| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 jeep commander, and have 3 doors in which the interior door handle bezel has broken. By researching price of repair, i have found that this is actually a very common issue. I was told by my dealership that it was my own fault for being too rough on my door handles, however i have never had this problem with any other vehicle i've owned. I have 3 daughters ranging in age from 18 months to 14 years, and i doubt they should be strong enough to break door handles. I'm reporting this as i feel this is a defect from the manufacturer, in light of the multitude of examples i'm finding on the internet, and in talking to other commander owners. This is also a safety issue, since in the event of an emergency, my daughters may not be able to open the doors. Examples of this issue: http://www. Jeepcommander. Com/forums/showthread. Php?
