problem #6

Grand Cherokee 6-cyl

  • 250,000 miles
The front doors on this vehicle model are defective!!!! the metal holding the door latch is defect / weak causing the latch to tear away from the sheetmetal and recess inside the door. The door opens while turning as slowly as 5 mph; the driver side door will no longer latch closed nor will the lock engage and secure the door. On 3/3/2014 while driving my daughter to school, this incident happened to us. Luckily there was no oncoming traffic and I didn't lose control of the vehicle. What did happen was I had to over-extend my left shoulder to grab the driver's door after it flung open, spraining my shoulder. To date I have randomly spoken with 12 other Jeep owners of the same model, in ulster county, NY; all having the same defect in either the driver or passenger front door of this model vehicle. This is a serious safety hazard that needs to be recognized and repaired by Jeep! I have spoken to the local Jeep dealer and he acknowledged this year is flawed by design in this area, & was specifically re-designed due to customer complaints.
