| Description of the problem | When i went to get out of my jeep this morning i opened the door as i normally do. I then heard a crack and noticed the driver's side door handle pulled completely out of the door. The brittle cheap plastic piece that holds the handle in the door just designated. The unfortunate part is that i cannot open my door now therefore if i am in an accident and the car is on fire i will not be able to exit the care which is very scary for me. I hope chrysler recalls this issue. You would think a $50000 car would last. |
