| Description of the problem | The inside door handles on the front driver's side door and the rear passenger side door have both broken. There has to be something wrong with the manufacturing on this. I have owned 4 vehicles in my life, with all 4 of those vehicles having more than 100,000 miles on them when i traded them or stopped driving them, and have never had issues with the door handles. This car currently has almost 73,000 miles on it. The driver's side door handle broke last year and the rear door handle broke this morning. The vehicle was stationary when this happened. I am very concerned about being in a situation where the car needs to be exited immediately and we can't because the door handles will not work! |
