Consumer Description

ALL 4 DOOR HANDLES OF MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ARE BROKEN. THE 2 REAR HANDLES ARE COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF SO THE DOORS DON'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. THE 2 FRONT HANDLES ARE BASICALLY HANGING BY A THREAD. IT'S DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE-IF ANYONE, ESPECIALLY KIDS, WERE IN THE BACKSEAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ESCAPE DURING AN ACCIDENT. WHILE RESEARCHING THE RECENT IGNITION RECALL, I STUMBLED ON MANY, MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME DOOR HANDLE PROBLEM - I THOUGHT OUR CAR WAS JUST A LEMON! THE COST TO FIX ONE DOOR IS $700 AND CERTAINLY NOT IN THE BUDGET SO WE'VE HAD TO LIVE WITH IT! THE POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK OF THIS SHOULD BE OF GREAT CONCERN AND JEEP SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX IT!! THANK YOU. *TR
