STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF I HAVE HAD THREE HANDLES BREAK ON MY 1993 COROLLA. ONE HANDLE JUST HAS A HOLE IN THE PLASTIC, BUT TWO OTHERS ACTUALLY BROKE OFF RENDERING THE DOORS INOPERABLE. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THE RIGHT REAR HANDLE JUST FELL OFF IN MY NIECE'S HAND WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR. BECAUSE THE DOOR MUST BE TAKEN APART TO REPLACE THE PLASTIC HANDLE, I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE COST FOR THE REPAIR IS APPROX. $250.00. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURED ONLY A MONTH OR TWO LATER. THE INSIDE DRIVER'S HANDLE BROKE OFF AS I ATTEMPTED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THIS WAS ABOUT A $75.00 REPAIR THAT I HAD TO MAKE IMMEDIATELY. IT SCARES ME THO THINK OF BEING TRAPPED IN THE CAR WITH A BROKEN DOOR HANDLE. I HAVE YET TO FIX THE RIGHT REAR HANDLE BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE COST . SOMETHING HAS TO BE WRONG WITH THE PLASTIC THEY USED. NO ONE I KNOW HAS EVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS.
