Description of the problem	Exterior door handle has a big button to be pushed by the thumb for entry. The button/tension caused my thumb to develop a very painful condition diagnosed as "trigger thumb". After several dr's & many types of treatment, i will be facing surgery in hopes of correcting the problem. There is no guarantee for long term success. I've been suffering with this problem for the better part of a year & it has me recoiling at the jeep i was in love with when i bought it last year. I've had it parked while i've driven an older car i own, but with winter coming and the need for an suv... There's no way i can keep my jeep & hope my thumb will ever be able to tolerate it. At one point when my right thumb was totally immobile, i started using my left. When it started exhibiting the same strain that my right one started with months before... I knew beyond a doubt it was my jeep handle that had caused the problem. It's unfortunate i didn't realize sooner why my thumb was at first feeling strained off & on, then very swollen & throbbing, and finally locking in place with excruciating pain. It took an orthopedic hand specialist to finally diagnose the problem which comes from repetitive motion. My jeep door handle is the only type of motion like that my thumb does. That, the timing & the fact that my other thumb started to do the same when tested... Convinces me the door handle is the problem. This is not limited to jeep. This handle is probably on several makes & models. One other chrysler product for sure is the dodge nitro. Please file a complaint if you've suffered from this issue.
