| Description of the problem | The interior door handles were poorly designed and have all cracked only after a short period of time with normal use. This is a safety issue due to the fact that passengers would have difficulty exiting vehicle in emergency situations. I understand this is common problem in this vehicle. I've read numerous similar complaints from other owners. Chrysler does seem to want recognize this as manufacturing/design flaw, which is unfortunate since it is rather costly to replace the door handles. To replace all four would cost $2,000 plus dollars. Please do something to protect the customers, who deserve better. |
