| Description of the problem | Interior door handles break all 4 door handles had cracks in the plastic backing when i got the vehicle in 2012. First, the rear driver door handle broke and the mechanic wanted $850 to fix it since the plastic backsplash is part of the whole door panel. Without the plastic backsplash, the handle does not work. So, i have to open that door from the outside for my kids. Now the front passenger door handle has a hole and is almost to the point of breaking. I want to get rid of this car as i cannot afford $3300 to fix the handles. This is a safety hazard as doors must open from the inside. |
