All of the inside door handles have broken under normal circumstances. It's almost impossible to open the doors and that to me could become a safety concern for a number of reasons. Especially if involved in an accident. Thank you for your attention to this complaint. God bless.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 116,000, and after taking the vehicle to a certified mechanic, the Carfax report indicated that the actual mileage was 167,000. The contact had not reported the odometer fraud to another agency.
