Are any of you in the UK having this problem as in the US?

Broken door handles
Hi Bicepeak1 . Intriguing question, what is occurring with door handles. The inside cable can stretch and slip off so outside handle no longer operates. It's usually the drivers of course, people jerk and snatch at it instead of pulling carefully!. If not that what?

This is happening in the US with mainly the rear passenger doors. Reports say they have put no unusual pressure grabbing the door handles. They should be durable enough to withstand normal use on a new car. The handle is breaking off, not coming loose. The working parts that break are plastic.
Whoa!* Inside rear door handles braking off , quite alarming, that's a new one for cars. Will take a look at mine although usually it's children in the back who don't have too much strength. Adults in strange cars can sometimes do unexpected actions in my experience and may (careful here) be both male and female. I had a son in law (no longer) once, who always managed to shut the rear door with the seat belt buckle in the shut line and wonder why it made a strange noise

Hi Bicepeak1 . Oh ok, sorry up to speed now. !ets hope UK ones do not catch the same problem. I wonder if is a batch of below standard castings? Unless it's to do with getting extra hot in the sun,no problem with that over here! Had a look at mine yesterday and they are plastic , just as described. I have never really examined those outside fitments on cars before and it makes u wonder for how many years they have been plastic.
