Description of the problem	3 out of 4 door handles on my 2004 nissan altima have broken off in the past 2 years. I've seen many other altima's with a similar situation. Each of my handles snapped right off with the normal force of opening the door. There is something very defective with how the handles are made and/or attached to the cars. I'd understand if only 1 handle broke off and i was the only person it happened to but when 3 out of 4 break and i've seen over 20 other cars in my area with broken handles then there is reason to believe this is a major defect and should warrant a recall by nissan. I've called nissan dealerships, consumer affairs and the main corporate office but they refuse to help me. The consumer affairs person hung up of me while i was still speaking. They are unwilling to assist in any manner or even listen to my complaint.
