The panel on the drivers side (with the handle) broke when using it to assist myself into truck which caused me to fall out the truck. There is no other handle to use to get into truck. I was told by dealer that this is not what the handle is to be used for. I'm sure the passenger side is ready to break too. Part number I replaced was 5gr29tl2ag.
