: the contact stated that there are triangular panels in each door that continue to detach from the vehicle. The contact expressed concern that since the panels are only held on by clips, the panels may detach and could become airborne inside the vehicle. The contact expressed that it would be better if they were screwed on. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where bondo was applied to the front panel. When the vehicle was taken to the dealer, the dealer was unwilling to provide a remedy to the problem. Updated 7/25/2006 - the door panel was replaced at the owners expense.

If you touch any part of the door or frame, the black substance sticks to you.local dealer unwilling to fix it. Seems like a defect to me. Has been this way since March 2000.

Inside driver's side door will not open. Dealer has been notified.

Both passenger doors have a glue sticky substance that is leaking from the weather stripping inside the door. A dealership looked at it and told me it would cost $60 per door to fix. It seems to me that if this problem has happened often then there sound like a defective problem in the weather stripping or some other component within the door. The problem started occuring around Nov. 1997 almost two years after the car was bought new. Can you help me in this problem? thank you for your time.

Interior door handle on drivers side has broke off, making it impossible to rapidly exit the car. Passenger side has cracks and spring has worn through. This car is driven by 48 Y/O women (my wife). My concern is that in an accident, there would be no way to get out without jamming a screwdriver in it, or rolling down the window and opening from the outside. The fact that both sides are failing leads me to believe that it is a manufacturing defect. Since the one plastic piece costs $33, I will probably look for one in the junk yard, (which may also have prematurely aged). We live in Florida so perhaps the U/V rays contribute to its demise. Nonetheless it is creating an unsafe situation and I couldn't possibly be the only one with this problem. Thank you.
