Consumer Description

I WENT TO RUN ERRANDS STOPPED AT THE POST OFFICE DROP OFF A PACKAGE AT THE BOXES IN THE LOT. DIDN'T PULL CLOSE ENOUGH SO I OPENED THE DOOR TO REACH DROP BOX. WENT NEXT TO BUY GROCERIES AND WHEN TO OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR THE HANDLE NO LONGER WORKED.. SO I HAD TO TURN MY CAR BACK ON, ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN, OPEN THE DOOR, ROLL MY WINDOW BACK UP...YOU GET THE REST. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE CHILDREN AND LORD KNOWS SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS AND I CAN'T GET OUT OF MY CAR BECAUSE MY HANDLE BREAKS!!! IF I'M HEAVEN FORBID HIT ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND OR THERE'S A FIRE. I CAN'T GET OUT. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. DODGE HAS HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THE NITRO SINCE IT WAS MADE. HENCE THE REASON DODGE STOPPED PRODUCTION ON THE NITRO. ALL WHY IS A LARGER SIZED BODY SUB PUT ON A JEEP LIBERTY FRAME? HAD I KNOWN THIS WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED THE NITRO. *TR
