THE INSIDE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR PANEL IS LIFTING UP AWAY FROM THE WINDOW. THIS CAR IS GARAGE KEPT AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING FROM HOME SINCE MARCH 23, 2020 SO IT HAS NOT BEEN LEFT OUT IN THE SUN. THE INTERIOR VINYL IS PULLING AWAY AND SEPARATING FROM THE BODY. THIS HAPPENED WHEN STATIONARY AND IS GETTING INCREASINGLY WORSE.

THE FRONT, PASSENGER DOOR OF MY VEHICLE IS BECOMING WARPED AND HAS DETACHED FROM THE DOOR NEAR WHERE THE PANEL MEETS THE WINDOW. I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND HAVE DISCOVERED IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER/DODGE VEHICLES. MY ORIGINAL DEALER WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I FILED A RECALL COMPLAINT THROUGH THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE AND AM WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. PLEASE HELP IN ANY WAY YOU CAN. THANK YOU.

INTERIOR DOOR PANELS ARE WARPED AND LIFTED. I COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS, AND MY COMPLAINT WAS DENIED TWICE. THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT CAUSES TEMPERATURE INSIDE MY VEHICLE TO BE COMPROMISED DUE TO THE LACK OF INSULATION.
