| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The passenger (manual ) sliding door became hard to open. the handle sticks and does not open on the first try. the handle then broke off completely leaving the door unsafe and unable to latch properly. we purchased a new handle from the dealer for a price of $95.00. we feel this specific car handle is not made to withstand the use of a sliding door or the weight of the door and will fail with continued use. you must pull out the handle to open the sliding door and continue to hold it out until the door is completely open. all the weight of the door and the momentum of the slider rest of this handle. have found others with the same complaints online. also, may consider weather as a factor too. the colder the weather the worse it performs. *jb |
