Example complaints

“Two fold complaint about the same part. Third door handle on ext cab Chevrolet s-10 broke off in my hand. Since I purchased the truck the third door handle would depress but wouldn't open the door. It partially unlatches, but won't open until I bump the door to secure the latch, then repeat the process a second time. The repair was covered under warranty, but the handle will still only open the door about 50% of the time & feels as though it could break off in my hand every time I use it. I was informed this is a common problem with this make of vehicle.”
