There is a very bad leak on the drivers side floorboard. The carpet is soaked. When stepping on the brakes (only hard enough to hear it) you can hear the water swishing under the floorboard. It has caused the car to now smell musty and the floor is eventually going to fall in. *tr
My door handles on the driver side and the back seat passager on the driver side door handles just broke off. My car is kept in a garage and when I went to the door to open both doors the handles just broke off. Just recently I saw the same make and model as my car and both handles were broke also. I asked the driver and stated that the door handles just broke off.
The drivers side exterior door handle just snapped off in my hand. *tr
