I HAVE A 2006 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO AND 3 OUT OF 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE COMPLETELY BROKEN. I EVEN HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT IS SUPPOSED TO COVER EVERYTHING BUT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT "TRIM" IS NOT COVERED. HOW ARE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES CONSIDERED TRIM? I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT $400.00 EACH. THIS IS NOT A COSMETIC ISSUE BUT A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. I AM VERY AFRAID OF GETTING INTO A CAR CRASH AND MY CHILDREN NOT BEING ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ MANY, MANY STORIES OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THESE DOOR HANDLES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BY DAIMLERCHRYSLER. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATOR IN MY RR WINDOW THREE TIMES SO FAR AND THE LR ONE JUST BROKE. JEEP IS SAYING IT ISN'T UNDER RECALL AND OFFER NO HELP TO REPLACE IT. THE FEE TO REPLACE THE CRAPPY PLASTIC PIECE IS $50 IF I MANAGE TO RIP APART MY CAR DOOR OR $185 IF JEEP DOES IT. I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE SINCE I'VE LOOKED THIS PARTICULAR ITEM AND MODEL UP SEVERAL TIMES.
