What owners filed with NHTSA about this car. Most recent first.
The drivers side door handle broke under normal use and leaving me trapped and unable to depart the vehicle from my drivers seat.
Both front drivers and front passenger interior door handles became inoperable. First the passenger side. Dealer replaced defective part. Now the driver side leaving the driver and passenger inside the car without being able to exit the vehicle. The occurrences did not happen luckily during a roadside event, otherwise the passengers would have experienced the inability to exit the vehicle.

Driver side inner door handle was replaced by the dealer due to the exact same problem. The issue is well known and this needs to be recalled,11,500 miles on vehicle.
Door Handle on inside broke, preventing normal egress. Yes is has been verified by dealership and they wait for parts for repair. No lamps or warnings. Door just quit functioning. As I am disabled this may be more alarming for me than others.
Interior drivers door handle no longer opens door. Making it impossible to open from the inside. Dealer claims replacement parts are on a 4-6 week backorder and hinted toward it being a common issue.
Yes. In the US, safety recalls are repaired free of charge by the manufacturer at an authorized dealer, no matter how old the car is. Call your dealer's service department, give them your VIN, and book the repair.
Recalls cover specific production ranges, so two cars of the same model and year can differ. The surest check is your VIN: call the dealer or use the NHTSA VIN lookup at nhtsa.gov/recalls. The campaign numbers on this page are what the dealer uses to look it up.
Don't wait — book the free repair with an authorized dealer. If a recall says to park outside or not drive the car, follow that instruction: it usually means a fire or stall risk. Recall repairs are free and the dealer has the parts or will order them.
