NHTSA Complaint #10778695 — 2006 JEEP COMMANDER

MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLES BREAK - 3 OF THE 4 HAVE BROKEN AFTER NOTHING BUT NORMAL EVERYDAY USE. IF YOU'RE IN A WRECK YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IF THE HANDLES ARE BROKEN. CHECKING THE WEB FOR CONSUMER'S THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP COMMANDER DOOR HANDLES BREAKING AND FINDING OUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT A COUPLE THOUSAND THAT HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME BREAKAGE OF THE DOOR HANDLE OPERATING MECHANISM. IF YOU TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALER FOR REPAIR, THEY WANT $600.00 - $800.00 PER DOOR TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY IN EXITING THE VEHICLE. DESCRIBING WHAT HAPPENS WITH YOUR VEHICLE: IT IS JUST EVERYDAY ORDINARY OPERATIONAL USE AS TO WHEN THE DRIVER OR PASSENGERS ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND "NORMALLY "PULL" THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND EXIT THE VEHICLE THAT THE HANDLE AND HANDLE HOUSING BREAKS INTO PIECES. THIS BREAKAGE HAPPENS TO ALL THE DOOR HANDLES (FRONT & REAR) IN THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER.
