Consumer Description

PULLED ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE AND IT SNAPPED OFF. HAVE TO ROLL DOWN WINDOW AND OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. NOT A VERY SAFE OPTION. I HAVE READ MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM, PERHAPS A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT OUT. IT IS A PRICEY FIX AT THE DEALER. MY CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND I TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. NOT HAPPY ABOUT SPENDING UPWARDS OF $250.00 TO HAVE A PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE FIXED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2007. *TR
