| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 jeep commander. We love this vehicle. However 2 of our inside door handles have broken. The driver's door handle and back seat left door handle.. In seeing all of the posts regarding this same problem with other jeep commander owners it looks like this is a consistent problem. It is absolutely a safety issue for my children, myself and anyone inside the car. My son switched the child safety lock on the backseat (left side) door as well and now because the door handle is broken we are unable to switch it back. Therefore, the only way that passenger can get out of the car is if someone opens the door from the outside. Door latches/handles breaking is an enormous safety problem and viable reason for a recall. We are requesting an investigation into this matter for consideration of a recall. |
