I WENT TO OPEN MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR TO GET INTO MY CAR AND THE DOOR HANDLE JUST RIPPED OFF. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. I'M NOT A STRONG WOMAN AND I DID NOTHING DIFFERENT THEN ANY OTHER DAY. NOW I HAVE TO CLIMB THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND OPEN MY DOOR TILL I CAN GET IT FIXED. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I HAD MY BACK DOOR HANDLE COME LOOSE. IT DID NOT RIP OFF, BUT IT WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. I HAD TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. ONE LITTLE THING AFTER ANOTHER WITH THIS CAR. MA 10/2 UPDATED 11/08/2017*CN
