| Description of the problem | My 2006 jeep commander along with many other owners are experiencing cracking of the interior door panel which houses the interior door handles. This results in the interior door handle breaking off, making it impossible to leave the vehicle from the inside. This is a safety concern and jeep is totally not doing the right thing. Their solution is to replace the entire door panel at a cost of around $750 per door. The plastic used around the door handle is very thin and obviously a poor design. This should be recalled before someone gets killed. |
