Consumer Description

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF WHILE OPENING DOOR TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. WENT ON-LINE TO RESEARCH REPAIR. FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL 4 DOORS OF THIS VEHICLE. SUBSEQUENT FAILURES ON OTHER HANDLES TEND TO HAPPEN WITHIN MONTHS OF ONE-ANOTHER. DOORS THAT ARE INFREQUENTLY USED ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM. THIS POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN REMOVING AN INFANT, SICK, OR INJURED PERSON FROM THE VEHICLE DURING AN EMERGENCY. THE HANDLES ARE MADE OF PLASTIC. THE INNER FRONT OF THE HANDLE HAS A PLASTIC PIVOT WHICH SNAPS OFF, CAUSING THE HANDLE TO FALL OFF IN THE HAND OF THE PERSON OPENING THE DOOR.
