The cover around the lock and the handle on the front driver side door started to feel loose around mid-March 2015...on April 9th, the cover around the lock popped off. "No big deal," I think to myself. But a little voice in the back of my head went, "Just you wait, that handle is next!"

And sure enough, the next day, I pulled the handle off trying to get into my car. I felt like the Hulk.

Since then, I've been either climbing in the passenger side and going over the middle console (quite a feat being 6' in a small car, see also: embarrassing when people are walking by) or having whoever I'm with get in the passenger side first and opening my door.

Ordered a replacement handle 5/3, I'm not sure if I'm going to DIY this project or call my mechanic and see what he says. Certainly not an earth-shattering problem and the car is completely fine otherwise, but it's annoying and stupid.

I HAD THE KEY PORT COVER FALL OFF A YEAR (10-5-13) AGO AND THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT AND SAID IT WAS ON BACK ORDER. (FOR A YEAR!!!) WELL 10-9-14 THE WHOLE DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF. I'M FED UP! THEY COULD HAVE JUST REPLACED THE DOOR HANDLE, SCREW THAT LITTLE KEY PORT PIECE. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THAT CAR. NOW I'M NOT EVEN "DUKES OF HAZARD" COOL I'M CRAWLING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE TO GET IN I HAVE 3 KIDS DO I REALLY WANT TO BE BUCKLING THEM IN AND CRAWLING THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE? BOLOGNA!!!!
