1st incident 10/2010 - outside right side rear door handle snaps off (child lock on inside of car engaged so you cannot open door from inside and making it difficult to get a child out of the car). 2nd incident 01/17/2014 car has 35000 miles now - outside left rear door handle snaps off (child lock on inside of car engaged so you cannot open door from inside and making it difficult to get a child out of the car). I thought the 1st time it happened it wow I have never had that happen before on any vehicle I have ever owned - I bought this car new with only 15 miles on it, it is garage kept. Now that this has happened before I question the quality - and have read online of others having same issue.
