The inside door handle on the driver side broke for the 2nd time. The first time was about 25,000 miles 3 years ago and of course they had the record of the first fix. But even though it is obviously a problem they would not cover the $300+ repair. The cable end (ball) that latches into the door handle broke off and of course you can't just replace the cable.
