| Description of the problem | About three weeks ago my 7 year old granddaughter tried to get out of the jeep and door handle was plastic was cracked and just hanging. This past week end when we had the grandchildren again my husband mentioned the door handle was broken and could not exit the vehicle from that door. We decided to look at all the door handles are all cracked and broken. I decided to research online and this problem has been going on and neglected for years. If an emergency occurred we would be trapped in the vehicle. This is a safety hazard. I was very upset. We purchased this vehicle less than a year ago and was in excellent condition because had one owner. Why was this not recalled, the plastic is too thin to support the handle!! *js |
