    Front passenger and drivers door interior handles are cracking. The cracking is going to lead to a failure of the interior door handle, making it impossible to get out of the vehicle in a emergency. While cleaning the door panels i noticed the problem and checked all four door. The only door that is cracked is the front doors. I looked for recalls on this matter and did not find any.

    Front door handles and panels are coming apart. The plastic panel is very brittle and both handles are just hanging within the panel compartment with no support or attachment. Research on this situation has shown me that this is a "very common" problem and should be addressed with a vehicle recall. The safety issue is a major concern for me and my passengers should we have the need to exit in a hurry. This raises a…
