Electrical Jack Problems of Chevrolet HHR

On oct 25 2015 around 7:00pm, I parked at parking lot of home depot lane Ave jacksonville FL. I pulled the inside handle to open the door at driver's side, the handle broke apart. I couldn't open the door. I couldn't get out of the car. Nobody was around. I was panic. . . Sometime later, I realized I could crawl to the passenger side and got out from passenger's door. If this was an emergency and I couldn't get out of car as soon as possible, my life could be endangered.

Driver's side door handle just brakes off. I feel this is a safety issue as you can become trapped in your car. The only way to open the door when this happened is to roll down window and put your arm out to open from the outside or have someone else open for you. For instance, if you were in an accident, car caught on fire, stalled on railroad tracks, or carjacked you are a prisoner in the car. The door handles are made of plastic and is a very expensive repair. , mine was $200. If it had not been a safety concern, I would not have repaired it. If you research the internet it is very common problem. Please research.
