| Description of the problem | i own a 2006 jeep commander with 78k miles and the driver front and passanger rear doors have shattered behind the handle causing the handle to become usless from the inside. I feel this is a safty issue as no one can exit the vehicle from those door in the event of an emergency. After doing a little research i have found that this problem is not a one time occurance and is happening more and more often. The cost to replace the whole door panel is well over $600. 00 each and that from my understanding is the only fix to this little cheap piece of plastic breaking. Lets hope this is fixed before some one is hurt or killed. |
