On the 2003 Chevy S-10 pick up truck, the door handle for the third door which leads to the rear compartment is poorly made. This handle has broken at least three times since I purchased the vehicle. Now I can not open the third door. It seems whatever part of the mechanism is used to open the door, it is made of plastic and it breaks after little use.

2003 Chevy zr 2 truck has a 3rdoor. The door handle keeps breaking and has to be replaced. This is an added expense. It is being opened under normal circumstances. It should not keep breaking. Also two of my friends have the same problems with their trucks.

Third door handle keeps breaking. Lucky not in an emergency. Replaced 4 times in 3 years.

The vehicle's door separated from the frame which caused air to seep through. Please provide additional information.
