Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: First the report on door handles. the handles are made from pot metal and over time stress crack. you may simply try to open the door one day and the handle literally comes off in your hand. if the vehicle were in an accident, it would be impossible to open the door from the outside. v.w. rabbits and golf's were also prone to this. second report: failed transaxle seals can throw transaxle oil on catalytic converter and other hot surfaces, creating a serious fire hazzard. *ak
