Driver side and passenger side door handles on inside break or fall off hinge mechanism within the door. This poses a big safety issue if there was a need to get out of the car quickly. Now, we roll the windows down on both sides to get out of the vehicle. We have paid to have the driver side fixed before including buying a new inside door handle. Same issue again, the door handles just hang there on the inside of the doors.
