i let him out from the outside. 3 days later, i opened the door from the outside to let my son in and immediately noticed that some of the plastic molding around the interior door handle was broken off and missing and the door handle was hanging limp. I am certain that there was no missing plastic 3 days prior when the door wouldn't open from the inside, but i don't know how or when the plastic broke off. I'm guessing it's down inside the door panel. Frustrating since those rear door handles are rarely used. I almost always open the rear doors from the outside because my kids are small and still ride strapped into car seats, so they're not able to get out themselves. Having read other complaints, this must be some sort of defect. There's no reason a door handle that is rarely used should have broken off, and it's especially strange that it seems to have just broken apart when no one was touching it.
