| Description of the problem | After normal driving, i parked the car, grabbed the driver side handle to open the door and it just sort of flopped out. There was no connection to the interior pieces to open the door. To exit, i have to keep the car running, open the window, reach through and use the outside door handle to open the door (which is very difficult as i am not tall), then close the window again before i can turn off the car and exit. |
