I have replaced the outside driver's side door handle five times and the passenger side twice The type of material used was poorly selected.

It cracks over the top of the lock cylinder at the upper corner every time thus relying on one fastener to hold it in place. In a short period of time the housings only bolt holding it in place loosens and eventually won't allow me to open the door.
