THE FRONT AND REAR DOOR HANDLES CRACKED, AND DON'T WORK. IF MY CHILD OR THE DRIVER NEEDS TO GET OUT THEY CANT. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN ORLANDO FLORIDA, WANTS ME TO PAY $750 FOR EACH. THIS IS CRAZY..... HOW CAN A HANDLE COST THAT. JEEP SHOULD REPLACE THIS FAULTY ISSUE NOT ME, I PAID ENOUGH FOR THE CAR. I HAVE OWNED 3 JEEPS IN MY LIFE. THIS WILL BE THE LAST. *JS

I OWN A 2006 JEEP COMMANDER, AND HAVE 3 DOORS IN WHICH THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BEZEL HAS BROKEN. BY RESEARCHING PRICE OF REPAIR, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY A VERY COMMON ISSUE. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS MY OWN FAULT FOR BEING TOO ROUGH ON MY DOOR HANDLES, HOWEVER I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE OWNED. I HAVE 3 DAUGHTERS RANGING IN AGE FROM 18 MONTHS TO 14 YEARS, AND I DOUBT THEY SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK DOOR HANDLES. I'M REPORTING THIS AS I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER, IN LIGHT OF THE MULTITUDE OF EXAMPLES I'M FINDING ON THE INTERNET, AND IN TALKING TO OTHER COMMANDER OWNERS. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, MY DAUGHTERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS. EXAMPLES OF...

INTERIOR DOOR PANELS BREAK AT THE DOOR HANDLE LOCATION LEAVING THE DOOR HANDLE INOPERABLE AND THE PASSENGER UNABLE TO OPEN THE VEHICLE DOOR. THIS IS A PROBLEM ON ALL FOUR PASSENGER DOORS. *TR
