| Description of the problem | 3 of 4 interior door handles and panel to which they attach appear to be broken (cracked) and one is non functioning. After a google search of "jeep interior door handle", i have found hundreds of complaints. Repair costs exceed $2000 dollars from the dealer. Although the aesthetics of this remains annoying to owners, the real problem lies in the fact that door(s) are inoperable from the inside and could potentially "trap" people in accidents. |
