My damn door handles are cutting me up

Has anyone else had the joy of cutting their hands up when grabbing the interior handle to open up the car door?

The chrome plating seems to be peeling a bit and the shit is really cutting up my hands

Just frustrating - another little trip to the dealer...And I bet they will act like they are doing me the worlds biggest favor.

Over the past two weeks I have noticed:

-I need brakes/rotors again
-I need the rear locking compartment fixed
-My rear view mirror is not dimming
-My auto-reverse side view pass. mirror isn't working (and yes the mirroe adjustment switch is in the middle)
-and now my handle needs to be fixed

He's talking about the INSIDE handles, they are all chrome. I think my Legend had this problem and the button on the hand brake was chrome and peeled too.

My Legend had the same issue, the chrome peeled off the small chrome button on the parking break.

I have the same problem on my 01. It's out of warranty though. How much is it to replace it.

Yep! Another issue with my car too! Acura cars are built crappy. This is why your door handles are peeling.
So far I have 2 cuts on my fingers because of these crappy handles. I am just going to file them down or peel the chrome off, screw paying for new handles.

Hey, Should'nt ACURA have a factory recal on these handles? Anyone know about this?
