| Description of the problem | The area where the door handles cracked and the handles are hanging from them, happened during a period of weeks, the doors and handles were used in the manner that they intended to be used. I have been looking on line and it seems to be a common complaint for this make and model so i think there must be a recall and the company should pay for the repairs. The local dealership wants to charge $250 to repair each door and it has been impossible for me to find used parts. Step-up to the plate jeep! The vehicle was not cheap and is not the buyer's fault that the company appears to use cheap parts for their vehicles. |
