Consumer Description

I HAVE RANDOMLY CHOSEN AN INCIDENT DATE AS I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE THE DOOR HANDLES CAVED IN. WHEN THE FIRST HANDLE CAVED IN I THOUGHT MY DAUGHTER PUSHED TO HARD TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THAT IT COULD BE REPAIRED BY SIMPLY REPLACING THE HANDLE. AS THE MONTHS AND YEARS HAVE GONE ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES HAVE CAVED IN. AND I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE PANEL MUST BE REPLACED FOR EACH TO REPAIR. I AM APPALLED AND SHOCKED THAT JEEP HAS NOT RECALLED THESE DOORS. THIS IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS SO EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AS WELL. I AM ALWAYS CONCERNED FOR ANY PASSENGER AS THOSE IN THE REAR ARE TOTALLY UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS JUST ABOUT IN THAT STATE. I WILL SAY ANY DAY NOW. BUT I AM MORESO AFRAID NOW THAT I HAVE A GRANDSON WHOSE SEAT IS LOCATED IN THE BACK. WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THE PERSON SITTING IN THE BACK WITH HIM CAN'T HIM OR THEMSELVES OUT. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHAT OR HOW JEEP CAN BE FORCED TO PROTECT US! IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THROUGH INTERNET RESEARCH THAT JEEP RESTRUCTURED THE DOOR DESIGN 2008 AND BEYOND TO ALLEVIATE THIS SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE ADVISE AS I AM SO FEARFUL OF SOME CATASTROPHIC EVENT TAKING PLACE. *TR
