Description of the problem	I have a 2000 suzuki esteem. Both door handles are broken. The first broke about a month ago. Now a month later, the other has broken. I cannot lock my care and may only enter from the back seat of the vehicle. I went to the dealership, here in baton rouge. I asked if there was anything that could be done because i felt that this must be a manufacturer's defect. I was told that, although they have had to replace door handles in lots of suzuki esteems, they would have to charge $58. 00 per door handle and $70. 00 per door for labor. I am extremely upset about this because i know many others whose cars are lots older than mine. Their door handles have not broken. This problem has arisen from a reasonably anticipated use of the product and i feel that the manufacturer should take care of the problem. Especially since this problem has had to be repeatedly addressed in this make and model of car (as i was informed by the suzuki serviceman. *ak
