| Description of the problem | I'm the original user of a jeep grandcherokee laredo,2005, with a 64,000 miles. The hazard is that all(4)interiors doors handles brokedown due to cheap plastic materials and because they made the door handles as an integrate part of the complete door panel. This is a safety hazard because the door opens only from outside, putting all occupants life jeopardized. This is not something of heavy use or due to behavior of the occupants. As a fact this car was my company car so no many people was sitting in the back seat. The cost of this four panels(including the handles) is above the $2,000. 00. I saw other complaints in other sites about the same problem including people who bought these suv's in europe. I can send you photos if you considered necessary and the details of the car identification numbers if you may think is necessary to continuing finding the solution of this hazard. |
