    My driver’s side rear door handle literally came off in my hand when opening the door. I was able to slip it back in place and use the door, but I have to open it very gently or it will pop out again. Obviously a warranty issue.
    Anyone else had this problem?

    It sounds like the clip that holds the handle in place has come undone. It should be a pretty easy fix if you're not into waiting for hours at the dealer. Just remove the door card, reach into the door, and re-latch the white clip that pivots into place to lock the door handle to the door. Without that clip locked the handle will work, but it will be able to come on/off easily.

    If you watch some install videos on how to replace your chrome handles with color matched ones you'll see what I'm talking about
