Never heard of this one to be honest. If it's still under warranty take it back and see what they do.

You have to remove the door panel and see if some bolts are loose or if the handle arm is broken inside.

Is it the side that rubbed against that deer this winter? If so, my guess is that the shop didn't get everything so tight.

Your door handle will not fall off. In order to fix it you'll need to remove the interior door panel, peel back the plastic cover and pop open a plastic clip that attaches to the metal rod going to the door handle. Pull on the metal rod and hold it while closing the clip in order to take up the slack.

i figured that was the problem... the shops work isnt really holding up to well.. while clay baring the car the other day i found so much crap wrong with the paint. it looks like they didnt fully clean the door off before they painted. theres what looks like dirt under the paint. some spots you can see that the bondo wasnt fully sanded.. im getting sick of it. im about to spend the money and have it all redone.

I feel for you brended...
You are not to blame one bit either.
Different Country, stock in the winter etc...

Here's what you do... Get you insurance adjuster and show him the mess and see if they'll go half way in fixing it again in your area by a reputable shop.
You have grounds in that ,you didn't have a choice to where you wanted the car to be fixed at, since the crash happened miles away from home.
