HOW MANY SPECIFIC INCIDENT REPORTS DOES THE NHTSA NEED BEFORE THEY REQUIRE CHRYSLER TO EXPLAIN THEIR FAULTY/DEFECTIVE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES? PLEASE REVIEW THE HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT POINT TO FAILURE OF THE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER'S INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES AND BEGIN THE PROCESS TO REQUIRE A SAFETY RECALL. THIS IS NOT A COSMETIC ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE PLASTIC HOUSING THAT HOLDS THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES IS BRITTLE, CAUSING THE HANDLE TO BREAK, WHICH RENDERS THE HANDLE INOPERABLE (FROM THE INSIDE). OCCUPANTS REPORT HAVING TO ROLL DOWN THEIR WINDOW TO UNLATCH THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE SHEAR NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS (BOTH IN YOUR WEBSITE AND ON VARIOUS JEEP ON-LINE FORUMS) INDICATES THAT THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT CAN NOT BE ATTRIBUTED TO ROUGH HANDLING. *TR
