I went to get into my girlfriends '99 Dodge Avenger today, and snapped off the door handle!
The whole handle is plastic, and the best way I can describe it is the handle has 2 plastic hooks that go into the door. Where the handle broke is the at the point of connection between the actual handle and the 2 hooks that go inside the door. Is there anyone who has ever done anything like this? Anyone have any advice for me? I feel like it is my fault the handle broke off and would like get this problem fixed for her. -Thanks-

Apparently this is a common problem on the Avengers! ![Icon Lol](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_lol.gif)
I found a page with detailed repair instructions: http://www.allpar.com/fix/avenger-door-handle.html
"There are two kinds of Dodge Avenger owners: Those whose plastic door handles have snapped off in their hand, and those who will have their door handles snap off in their hand."
