NHTSA Complaint #10633789 — 2006 JEEP COMMANDER

MY DAUGHTERS WERE IN THE 3RD ROW SEATING WHEN THEY WENT TO BUCKLE THEIR SEATBELTS AND THEY WOULD NOT CLICK IN. THEY WERE BOTH BROKEN AND WOULD NOT STAY ATTACHED. THE PLASTIC CASING IS FALLING OFF OF THEM AND THEY ARE NOT SAFE. THE 3RD ROW RIGHT SEAT WOULD NOT FOLD DOWN. THE LATCH THAT SHOULD BE PULLED WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND NOW THE SEAT WILL NOT FOLD DOWN. LASTLY, THE DRIVERS SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CRUMBLED INWARD AND IS NOT ABLE TO BE USED TO OPEN THE DOOR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS MY PROBLEM AS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED CARE WARRANTY I PURCHASED FOR $2500 AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $700 FOR THE DOOR HANDLE AND $300 FOR SEAT BELTS AND $100 FOR THE SEAT TO FOLD. I EXPLAINED THAT THE ABOVE WAS ALL SAFETY ISSUES AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY MANUFACTURERS AND THEY SAID THAT IT WASN'T COVERED. I EVEN TOLD THEM THAT I SAW THE RECALLS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T FOR MY JEEP. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND CONSIDERED A RECALL. *TR
