The interior door handles break easily they are made of plastic the repair for this is over 400.00 as the whole interior door must be replaced. This causes an issue as the only way to open the door from the inside it to roll the window down. If there is no power you cannot open the window hence you are trapped. I have mailed letters to the company requesting a recall. With no success. This is dangerous and happens on most hhrs I have see. I ask every owner I see and its a common flaw.

Originally the passenger interior door handle broke leaving us unable to exit the vehicle without opening the door using the outside handles. Now the driver interior door handles broke and we cannot exit the vehicle without lowering the window and opening the doors from the outside. This has to be a safety issue because we could potentially be trapped inside the car in an accident.
