    Question door handle

    is it just me, or is there a problem with the design of the exterior door handles?

    the drivers door handle has broken twice, only 1 of the 2 hinges breaks and i have to replace it, and now the passenger front door handle breaks too.

    am i the only person that has or has experienced this?

    I broke mine 2 years ago when it was below zero. Well, half broke and it was sagging for a while.

    yeah that's what happened to me twice before, and now again.

    it's only half broke so it just sags there and looks insanely ghetto.

    my door handles broke also. The Hinge near the spring seems to be very weak. My passenger and driver exterior handles broke. Luckily i went to junkyard to find two blue ones. what sucks is finding color matched handles. I dunno whats up with the handle.a lot of junkyard cars had mismatch colored door handles.

    my passanger side handle broke last winter when it was like negative one million degrees. it seemed to get pretty brittle in the cold and broke on the spring side i believe. $50 for a new handle from Honda but it came color matched and looks like it never broke.
