Consumer Description
DOOR HANDLE WON'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OF DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW TO OPEN IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE INSIDE AND OUT WHEN I WAS UNDER WARRANTY. AS WELL AS A WHISTLING NOISE FROM MY PASSENGER VENT AND RATTLING WINDOWS. SUPPOSEDLY THIS WAS ALL FIXED. EXCEPT THE PART FOR MY AIR VENT. NOW I CAN'T EVEN OPEN MY MANUAL DOOR. I HAVE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY MODEL OF CAR. I FEEL EVERYTHING IS POORLY BUILT. DOOR IS RUSTING OUT ON DRIVERS SIDE. YET, I HAVE TAKE GREAT CARE MAKING SURE IT STAYS CLEAN. BUT THE FACT THAT I CAN'T GET OUT OF MY DOOR. AND IT'S WINTER TIME. IS SCARY. I DID NOT GO WITH ELECTRIC DUE TO THAT FACT OF GETTING SOMETHING EXPENSIVE FIXED. IN THE PAST. IT WAS TEMPORARY. BUT NOW IT WON'T WORK AT ALL. AGAIN. BEFORE IT WOULD HAPPEN AT TIMES. ON EITHER DOOR. GETTING IN OR OUT. BUT NOW THE DRIVER SIDE WON'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE AT ALL. AND WHAT IF THE WINDOW IS FROZEN AND THE PASSAGES SIDE WON'T OPEN EITHER. WORRIED. *TR
