General comment: this has to be the most ridiculous engineering I've ever seen in an automobile given it's simple function. The lever handle assembly in the cabin alone has 4 parts not counting the piece it rotates around? The plastic lever handle is ridiculously fragile. I donno what else to say.. I've never felt like burning a car to the ground before.
Whoever designed this deserves a HUGE German wedgie.

Agreed. FWIW, both my cables stretched, but I was able to get it working again only replacing the under-hood cable. I left the cable going to the cabin as-is. No issues yet.
