| Description of the problem | All 4 door handles have cracked and driver side passenger door no longer functions either from inside or out. Dealership advise that all four doors (in its entirety) will have to be replaced, and not just the handles. We're awaiting for a quote from the dealership but was advised that it could be a few hundred dollars for each door. Please be advised this is my 3rd submission. I believe that defects such as this should be shouldered by jeep, and not the owner. Door handles should be made in the highest quality as this is an entry/exit point of the vehicle. Please do not wait until the worse happens before something is done with this. |
