Matrix

  • 110,102 miles
Front passenger door handle shattered on opening, door was unlocked, this was the second one on this car to shatter, the rear passenger door handle broke in the same way about 1 year ago. Doors are unable to opened from the outside, besides not being able to open doors normally, this occurrence could hamper rescue measures if door/handle breaks when rescuers are trying to get victims of an accident out of the vehicle in an accident prior to the proper rescue equipment arriving on scene. Mileage current failure - 110,100 previous mileage failure - @90,000.
