The drivers door handle broke off, six
months out of warranty |

Is it metal or is it plastic? Only your Toyota dealer knows
for sure. Actually it is plastic as you can see by the macro image of the
broken piece below. |

I called Toyota service and and they are ordering me a new
handle at a cost of $83 plus $68 to install it. When I told the parts
manager what happened, he wondered if it was the entire handle which would
mean having to get in the passenger door and climb over the consol.
Luckily for us, only two thirds of the handle broke off (plastic fatigue)
and we can still open the drivers door. |

I can just see the rest of the handle breaking off
tomorrow.... |
