I was responding to the poster who said to do a search for it and I’ll find a night’s worth of reading. We’ve owned the car since 2015. Bought it certified with 25k miles. It now has 60k miles. Have only brought it to reputable repair shops. The handle has never been hot to the touch but does look like it could have gotten hot at some point b/c the inside of the handle has a bubble now.. So, maybe it got hot, heated up the fluid, and the seals burst. I won’t have time to take it apart anytime soon but the car has had some electrical gremlins since my wife left the sunroof open this past summer and it rained in. I’ll try to get to it at some point when the weather warms and report back.
