Consumer Description

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF, WHILE STATIONARY. I GRABBED HANDLE TO OPEN DOOR LIKE NORMAL, AND PART OF IT CRUMBLED IM MY HAND AND THEN FELL TO THE GROUND. IT COULD NOT BE PUT BACK ON DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION. THIS IS A HUGE SAFTY RISK OF SOMEONE GETTING TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED AND THE HANDLE FELL OFF AT THE MOST IMPORTUNED TIME, IT COULD EASILY CAUSE FATALITIES. WHILE SEARCHING FOR A REPLACEMET PART I MET SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE FACT THAT TOYOTA IS CHARGING AND EXUBERANT ABOUT FOR THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY'S ($4251
