Last week I parked my car, reached for the door handle to get out, and the door wouldnt open! I had to roll down the window, and reach out and open the outside handle. (yeah, pretty embarassing)
I knew that the LS doors were cable operated (one single cable locks, unlocks, and opens the door) so i ripped off the door panel hoping to just tighten the slack on the cable. Turned out the door handle had actually broken at the point where the handle trips the unlock toggle.
Drilled out the rivets and tied a piece of wirse to the cable as a "temporary door handle" and got right on the phone with the dealer to order a new one.
The wierd part was, the handle had just worked earlier that day, and i for sure didnt pull too hard on the handle. So i was just wondering if any of you have had the same problem, or if it was just something that happened to me?
