| Description of the problem | Door handles on jeep commander have a factory defect in manufacturing of the door handle carrier cup on the inside of the door panals. This is due to a poor plastic matrix resulting in embrittlement. This results in occupants being unable to exit the vehicle. I have researched this issue on various jeep forums and found it to be a universal problem. It is time for nthsa to hold chrysler rsponsible for this flaw and issue a safety recall. I use this vehicle to carry my children and it will cost over $2000 to replace the 4 door panels, the only fix. |
