| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee that has 4 interior door handles broken. To get out of my car i have to roll down my window, open my door and then open the rest of the doors for my 3 kids. This is a scary situation in case i am involved in an accident and there is a fire. If my jeep turns off how am i supposed to roll down the electrical window and escape out of my car. Our safety is in great danger because of defective door handles that are not even forced and break off so easily. Another problem i have with my jeep is that when i start it and start driving, the electrical brake system light, the engine light, the abs light and some other light turn on. After the lights turn, the speedometer will no longer work, i can't see how many miles per hour i am driving. I have to turn of the jeep, restart it and that will make the speedometer work but the engine light will not go off. In a couple of occasions i have come to make a complete stop with the vehicle and all of a sudden it will turn off dead. I have to put the vehicle in park and restart it again. |
