| Description of the problem | I own a 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited 4 door 4x4. The front door latches become loose and "rattle" when ever i hit a bump, even at slow speeds. The dealer has replaced them 4 times. Although the problem goes away when the latch is replace, it keeps coming back. I worry that these faulty door latches will lead to failure of the door to stay closed. |
