| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo with only 60,234k miles and the door panels on 3 of the 4 doors so far have broken out just with the normal use, interior door handle crack, plastic breaks,handles go limp and handles fall off. The plastic panel components are fragile and cheap. This is a major safety concern for me especially with two children of 1 and 12 years olds because in an event of fire or and accident the boys can not get out from inside the car due the broken door handles. Cant find part to replace the door handles because the complete door panel has to be replaced and the cost for each of one are more than 500. 00 dollars and that's not including the labor cost. I have call chrysler jeep and they offer no recall or solution for this serious matter. |
