| Description of the problem | All 4 of my interior door mechanisms are broken. I'm able to still open my front passenger and driver doors, but the rear driver and passenger doors have to be opened from the outside of the vehicle. I have filed 2 claims with my insurance company to attempt to get them replaced (safety hazard), but was declined. I've also contacted the chrysler corporation and was told that since my vehicle was out of warranty that they couldn't do anything about it. I would think that since there have been so many complaints on the door mechanisms being so fragile, that they would recall them and replace them. The rear doors where the first ones to break, then the front passenger and as of 4/02/13 the front driver side broke. I've always had a jeep of some kind and this has never happened to me and if the corporation doesn't step up and correct this matter, i will have no choice but to never purchase a jeep product again. |
