| Description of the problem | The driver side interior door handle began to crack, followed by the other three interior door handles. I can barely open any of the doors from the inside at this point. I fear that very soon, i won't be able to open any of the doors from the inside at all rendering my vehicle useless. This is obviously a factory defect that i could not have caused by myself. The door handles on my vehicle should not be falling apart after only six years. The poor quality of the plastic used to make the door panels is clearly the problem. I cannot afford to replace all four door panels on my own, nor do i feel that i should take full responsibility for cost. I am extremely frustrated and upset by the disappointing quality of the vehicle and the current state of the economy is not making things easier for me. |
