Anyone knows how to fix these without spending crazy amount of money. I guess I need to find this part... Is this a common issue? See picture below

Not a common issue, at least not a common thread that I have seen.

Thankfully the handle assemblies are easy to replace, remove the inner panel by gently prying on plastic panel gromets. There are usually some screws holding plastic bits.

The handle is held in place with a couple of 10mm nuts.

If you want it fast call Rising Sun Importers in Richmond, Steven has lots of parts available.

If you have more time on your hands you could try the UK EBAY parts but you may not find what you want very easily.

Caveat emptor. I bought one of these last year when my oem handle broke. It was good until it got cold again and recently broke. Your mileage may vary.

I'm going to try and rig an electric door opener to alleviate the issue permanently.
