THE PLASTIC INSIDE DOOR HANDLES CONTINUE TO BREAK. IT IS NOT WEAR AND TEAR AS IT HAS HAPPENED ON DOORS THAT NEVER GET USED. THE HANDLE MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE PASSENGERS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THROUGH THEIR DOOR. THE DRIVER HANDLE HAS ALSO BROKE MAKING IT UNSAFE. IF THERE WERE EVER A NEED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FOR AN EMERGENCY AND THE WINDOW COULD NOT BE ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WOULD BE UNABLE TO EXIT. THE WINDOWS HAVE TO BE ROLLED DOWN AND THE PERSON HAS TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE ONLY. THE PART GETS REPLACED AND FIXED AND BREAKS AGAIN. THE HANDLES ARE MADE OF PLASTIC THAT WEAR OUT WITH HEAT VERY EASILY. I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPLACE THESE HANDLES WITH A MORE STURDY MATERIAL. IT IS A VERY UNSAFE PIECE THAT CONTINUES TO BREAK.
