Door handles are made of poor grade plastic. Handle broke off while trying to exit the vehicle in a hurry. With the electric door locks engaged, I would not have safely gotten out if hazardous condition had ocurred (e.g. fire, drowning in water, ditching...etc.). should these handles be made of metal to ensure durability in these potential situations" if not, why not "
