| Description of the problem | Broken car door handle/panel on both the front driver and passenger doors. Driver side is getting so bad, i am concerned and nervous that any day now, i won't be able to open door from inside the vehicle. Brought it to a local jeep dealership approximately 6 months ago when i first noticed this and was informed this issue is not covered under "extended warranty" and cost would be over $1000 to replace entire door panel and that's just for one door. Except for this issue which is beyond my control, i keep my vehicle in excellent condition and it has very low miles, but the unsightly door handle/panels just makes the appearance of my jeep look like trash besides the fact that this is now becoming a safety issue. |
