| Description of the problem | The inside front passenger door handle broke from under the door panel and became inoperable. This required the inside door handle to be replaced on or about 10/2009. Car was purchased new in oct. 2006, had less than 30,000 miles and was rarely occupied by anyone other than the driver i. E. The front passenger door was rarely used. Since then, both inside rear door handles are becoming difficult to operate and will most likely require replacement in the very near future. On or about 9/15/2014, the front inside passenger door handle which was previously replaced again became inoperable and had to be replaced on 10/2/2014. The front driver inside door handle broke and became inoperable on or about 9/30/2014 and was replaced also on 10/2/2014. The handles appear to be of very poor quality and do not hold up at all. If the rear doors were used more frequently, it would be necessary to replace them also at this time. Current car mileage is 92000 miles. |
