| Description of the problem | 3 of my interior door handles are completely broken off. I was told by the dealership that my extended warranty did not cover the interior door handles. The total cost to repair the 3 handles is $2,100. 00. I cannot afford to fix these handles. I researched online to see if others had the same issue. As a matter of fact, on this site alone, there are numerous accounts of people all over the country that are having the same issues with their jeep grand cherokee's. Why isn't there a recall to fix this issue? Do you know what the end result could be if someone is trapped in their vehicle after a serious accident, because the door handles are inoperable? I can see if maybe a few people we're complaining, but it's not. This is faulty equipment by the manufacture and chrysler should own up to their mistake. If safety is of your concern, you should put this at the top of your list. Thank you for your time. |
