| Description of the problem | After buying a pre-owned 2006 jeep grand cherokee limited (59k miles) a few days ago, i noticed that one of the backseat interior door handles is broken. There is no apparent break from what you can see, but some plastic must have cracked inside of the door itself. I've read that this is a common problem in 05-07 jeep grand cherokees and there is no recall. It seems that, although it is only the one interior door handle now, eventually all four will break. This is a safety issue because it prevents passengers from exiting the vehicle without help from outside of the car. The fix is quoted at $400/door, making it somewhat unreasonable, especially for a crucial and simple function of the car. |
