| Description of the problem | I bought my vehicle in dec 2014 from a used dealer. Passenger side interior door handle had small crack as well as driver side interior door handle. On 2/19/15 while exiting vehicle, driver's side interior handle cracked significantly and was very loose. Since then, passenger side door handle has cracked very bad also. This afternoon 8/10/15, while getting back into my vehicle the entire drivers side door interior handle fell completely off and into the street. This presents a seriously hazardous condition, if the driver of the vehicle can not exit the car without rolling the window down then reaching out of car to open door using exterior handle. If an accident occurs and my vehicle flips onto its passenger side. I can not exit the vehicle at all! Unless i climb into the back seat and open the drivers side rear door. This is very serious. Jeep chrsyler needs to replace all interior handles on this vehicle asap, as there are numerous complaints about the same issue. |
