Consumer Description

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE USED TO EXIT THE CAR BROKE OFF,AS I WAS ROUTINELY USING IT. AT FIRST I WAS ANXIOUS AS I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE TO TRY TO CRAWL OVER THE TRANSMISSION TO GET TO THE PASSENGER SIDE IN ORDER TO GET OUT. I THEN REALIZED I COULD USE THE POWER WINDOWS TO LOWER THE WINDOW , AND REACH WAY AROUND TO OPEN THE DOOR WITH OUTSIDE HANDLE. I THINK THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN AN ACCIDENT OR IF THERE WERE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT NECESSITATED A QUICK EXIT. *NM
