Consumer Description

AFTER GETTING HOME ONE DAY I WENT TO OPEN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND THE PART OF THE DOOR HANDLE THAT ATTACHED TO THE WIRE THAT WORKS TO OPEN THE DOOR BROKE. THE DOOR WILL NO LONGER OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. I MUST ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW AND REACH OUTSIDE TO USE THE OUTER HANDLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COST TO REPAIR THE HANDLE IS $400, THIS SEEMS TO BE BECAUSE ENTIRE DOOR FRAME NEED TO BE REPLACED. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE, AND I PERSONALLY FIND THAT SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AND AS NECESSARY AS THE MEANS TO GET OUT OF THE CAR COULD BE SO POORLY CONSTRUCTED. *TR
