NHTSA Complaint #10644530 — 2006 JEEP COMMANDER

BASICALLY THE DOOR HANDLE MECHANISMS DISINTEGRATED. THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOOR PLASTIC THAT SURROUNDS THE DOOR HANDLES BROKE INTO SEVERAL SMALL PIECES AND FELL INSIDE THE DOOR. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGER BECAUSE EVENTUALLY THE CABLE THAT OPENS THE DOORS WILL BREAK AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS. I HAVE CHECKED INTO HAVING THEM REPAIRED BUT IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PLASTIC AROUND THE HANDLES IS 1 PIECE WITH THE REST OF THE PLASTIC OF THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR. ALSO, ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT A DANGER - THE DISPLAY SCREEN FOR ALL THE OF ELECTRONICS OF THE CAR, WENT BLACK SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I AM UNABLE TO ACCESS A LOT OF THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAR. WE PAID OVER $43,000 FOR THE CAR - THESE THINGS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. THE DOOR HANDLE REALLY SCARES ME. I HAVE SIGNED PETITIONS TO HAVE THIS RECALLED AS WELL AS CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. THANK YOU *TR
