| Description of the problem | The inside plastic that mounts the door handles continues to crack and break away leaving the handles unmounted. This must be a safety hazard because any point in time the handles could stop functioning leaving the driver and passengers trapped inside. Once this plastic broke away it was almost impossible to open the door from the inside. |
