| Description of the problem | Door handles opening and closing during normal use on all four doors at approximately 50000 miles caused interior door panel to crack. This causes door handle to not function properly which is a safety issue if someone needs to exit vehicle quickly such as during an accident. I spoke with chrysler who insists it is a cosmetic issue, which it certainly is not. Entire interior door panel needs to be replace on each door at cost of $600 each to fix this and this has not been done as of yet. |
