Consumer Description

ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKING AND BREAKING AT THE BASE OF THE HANDLE. I CAN BARELY GET OUT OF MY JEEP OPENING FROM THE INSIDE, AND I HAVE TO GET OUT TO LET MY SON OUT AT SCHOOL. MY CHILDREN MUST WAIT FOR ME TO OPEN THEIR DOORS, AND IF I WERE TO GET INTO A COLLISION AND MY CAR ON FIRE, I WOULD IN NO WAY HAVE TIME TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN, GET OUT, THEN LET MY KIDS OUT BEFORE AN EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE AND OTHER FLUIDS ENGULFED MY VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, OR THE DRIVER HANDLE WOULD BE THE WORST, FOR IT IS MOST USED. THE DRIVER HANDLE WAS THE LAST TO BREAK, AND I'M NOT HAPPY FOR THE MONEY I'M SOON TO SPEND, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEARCH ONLINE AND FIND SO MANY OTHERS HAVING THE VERY SAME COMPLAINT. *TR
