TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JAGUAR XJ8. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS DEFECTIVE. SHE HAD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO RELEASE THE DOOR LOCK AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. SHE FEELS THAT THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE SHE COULD BE TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,400.
