Nitro 6-cyl

  • 57,500 miles
Drivers side front door handle snapped while trying to exit the vehicle. I had just purchased the vehicle (used) and asked about it being replaced and was told that it was not covered. I was told it would cost about $300 to replace (the handle was only about $70, the rest was labor). I did not feel that I should have had to pay for this expense and I did not have the "extra cash" at this time so I opted out for repair. A year later, the front passenger door handle snapped while trying to exit the vehicle. I refuse to pay for this unacceptable defect. This is a life threatening hazard and needs to be recalled.
