| Description of the problem | The interior door handles are breaking. My driver's side door handle has completely broken off which makes an escape in case of an emergency. This affects all interior handles. And is affecting several thousand owners of jeeps gc and the cost of the repair is prohibitive. This is a safety issue that should be addressed by the company who chose to use frail plastic that breaks easily. |
