PASSENGER'S DOOR HANDLE WILL NOT OPEN THE DOORS AT ALL. AT THIS TIME THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FRONT DOORS, BUT NOT ON PASSENGER'S DOOR. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.
NHTSA complaint #873924 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES, BOTH FRONT AND REAR, KEEP BREAKING, THEREBY MAKING THE DOORS INOPERATIVE FROM THE OUTSIDE. BOTH REAR HANDLES HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND BOTH FRONT HANDLES WERE REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL, THE LEFT FRONT HAS SINCE BROKEN. THE MATERIAL USED IN THESE HANDLES IS OF SUCH POOR QUALITY THAT THE METAL ACTUALLY BREAKS. I AM ALWAYS DRIVING AROUND WITH AT LEAST ONE (ONCE WITH TWO) INOPERATIVE DOOR DUE TO A BROKEN HANDLE.
NHTSA complaint #708108 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
WHEN THE DOOR HANDLE FAILED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, THE DRIVERS WINDOW WHEN ROLLED DOWN WOULD POP OPEN THE DOOR, THEN THE WINDOW ITSELF WOULD NO LONGER ROLL UP. THEY AGREED TO FIX THE DOOR HANDLE BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER RECALL. YET THE WINDOW, WHICH WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO AND CAUSED BY THIS INCIDENT IS GOING TO COST US 225DOLLARS TO GET REPAIRED. IT WENT DOWN AND WOULDN'T COME BACK UP AFTER THE DOOR HANDLE FAILED AND WOULDN'T OPEN FROM OUTSIDE . NOW THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE REGULATOR IS STRIPPED ON THE WINDOW, WHICH IS BECAUSE THE DOOR HANDLE FAILED AND IN TURN THE WINDOW ONCE ROLLED DOWN WOULD NEVER COME BACK UP. THE DEALERSHIP ADMITS THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED FULLY TO THE RECALL, BUT WILL ONLY FIX THE DOOR HANDLE ITSELF AND IS CHARGING US FOR THE OTHER PART, WHICH IS TOTALLY DUE TO THE DEFECT AND WAS NOT IN OUR CONTROL. (93V-174) DENIED ADDITIONAL REPAIR OF WINDOW. *MJS
