| Description of the problem | On may 13, 2018, my driver's side door handle would not open. I had been driving and went to exit the vehicle and could not get out. I panicked that i could not exit. I had to start the car to roll down the window and to open drivers door from outside. I took it in for service repair and notified the plastic handle broke away inside the door panel. Told it would be 6-12 months or longer wait time to receive replacement door panel. Mercedes benz does not just sell a handle replacement and have to purchase the whole interior door trim. |
