Door latch inside has broken several times. I have to roll my window down to exit car. I have had the handle replace 5 times. When weather is cold, I can't exit vehicle due to the fact the electric windows freeze. I fear an accident might trap me in my car.

The interior door latches are of poor construction and break easily and inhibit being able to get out of the vehicle. This is a safety problem that needs to be corrected. We have already had to replace the interior door latches once and need to have them replaced again now.
