Nor does my 2004. Have they fixed it on the later models or is it inevitable? Which part of the door handle is chipping, the titanium part? Pics?

both my door panels were replaced under warranty...I hope yours were too. they say a lot of it is from having lotion on your hand-like people you apply lotion then touch the handle. *shrug*
