| Description of the problem | With the first door handle that busted, i thought i might have used too much power but as they all shattered i realized that the interior door handles are made with bad material that is brittle and can not tolerate normal wear and tear. Clearly a safety hazard to be riding a vehicule, whether as the driver or passenger, and if an emergency calls for you to abandon it, as you pull the handle to open your door the handle brakes in your hand and leaves you trapped in. |
