  SEVERAL TIMES AFTER PULLING THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND GET IN AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED, THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION, SO THAT WHEN YOU GET INSIDE AND TRY TO SHUT THE DOOR, THE DOOR DOES NOT LATCH SHUT AND THE DOOR IS NOT SECURELY CLOSED THOUGH YOU MAY THINK IT IS.
