| Description of the problem | Both rear (left and right) door handles have broken clean off. The front two door handles have broken and chipped, but are still intact. No one in my back seat can get out without someone having to get out of the car and let them out from the outside. These have not had excessive pressure or pulling on them, they have just resulted in 3 out of 4 door handles being broken due to normal use and force for exiting the vehicle. There needs to be a recall on this part as i have seen multiple complaints about the same thing happening to others jeep cherokees. My car is a 2006 jeep grand cherokee with a hemi, limited edition. |
