The interior door handle on the driver's side front door has stopped working. The driver's door cannot be opened with the door can only be opened from the outside. I can only exit the vehicle by either climbing over the console to the passenger side or putting the window down and using the exterior door handle. Such a basic safety feature as a door handle should last the life of the car. In the event of an accident, it would be difficult, or impossible, to exit the vehicle quickly.
