| Description of the problem | Driver's side door handle broke in the process i dislocated my finger. Door will not lock from inside or outside. Only way out is to either open the window (which is nearly impossible in michigan winters) or pull the lock open further at the same time that i pull the door handle. I have broken countless fingernails on my left hand because of this. The door pieces are so flimsy, you can tell that they are made out of very, very cheap plastic. Recall? Not only is this a nuisance, but it is a very high security issue if needing to get out of the car in a hurry. |
