#701333December 14, 1998
STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
DRIVERS INTEROIR DOOR HANDLE BROKE NOT ALLOWING THE DOOR TO OPEN, HAD TO ROLL DOWN WINDOW AND OPEN DOOR FROM EXT HANDLE. CHECKED PASS DOOR HANDLE AND FOUND CRACKED 90% OF THE WAY THROUGH IN SAME LOCATION. I SHOWED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY WERE SUPRISED BUT WOULD NOT DISCOUNT PARTS. I PURCHASED NEW PARTS AND INSTALLED THEM MYSELF AT A COST OF $22.50 EA. I ALSO CONTACTED GM AND THEY WERE OF NO HELP. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF THERE WAS A ACCIDENT AND A LOSS OF POWER I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VIHICLE.
