both passenger side handles came loose. Took it to the dealer and they replaced both handles at no charge. I didnt take it in untill I had 75000 miles. Its apparently a quality issue they dont want to disclose to customers until they complain.

When I went to open the door the handle partially ripped off. You can expect that to happen as its just a piece of plastic. Bought a replacement for $80
