| Description of the problem | Rear door handle and cable brakes with little pressure. Many owners have same issue on same make model. Continued expensive repair results in owners jerry rigging their vehicles to open rear door. If this is happening to numerous owners than we feel strongly that it is a company default and should be fixed! My latest repair on it was $600 and its disgusting to have to fix it all the time. It doesn't take much to have the cable brake. It's plastic, cheap plastic doesn't help matters much either. |
