| Description of the problem | The plastic interior door panel supporting the interior door handle on all four doors has cracked and broken. One of the rear door handles does not function at all from the interior of the car due to the broken interior door panel posing a safety risk to the passenger potentially trapping them inside the car. All four interior panels are breaking in the same manner which is clearly a manufacturing defect, not user error. |
