Consumer Description
DOOR HANDLES THAT PRESENT THEMSELVES WHEN YOU APPROACH VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY BREAK AND PREVENT THE ABILITY TO OPEN THE VEHICLE FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS ALSO RESULTS IN INABILITY TO OPEN THE DOOR COMPLETELY WHEN CHILD LOCK IS IN PLACE. ALTHOUGH BROKEN DOOR HANDLES CAN HAPPEN THESE BREAK EVERY YEAR OR TWO. IT'S A REAL SAFETY ISSUE FOR WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS STRAPPED TO CAR SEATS IN THE EVEN OF AN EMERGENCY. PLEASE INTERVENE BEFORE THEY MOVE TO TOUCH LESS DOOR HANDLES, FUNCTIONING OUTDOOR AND INDOOR HANDLES ARE REALLY IMPORTANT IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY SUCH AS FIRE AFTER AND ACCIDENT. FIRST TIME HANDLE BROKE WAS AROUND 30K MILES THEN AGAIN ANOTHER AROUND 50K
