| Description of the problem | The door handles where you open and close the door have completely shattered in to pieces by just opening and closing the door normally. I am unable to exit my car properly because the drivers side handle is completely shattered and will not open. I am unable to exit my car without crawling across the seat due to the handle completely crumbling and now other door i use to get out has started to crumble. One of the back doors is starting to break as well and they tell me it will cost over 2800. 00 to repair. I don't have that kind of money to fix a door handle. I'm afraid i'm in danger if i have to exit my car in a hurry or my daughter or a riding guest. It's horrible that it just cracks like nothing and they wont take any responsibility. I cannot just open my door and get out of my car. They all being broken is one thing and i believe obviously a flaw on jeeps part, but not being able to get out of my car is dangerous. |
