Also the third door handle has been replaced by us already and is broken again, also the third door bracket at the top my husband had to weld because we could not find one this bracket broke and the door flew open while he was driving. The spring in the hinge door broke off and now the drivers side door is not opening properly. We have had problems with this ever since we bought it.”
