MY 2005 SSR DRIVERS INSIDE DOOR HANDLE FAILED. UNABLE TO OPEN DOOR FROM INSIDE. FROM WHAT I HEAR THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES. UNABLE TO LOCATE PARTS AND A LONG WAIT IF THEY ARE FOUND. SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN I CAN'T GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE. *TR

DRIVER'S INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO EXIT BY USING DOOR UNLOCK FUNCTION ON KEYFOB, LOWERING WINDOW AND REACHING OUTSIDE TO OPEN DOOR. THIS WORKED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS WHILE I TRIED TO WORK WITH THE MANUFACTURER TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE DOOR HANDLE. NOW THE LOCKING MECHANISM WILL NOT ALLOW EVEN THIS METHOD OF EXIT. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER AS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 34,000 MILES ON IT. THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM; HOWEVER, THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS ON THE INTERNET WHICH DESCRIBE THIS PROBLEM. MANUFACTURER CLAIMS NOT UNDER WARRANTY SINCE VEHICLE IS A 2005. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. *KB
