Loose door handle
My RX-8 passenger door handle is really loose. When opening/pulling the door handle, the whole thing comes toward you, rather than just the left side. It's really embarrassing when a girl or passenger gets into my car. Honestly, I'm sick and tired of the lack of quality in my RX-8. I have a fully loaded 06 GT with 34k miles. It's barely 2 years old!

There are some bolts inside you may need to check for tightness.
Obviously, you'll need to remove the inner door garnish to get to these.
Once in there, you might see what is loose.
