On the front passenger side.. You know the small plastic "box" that's to the left of the door handle. Of course there's no keyhole except for the driver side door.

It must've been loose or something, because it was there before I got into the car, but 5 minutes later of driving, when I got out of the car, it was gone...

I certainly had that what the F look on my face... I was not even mad, but just puzzled as hell as how this could've happened. I don't recall anything ever banging into that part so to loosen it.

On the topic, now that the metal part is exposed, I noticed that there are two screw holes. However, only the top hole has a screw. Is this normal?

Yep, gonna give the dealer a call... I have this good feeling I'll get it free...

There's a TSB for this. If you go to the dealer there's a good chance they'll cover it as warranty. If you go with a copy of the TSB, it's practically guaranteed.
