NHTSA Complaint #10553611 — 2007 DODGE NITRO

MY GIRLFRIEND WHO IS FAR FROM STRONG GOES TO GET OUT AND THE DOOR HANDLE SNAPS. OKAY SO NOT ONLY IS THIS A HAZARD BECAUSE THE DRIVER CAN'T GET OUT BUT I AM ALSO VERY UPSET. I THEN TAKE THE BACK DOOR HANDLE OFF AND REPLACE THE FRONT SO THAT WAY I FEEL BETTER ABOUT LETTING HER DRIVE THE CAR. A FEW MONTHS GO BY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS BUT TO ME, I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THIS. HOW COULD A COMPANY EXPECT YOU TO PAY ABOUT 300$ TO FIX A DOOR WHEN IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND FAULTY CRAFTSMANSHIP? I CANNOT AFFORD THAT. NOW JUST THIS LAST AUGUST MY CO WORKER WENT TO GET OUT OF THE PASSENGER DOOR AND IT SNAPPED ON HIM. SO NOW NO ONE CAN GET OUT OF THE CAR. NO ONE CAN RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE EITHER BECAUSE HE WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL DOWN. SO NOW IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF MY CAR I HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN OPEN DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND THEN ROLL MY WINDOW UP. WHAT HAPPENS IF I CANT GET MY WINDOW DOWN AND I NEED OUT? OR MY GIRLFRIEND? LIFE AND DEATH IS SERIOUS. *TR
