NHTSA Complaint #11306233 — 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY

APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AGO, MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAD BROKEN OFF AS MY HUSBAND ATTEMPTED TO GET INTO THE CAR. THAN THE DOOR HANDLE BEHIND THAT CAME OFF WHEN MY CHILD WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR TO GET INTO THE CAR ABOUT A MONTH LATER. FOLLOWING BOTH THOSE INCIDENTS I WAS UNLOADING GROCERIES AND WENT TO OPEN THE REAR DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT HANDLE JUST CAME OFF. THE ONLY HANDLE REMAINING ON THE CAR IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THERE WAS NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. NO ONE PULLED ON THE HANDLES HARDER TO OPEN THE DOORS. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN! I HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN TOYOTAS FOR OVER 20 YEARS, AS WELL AS SEVERAL MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED! I DO NOT USE MY CAR FOR ANYTHING LIKE UBER OR LYFT WERE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN USED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN NORMAL AND I FEEL THIS HAS TO BE SOME TYPE OF DEFECT FOR IT TO HAPPEN TO 3 DOOR HANDLES! I AM ALSO CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY ISSUES THIS COULD CAUSE MY FAMILY, ESPECIALLY MY CHILD. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN LOYOL TOYOTA CUSTOMERS FOR MANY MANY YEARS AND I AM JUST BESIDE MYSELF THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN!
