“My drivers side door handle on the inside does not work. I never had any problems prior to this. I drove to my appointment, got out of my car normally. Upon returning to my car I noticed my door handle looked loose, then could no longer open my door from the inside. I have to roll down my window in order to open my door on the outside, which is extremely irritating. The cost to repair is over $1,000 which I do not believe is my responsibility to pay far. I am scared to have my kids in my, in case an accident does occur and I cannot exit the vehicle. …”
