Answer
Hi Megan:
I got this question out of the question pool sorry for the delay. You didn't mention if this is a 2 door or a 4 door model. Does really matter to much the same thing is more than likely wrong if it's a 2 door the handle is up neasr the window and the arm breaks off for the rod to release the door latch. If it's a 4 door same issue but the handle is down below the window and it harder to change. Also on some of those the handle is color coded to the car like if it's an SE or SSE model. Any color will do the handles are all the same for 4 doors it's just what color it is. Hope that helps. You also didn't say wether you could get out from the inside on the drivers side. If you can't ther is another issue with the latch then not the handle. Hope that help you out :)
