| December 2010, while just opening my door normally to enter the vehicle ... my exterior drivers door handle broke off of its mount. took to a gm authorized service center and it was repaired for approx $160.00. it is now january 21st, 2011, just a few weeks later, and the same thing has now happened to the drivers side rear passenger door. the exterior door handle broke off. i am not the only person having this problem with my vehicle as i have found numerous others across the country complaining of the same thing. if i had a child in the vehicle where there was an emergency and i could not get to that child because the door handles break then this could be a potentially huge issue. i have never had a door handle break off in any other vehicle i have ever owned or tried opening....and now 2 in about 6 weeks. gm states it is not covered and they are unwilling to cooperate. | |||
