Consumer Description

ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF THE CAR AFTER REGULAR USE. MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT SOMEONE OPENING IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE PLASTIC THAT MAKES UP THE DOOR HANDLE BREAKS APART BECAUSE IT WAS POORLY MADE. THIS WOULD BE EXTREMELY DEADLY IF IT HAPPENED TO SOMEONE DURING A FIRE IN THE CAR.
