Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: The door handles that you pull to exit the vehicle has snapped off on the drivers door. i cannot exit the car without putting the power window down and reaching out to open the door. if i have no power i cannot put the window down making it impossible for me to get out of the car without climbing over to the passenger side. i belive this is a manufacturers defect because i have 2 door handles that have cracked in the same place, one has not completely broken off yet, but the drivers door handle has renedering it impossible for the driver to open the door from the inside. they are made out of cheap plastic and i would not be surprised to find the other 2 handles have also cracked in the same place.
