Consumer Description

THE RIGHT REAR DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKEN OFF MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE PLASTIC THAT THE HANDLE MOUNTS TO HAS COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED AND THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR IS STARTING TO DO THE SAME THING. THE VEHICLE IS OTHERWISE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND HAS BEEN IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I FOUND THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THESE DOORS.
