| I have had 3 door handles break since owning this vehicle. all of them cracked behind the handle, with 2 of those 3 already completely busted. at this point those 2 of the 3 handles are impossible to open if you don't know how to sit the handle just right on the inside edge. i'm concerned about safety. jeep dealership said there was no recall on the handle, and wanted $850/per door to fix! you can't just replace the handle, you have to replace the entire door panel. this is a major design flaw on jeep's part, and should be fixed. it is a safety issue as well. everyone in my family knows how to open the door in calm conditions, but in the event of an accident/panic situation i'm not sure we could think clearly enough to operate them. scary!! i'm not comfortable having people ride with me, as i have to worry about their safety and safety concerns when i show them how to use the handles. this needs fixing by jeep!! *tr | |||

| Door handles on jeep commander have a factory defect in manufacturing of the door handle carrier cup on the inside of the door panals. this is due to a poor plastic matrix resulting in embrittlement. this results in occupants being unable to exit the vehicle. i have researched this issue on various jeep forums and found it to be a universal problem. it is time for nthsa to hold chrysler rsponsible for this flaw and issue a safety recall. i use this vehicle to carry my children and it will cost over $2000 to replace the 4 door panels, the only fix. | |||

| All four interior door handles and plastic around the door handles are beginning to crack and break. the plastic indent underneath the interior door handles has become extremely brittle and will crack if you barely touch it. the driver side door handle has broken from the inside of the door panel and all the plastic surrounding the interior door handle has begun breaking and falling inside the door panel. i have thoroughly researched this issue and have found that this is a very common complaint and was surprised that there has not been a recall notice associated with this. interior door handles are extremely fragile and can easily break off which would prevent someone from escaping the vehicle in an emergency. i took my car to the dealership and was told that to repair the door handle, the entire door panel needs to be replaced (at approximately $600 including parts and labor). this does not guarantee that the issue will not happen again as they have not made any changes to the door panels to prevent it from doing so. $2400 to repair the inside door handles of my vehicle with no assurance that it won't happen again seems to be immoral and illegal. | |||
