| Description of the problem | Broken interior door handles- they are chipping off around the handle causing the handles to fall inside the door and are unable to open the doors. On the drivers door, the plastic supporting the interior door handle has broken leaving the handle unmounted. It is not covered under warranty and they are approximately 400. 00 to 500. 00 a panel and every one of the handles in my vehicle are like this. This is an obvious safety hazard. I contacted jeep at 1-800-521-9922 and filed a case and they have declined to help me in any way stating it is wear and tear. I have owned may vehicles and never have i ever had a problem with any other of the handles on my vehicles. I have a 1988 ford truck that the door handles work fine and are not broken. This is an obvious defect on these vehicles and a recall should be done... Especially since it is not just one door handle it is all of them. Thanks for your help. *js |
