| Description of the problem | My complaint is concerning the interior door panels and handles for my vehicle. All four doors have cracks in the casing that lead to the handle. One of the levers has actually broken off(the passenger seat side behind the driver/left side of vehicle). I brought this to the attention of the service department of landmark dodge chrysler jeep where i purchased the car, and they informed me that the entire panel would have to be replaced in order to remedy the problem. They quoted to me a cost of approximately $600 for each door, meaning it would cost me about $2,400 to fix this problem. This can not be a fluke that all 4 doors have the same defect. This is a safety hazard and i am concerned that i, or any passengers i may have, will not be able to exit my vehicle because of it. This is clearly a manufacturers defect. I'm sure that there are other jeep owners out there who have this same issue. Please help. |
