I went to open the car door barely had the handle lifted up and the passenger door handle snapped off in my hand. A few months later the driver side door handle did the same thing.

Both door handles of my mistsubishi eclips 1999 have broken off and the passenger side was the first to go and I did not use that door 1/20 as much as the driver's side. Ihave replaced one... the driver's side, but I am very warey as it may break at any time and hence I will be locked out of my car. Hopefully not far from home.
