| Description of the problem | Please save the children! The front passenger side and both rear passenger interior door handle latches don't function and no one can get out of the vehicle. Only the driver can exit the vehicle. My husband carpools our child and neighborhood children to school. We took our car into get it repaired at tallahassee dodge chrysler jeep today and they quoted us $650 per door or $1,950. The blue book value of the car is less than that. Why is there not an nhtsb recall on these? I've seen thousands of complains online. Please help! This is madness! It is an obvious defect. If you review the complaints, you will see that most of those affected have lost functionality in all four doors and the driver can't even get out of the car. We are, unfortunately, waiting for that to happen, as well. Thank you, kindly, for your consideration. The vehicle was stationary, as we were trying to exit the car. |
