Description of the problem | This is a safety concern with the interior door handles. On both the front passenger and driver doors, the plastic door handle has broken on my vehicle (pictures attached), not allowing you to exit the vehicle. To exit the vehicle you need to lower the window and open it from the outside handle. This could prove extremely hazardous if you needed to exit the vehicle quickly and the plastic handle breaks. All the pieces of this part are plastic and they handle high levels of stress pulling cables to open and unlock doors. Youtube/google is filled with videos on repairing these broken handles and people complaining about the frequency in which they break. |
