S-10 Pickup 6-cyl

I have had to replace the third door handle twice now on my 1999 Chevy S-10. I have also had to replace the driver's seat reclinder handle twice. I feel that this is a matter that needs to be researched more. Due to these recurrant problems are a defalt. The handles seem to be "snapping" of with no warning, and I feel that they are unsafe.

S-10 Pickup 4-cyl

Two fold complaint about the same part. Third door handle on ext cab Chevrolet S-10 broke off in my hand. Since I purchased the truck the third door handle would depress but wouldn't open the door. It partially unlatches, but won't open until I bump the door to secure the latch, then repeat the process a second time. The repair was covered under warranty, but the handle will still only open the door about 50% of the time & feels as though it could break off in my hand every time I use it. I was informed this is a common problem with this make of vehicle.
