Q: Very flimsy interior, breaking apart when I use it
I am disappointed in how cheap the interior feels in my 2007 Kia Sorento. The door handle inside the passenger door broke off the other day and the handle just flops around now. How does that happen on a car with 80,000 miles on it? Is the whole thing going to fall apart? Is this normal? I may want to repair it and just sell it if that's the case!
