Door hinges failure has caused damage to door lock and mounting.
Drivers door is coming off , weld has come loose door and door will not close
Driver door must be replaced completly . The weld did not hold the shell and inner workings together, allowing the door to swing out of alignment and cause damage to door latch. The driver door broke while traveling at approx 40 miles per hour. Driver held door together while driving home. The passenger door can be repaired by body shop by re welding the door together. The locks have not been permantly damaged. Both are at the cost of the owner. Manufacture will pay nothing. My concern now is the safety of the other two doors and their durability. Also if this problem has been corrected by crystler for the future, and that the american manufacturer will not stand behind the product that apparently has a defect of some sort.
