| Description of the problem | The plastic part of the inside door panel which holds the door handle broke so i am unable to open the door from the front driver's side. I can't get out of the car without climbing over to the passenger side of the car. I believe this is a safety issue. This appears to be a common problem with this particular model/year. The passenger side is cracked as well so i expect this will break over time. |
