Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Initially when this problem occurred, I discovered the door handle mechanism is made of pot metal and not of a very strong nature for the frequent use it gets. Checking with the dealer I find it will cost $300 to fix. To save money I researched used part places. I discovered this is a wide spread problem and door handles are rare to come by as most are already bought up. I have searched northern as well as southern ca, and will now try in tx. I feel this is a safety issue because my 2 year old was locked in the car the other day and the handle of course being broken wouldn't open. …”
