driver door handle lock cover loose
The cover on the passenger door lock has popped up. Just looks bad. Use the key fob to open the doors, so not inconvenient---yet.

Unbelievable that the same door handle broke off two times in 5 years. First time fixed at dealer, this time going anyplace else.

Driver's door handle pulled loose. Researched online and found the problem is lack of secure connection between handle and lock mechanism. Removed door panel and lock. Drilled hole through lock in line with handle, inserted cotter pin (nail shown in this pic). For full instructions, including photos, see this website:
