| Description of the problem | While opening the right rear passenger door of my 2006 jeep commander the inside door handle broke, this prevented the passenger from exiting the vehicle. I contacted the jeep dealer and they informed me that they did not have any issues relating to the door handle. I removed the door panel and made the necessary repairs. Two months later the left rear handle broke and then the right front passenger handle broke. I made repairs to both of those handles as well. Last month the right rear handle has broken again, i have did a temporary repair on the handle. My fears are that if i was to get in some type of accident where the passenger(s) would have to exit the vehicle in a hurry that the handles will fail and the passenger(s) will not be able to exit the vehicle in a timely manner and could result in the passenger(s) being trapped inside the vehicle. There should be some type of safety recall. |
