| Description of the problem | The interior door handle on the drivers side front started to get hair line cracks in it. It is cracking more and more with use. At some point the handle will come apart and i will not be able to get out of my car. I asked the dealer about a repair and they want $800. 00 to replace the whole door panel. It appears this will happen with the other doors as well. There are after market repair kits, but after researching and finding that this is a chronic problem with the handles, i believe jeep should replace or repair them for free. |
