Description of the problem | Rear door handle became stiff and hard to open within months of purchase. The dealership was not able to fix it properly. Over the following two years the problem became progressively worse and now the handle is cracking. We cannot use the back door anymore. I have since discovered that this was a common problem with this model van extending back to 1993. (tsb#020864013) |
