| Description of the problem | I purchased this jeep in dec of last year. Slowly but surely the plastic component that houses the interior door handle has cracked, with pieces falling out. Now on the right side rear door the handle has fallen out because the plastic has completely failed. The other three plastic pieces are also all cracking with handles already getting loose. If there were an emegency situation, it is not possible to exit vehicle via the rear door. I am afraid that in due time the other handles will fall out. |
