| Description of the problem | Interior door handles have a tendency to snap, with no indication that they are weak or fragile. This has happened to me personally twice and to others many time, according to online forums for this vehicle. There is no available repair beyond replacement of the door handles. Obviously, in an accident this would limit one's ability to safely exit the vehicle. |
