THE DOORS ARE NOT SUBSTANTIALLY MOUNTED TO THE BODY. THE DOOR HINGES, ~3/8 INCH THICK, ARE WELDED TO THE SHEET METAL OF THE BODY. THE SHEET BRITTLE FRACTURES AT EACH OF THE WELD POINTS. LAST YEAR THE DOOR BROKE LOOSE. WHILE I WAS GETTING INTO THE JEEP. I SCRAMBLED TO GET THE RUBBER WIRE HARNESS BOOT AND WIRES DISCONNECTED, WHILE MY SON HELD ONTO THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. THE DOOR BROKE LOOSE, STRIKING DOWN ACROSS MY RIGHT ARM. THE JAGGED EDGES OF SHEET SNAPPED FROM THE BODY STRUCK MY ARM, PUNCTURING TWO HOLES IN THE TOP OF MY FOREARM. MY ARM WAS MOMENTARILY PINNED BETWEEN THE DOWN FALLING DOOR AND THE THRESHOLD OF THE BODY DOOR OPENING. I SUFFERED A CONTUSION, A BRUISED BLOOD VESSEL, TENDONS, MUSCLE AND BRUISED/FRACTURED BONE. NOW A YEAR LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS BREAKING LOOSE. WHEN I TALKED TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, THEY DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH A DEFECT OR OCCURENCE WITH JEEP DOORS FALLING OFF. THE BODY SHOP THE DEALERSHIP DIRECTED ME TO FOR REPAIRS, AT MY EXPENSE, SAYS THE DOOR FAILURE IS COMMON. THE BODY SHOP SAYS THAT THEY HAVE REPAIRED MANY OF THESE OCCURRENCES THEMSELVES.
