Great Van But Now Question About The Build Quality, Driver's Door Handle Broke within 5 days of delivery

I have a 2012 Odyssey Elite which I just purchased 5 days ago and the driver door handle broke. I didn't pull the handle hard or anything and the the locks were unlocked when I tried to pull open the door handle. I was not able to open the driver's side door from the outside but I can open from the inside. @ less than 300 miles, I hear engine knocking in with or without it being in the ECO mode. I will have Honda inspect it when in service. I traded in a car (2006 fully paid off) that gaved me very little problems for a new (2012) car that gaved me issues already. But everything else about the Van is great....

take a close look at the 2011 -2012 odyssey. Ours has 80 miles on it, 1 week old. Rear brake pads was changed, it was literally deteriorating badly , rear rotors had scores in it. engine light came on and to get reset, poorly aligned rear tail gate, bad gaps in body panel, misaligned, poorly painted front and rear bumpers, take a close look at the two rear bumper reflectors, on either sides of it is not painted, under the bumpers are not painted. Honda bean counters are trying to save money by skimping on paint here folks, what else are they doing to save money on a 35K van, it is inexcusable in my book. Other areas of the van that paint is not applied because most consumer don't pay know

We have 117,000 miles on this car and still own it. We just bought a 2018 EX-L Honda Odyssey which will replace the 2013. Through Edmunds we researched competition and pricing. Great help.

Please be leary if you are thinking of buying a used 2012 Honda Odyssey. This vehicle had serious problems with the automatic VCM system. Honda did have a recall on this issue and even extended it for an 8 year period. Should have been a lifetime recall. Just ensure that the engine has been rebuilt, new piston rings installed if you purchase this vehicle. 2012 isn't the only year thus was a problem. I would probably buy a Toyota van.
Engine blows up!

Twice in the last year I had my engine rings/pistons redone. Thank you class action lawyers whose settlement got me free repairs. (Ends at year 8). At 92000k I have had car in shop 6 times this year with $3000 in repairs not covered. Bought it new and want to keep it through 150k. At this point not reliable enough that I would take it on long trip. I have owned 3 other Hondas. Hate this car!
