ALL FOUR (4) OF THE DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ARE CRACKING AND I AM FEARFUL THAT THEY WILL BE BREAKING OFF SOON. THE HANDLES AND THE SUPPORTING DOOR HANDLE HOUSING ARE ALL CRACKING IN THE SAME LOCATION. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER (CASE #[XXX]) AND JEEP (CASE #[XXX]) AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RECEIVE ANY REPAIR ASSISTANCE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. SINCE THE DEFECT IS IN THE HOUSING UNIT OF THE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL, THE COST TO REPLACE THE HOUSING IS PROHIBITIVE TO MOST OWNERS SINCE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL MUST BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATES IT IS ~$800 PER DOOR TO FIX. DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE OF BEING UNABLE TO EXIT THE BACK SEAT AREA FROM THE INSIDE WITHOUT DIFFICULTY, I AM FEARFUL OF ALLOWING MY 14YR DAUGHTER, GRANDKIDS, OR ANYONE ELSE OF RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT. IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO...

JUST FOUND THIS SITE: SAME STORY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A 4.7 LITER V8. BOTH REAR DOOR PANELS ' DOOR HANDLE AREAS ARE CRACKED AND BROKEN WITH PIECES MISSING AND THE FRONT DOOR PANEL DOOR HANDLES ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF CRACKING. RECALL IS NEEDED FOR THIS OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

BOTH OF THE BACKSEAT PASSENGER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF. THE DRIVER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE IS BROKEN OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE GOD FORBID AN ACCIDENT OCCURS THERE'S NO WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DOORS IS TO PHYSICALLY ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. *TR

I AM WONDERING HOW THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THE GRAND CHEROKEE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. MY CAR HAS ONLY 67000 MILES AND ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKED. THE BACK TWO ARE BEING REPLACED BECAUSE THEY NO LONGER WORK. THIS POSES A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH SINCE REAR OCCUPANTS WOULD BE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. PERFORMING A SEARCH ONLINE AND THIS IS DEFINITELY A WIDESPREAD ISSUE FOR THE GRAND CHEROKEE. *TR

REAR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ON PASSENGER SIDE FAILED WITH NO MISUSE OR EXCESSIVE FORCE. DOOR HANDLE IS INOPERATIVE. MUST OPEN DOOR FROM EXTERIOR OF VEHICLE. NO SIGN OF ANY WEAR OR OBVIOUS DAMAGE FROM VISUAL INSPECTION. DEALERSHIP QUOTES REPAIR COST TO BE PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE. SEEMS TO BE MANUFACTURER DEFECT. OBVIOUS CONCERN THAT THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD IN CASE RAPID EGRESS FROM VEHICLE IS REQUIRED IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. *TR

ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKING AND BREAKING AT THE BASE OF THE HANDLE. I CAN BARELY GET OUT OF MY JEEP OPENING FROM THE INSIDE, AND I HAVE TO GET OUT TO LET MY SON OUT AT SCHOOL. MY CHILDREN MUST WAIT FOR ME TO OPEN THEIR DOORS, AND IF I WERE TO GET INTO A COLLISION AND MY CAR ON FIRE, I WOULD IN NO WAY HAVE TIME TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN, GET OUT, THEN LET MY KIDS OUT BEFORE AN EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE AND OTHER FLUIDS ENGULFED MY VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, OR THE DRIVER HANDLE WOULD BE THE WORST, FOR IT IS MOST USED. THE DRIVER HANDLE WAS THE LAST TO BREAK, AND I'M NOT HAPPY FOR THE MONEY I'M SOON TO SPEND, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEARCH ONLINE AND FIND SO MANY OTHERS HAVING THE VERY SAME COMPLAINT. *TR

THE DOOR HANDLES AND PLASTIC SURROUNDING THE DOOR HANDLES HAVE CRACKED AND DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM OR RECALL. IF YOU GET TRAPPED IN YOUR JEEP AND THE DOOR HANDLE BREAKS THEN THERE'S NO WAY OUT FROM THAT DOOR. MY JEEP IS IN GREAT CONDITION HARDLY ANY WEAR AND TEAR. THIS IS DEFECTIVE LEMON MATERIAL. IT JUST CRUMBLES. *TR

DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE FELL APART WHEN OPENING DOOR. TWO YEARS EARLIER, REAR PASSENGER DOOR DID SAME. FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ALSO CRACKING. REAL SAFETY HAZARD. CAN NOT EXIT VEHICLE WITH WINDOW ROLLED UP. *TR

I HAVE A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED, 2005. THE REAR RIGHT DOOR HANDLE CRACKED AND UPON EXITING OF MY FAMILY MEMBER, THE HAND SIMPLY BROKE OFF. IN THE PAST WEEK, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A THREATENING TO BREAK OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE. I AM THE ONLY ONE DRIVING MY JEEP AND I WORRY THAT WHEN I HAVE MY GRANDCHILD IN THE VEHICLE AND THE REST BREAK AS IT APPEARS THEY ARE THREATENING, EXITING THE VEHICLE WILL BE AN ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED BOTH THE DEALERSHIP IN MY TOWN AS WELL AS CHRYSLER REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE DOOR PANELS RATHER THAN THE ACTUAL DOOR HANDLES. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD AND THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR THEM AS WELL AS THE CUSTOMERS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT BECOMES A REAL PROBLEM. *TR...

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED ARE ALL BREAKING. THE PLASTIC BEHIND THE DOOR HANDLES INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ARE MADE OF CHEAP PLASTIC. THE PLASTIC BREAKS AND MAKES THE DOOR HANDLES NOT WORK PROPERLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES FRACTURED AND SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE HANDLES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

BOTH REAR DOOR HANDLES AND EVERYTHING AROUND THEM FROM THE INTERIOR HAS BROKEN OFF. WE CANNOT OPEN THE REAR DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. IF YOU ARE IN THE BACK YOU COULDN'T GET OUT IN AN ACCIDENT AND/OR FIRE. I SEES ALLOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ONLINE. USED LIKE NORMAL, NO ABUSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES FRACTURED ON ALL FOUR DOORS. THE DOORS COULD ONLY OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES AND PANELS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES IN THE FRONT SEAT, BOTH HAVE BECOME HARD AND BRITTLE AND HAVE CRUMBLED. IF THE DRIVER'S HANDLE DETERIORATES ANY MORE THE DOOR HANDLE WILL NO LONGER WORK AND YOU COULD BE TRAPPED IN THE CAR IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS A HUGE CHUNK OF PLASTIC THAT HAS BROKEN OFF AND THIS INSIDE DOOR HANDLE IS RARELY USED. *TR

DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF. THE OTHER 3 DOOR HANDLES HAVE ALSO STARTED TO CRACK AND BECOME LOOSE. IT STARTS WITH A CRACK IN THE PLASTIC, THE CRACK THEN TURNS INTO A HOLE ABOVE THE METAL HANDLE. THE ACTUAL METAL HANDLE ITSELF THEN LOOSENS UP AND COMPLETELY COMES OFF. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHER 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS HAVE HAD. IT'S NOT FROM EXCESSIVE USE, IT'S A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I CANNOT GET OUT OF MY CAR UNLESS SOMEONE OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. I WOULD ASSUME THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD CONSIDERING IT TRAPS THE OPERATOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. *TR

PLASTIC INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE ALL CRUMBLING AND DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR PASSENGERS. ALL FOUR HANDLES ARE AFFECTED. WINDOW MUST BE OPENED AND CAR DOOR MUST BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE WHILE LEANING OUT THE WINDOW. *TR

THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2005 AND UP HAS INSIDE DOOR PANELS MADE OF PLASTIC ,AND THE DOOR HANDLES WHICH ALLOW OPENING THE VEHICLE DOORS FOR THE INSIDE ARE ATTACHED TO THIS WEAK PLASTIC PANEL. OVER TIME THE DOOR HANDLE PLASTIC ATTACHMENT POINTS BEGAN TO CRACK AND BREAK AWAY , EVENTUALLY CAUSING THE OPENING HANDLE TO FALL OFF,AND THE DOOR IS THEN NOT ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM INSIDE. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR FIRE IN THE VEHICLE WHILE THIS CONDITION EXISTS , THE OCCUPANTS AT THOSE DOORS WOULD BE UNABLE TO ESCAPE THE VEHICLE THRU THE DOORS WITH THIS PROBLEM. CHRYSLER SERVICE STATES THAT THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS FOR THEM TO ASSIST ME IN ANY WAY, TO REPAIR THIS ALL THE INSIDE DOOR PANELS MUST BE REPLACED. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE # 1-800-992-1997. *TR

BOTH REAR DOOR HANDLES ON MY GRAND CHEROKEE ARE BROKEN. FIRST THE LEFT SIDE BROKE IN MARCH 2012, THEN THE RIGHT SIDE BROKE A FEW MONTHS AFTERWARDS. ALL REAR SEATED PASSENGERS INSIDE THE VEHICLE ARE UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS. THE FRONT SEATED PASSENGERS HAVE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DOOR HANDLE ISSUE IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE I FEAR I WON'T BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE I MUST ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AND USE THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOORS MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

RIGHT REAR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE PLASTIC WAS BROKEN WHILE GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. PLASTIC IS EXTREMLY BRITTLE. RIGHT FRONT INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE THE SAME WAY ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE DOOR HANDLE WAS NOT JERKED OR ABUSED IN ANY WAY. THEY BOTH LOOKED TO BE IN PERFECT CONDITION BEFORE THEY BROKE. *JS

FIRST, THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE A HAZARD. ALL FOUR ARE CRACKED AND ONE BROKE OFF AS MY GRAND CHILD OPEN THE BACK SEAT DOOR TO GET OUT. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE IS BREAKING OFF AT ANY TIME, THE OTHERS ARE CRACKED. I AM AFRAID THAT IN AN ACCIDENT SOME OF US MIGHT NOT MAKE IT OUT. THEY ARE TOO EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. I TRIED TO TRADE IN THE JEEP BUT NO LUCK! I KNOW THERE ARE MORE JEEPS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HOPE THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS WITH DEATHS, YET ! HELP !!! THE SECOND, IS THE CATALYST CONVERTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AFTER A YEAR, HOW MANY TIMES HAS IT BEEN REPLACED BEFORE? I CANT GET THAT INFO. *TR

MY 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS A DEFECT THAT INCLUDES ALL OF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BRAKING FROM REGULAR USE. THIS PROBLEM IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS ANYONE INSIDE THE VEHICLE CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. FURTHER MORE, CHILDREN AND OR ADULTS MAY ACCIDENTALLY CUT THEMSELVES ON THE SHARP BROKEN PLASTIC EDGES OF THE BROKEN HANDLE. IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE HANDLES I HAD TO ORDER A NEW DOOR PANEL, YET AFTER ONLY 6 MONTHS THE HANDLE WAS BROKEN AGAIN. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE RELATED TO MY JEEP ONLY, WITH A LITTLE RESEARCH ITS EASY TO FIND THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE VERY SAME PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING WITH ANY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FROM 2005-2010. *JS

AFTER CHRISTMAS AFTER TAKING MY STEPSON'S COUSIN HOME, I NOTICED THAT THE DOOR HANDLES ON THE BACK DOORS WERE HANGING, WITH THE SURROUNDING PLASTIC BUSTED. I THOUGHT IT HAPPENED WHEN THE DOORS WERE OPENED, AND THAT THEY WERE OPENED TOO HARD. TOOK TO A DEALER (CHEVY DEALER, THAT I BOUGHT VEHICLE FROM) AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO REPLACE ENTIRE DOOR PANELS, INSTEAD OF JUST THE DOOR HANDLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE CRACKED AND THE DOORS COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT ALL PANEL ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

ALL FOUR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN TO VARYING DEGREES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OVER SEVERAL YEARS. THE DOOR HANDLE THAT IS MOST INTACT IS THE DRIVER'S HANDLE. IRONICALLY THIS CAR IS TYPICALLY ONLY USED BY ONE PERSON WHO USES THAT DOOR HANDLE. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES. IT HAS BECOME A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR OUR FAMILY. MY HUSBAND WILL NOT TAKE PASSENGERS FOR FEAR THAT IF THERE WOULD BE AN EMERGENCY OR ACCIDENT HIS PASSENGERS WOULD BE UNABLE TO EXIT THE CAR. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE CARS OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ONE DOOR HANDLE BREAK MUCH LESS ALL FOUR. JEEP HAS MADE ME BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE WHEN I CONTACTED THEM. ONLINE SEARCHES MAKE ME BELIEVE OTHERWISE. *TR

ALL 2 HANDLE'S ARE BROKEN AND 2 ARE CRACKED THIS IS A DANGEROUS TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IF THEIR IS A ACCIDENT. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HE SAID THE COST IS ON ME I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. AND I AM NOT ALONG I SEE AT YOUTUBE WHEN I WAS LOOKING HOW TO FIX THE DOOR, BUT WHEN I SEEN THIS HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=QSFRZ7CIBKY I SAID, WHAT! I NEED YOUR HELP! *TR

DOOR HANDLE ON 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO SEEMS TO BE READY TO BREAK ON DRIVER DOOR. I CAN SEE A SORT OF PIN CRACKING THROUGH THE DOOR ITSELF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY. NOTIFIED JEEP DEALER IN CONCORD, NC AND I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A NEW DOOR PANEL ASSEMBLY TO FIX THIS AS IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR KEEPS MOVING TO UNLOCKED, MAKING THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE A CHILD COULD OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. *TR

THE PLASTIC INTERIOR DOOR PANELS ARE BREAKING AT THE DOOR HANDLES. WHEN THE CRACKS PROCEED FAR ENOUGH THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BREAK OFF TRAPPING OCCUPANTS INSIDE. ALL FOUR DOORS ARE BROKEN, THE DRIVER'S DOOR LEAST OF ALL. IT IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE BUT A REAL SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

I WENT TO OPEN MY DRIVER'S DOOR THIS MORNING AND IT WOULDN'T OPEN, HAD TO OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE. AFTER OPEN THE DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT AND LATCH. THE PLASTIC ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR HANDLE IS CRACKED AND BAD. COMMON PROBLEM, CHRYSLER GROUP SHOULD RECALL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AMONG MANY GRAND CHEROKEES. *TR

JEEP DOOR HANDLES ARE FAULTY. THE PLASTIC SURROUNDING THE DOOR HANDLE IS A FAULTY PRODUCT. THE PLASTIC STARTS CRACKING AND FALLING APART. THEN THE ACTUAL HANDLE HAS NO SUPPORT AND BEGINS TO HAVE PROBLEMS. I CAN NO LONGER LOCK THE VEHICLE PROPERLY. THREE DOORS ARE AFFECTED THUS FAR. *TR

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BROKE OFF MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. *TR

I HAVEN'T BEEN IN A WRECK YET; BUT THIS IS MORE OF PREVENTATIVE MEASURE. I HAVE LOOKED AT MULTIPLE SITES AND SEEN WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BREAKING OFF. I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS THE 1ST THEY HAVE HEARD OF IT, AND WAS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALL FOUR OF MY HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF AND I HAVE RIGGED UP THE DRIVER DOOR, BUT AS FAR AS PASSENGERS THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET OUT IF THEIR WAS AN EMERGENCY. I WOULD THINK JEEP WOULD STEP UP AND ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS POORLY MADE PRODUCT. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A DOOR HANDLE. MY DRIVER DOOR HANDLE IS JUST ABOUT TO DROP OFF.. I NOTICED THE "LOOSE" HANDLES BUT MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR DOESN'T HAVE A HANDLE FOR THE SAME REASON. JEEP DEFINITELY NEEDS TO RECALL THESE ISSUES BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. MASSIVE LIST OF COMPLAINS IN THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND JEEP/CHRYSLER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL...HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ALL OF US THAT HAVE KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT AND OTHER PASSENGERS AND GOD FORBID THERE'S AN ACCIDENT OPENS LIKE YOU MENTIONED A FIRE OR AN ACCIDENT AND YOUR PASSENGERS CAN'T EXIT THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHERE YOU OPEN UP THE DOOR BY THE DOOR HANDLE IT HAS STARTED BREAKING ON MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND BOTH OF THE DOORS IN THE BACK SEAT. *TR

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE INOPERABLE. CANNOT OPEN DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. HANDLES CRACK AND BREAK EASILY. THIS CAUSES OPERATOR AND PASSENGERS UNABLE TO EXIT VEHICLE IN A TIMELY FASHION. DOORS MUST BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 5.7L HEMI AND AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAD SNAPPED OFF SO THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE IS CRACKED, BUT NOT COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF YET. THERE IS SOME SPIDER CRACKING ON THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE HANDLE AS WELL. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH, I REALIZED THAT IT'S NOT A PART THAT CAN JUST BE REPLACED, IT MUST BE REPLACED BY JEEP AND CAN COST UPWARDS OF $3,000. I SEE THIS AS A VERY URGENT SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF I GET IN A CAR WREAK OR THERE IS A FIRE, MY PASSENGERS AND I WOULD HAVE TROUBLE EXITING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP AND SOON BEFORE THIS TAKES A TRAGIC TURN. *TR

ALL FOUR OF MY DOOR HANDLES ARE CRACKED. I CAN NO LONGER OPEN MY REAR DOORS FROM THE INSIDE BECAUSE THE HANDLE IS COMPLETELY BUSTED. MY TWO FRONT HANDLES ARE ALMOST THE SAME. IF I HAVE PASSENGERS RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT I HAVE TO OPEN THEIR DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. I FEAR THAT IF I'M EVER IN AN ACCIDENT NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE UNLESS AN OUTSIDE PERSON IN PRESENT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND I FEEL THAT JEEP HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO ITS CONSUMERS TO FIX SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ON FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR DRIVER SIDE HAVE BOTH FAILED. THE HANDLE PIVOTS ON BRITTLE PLASTIC AND IT CRACKS. *TR

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ON FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR DRIVER SIDE HAVE BOTH FAILED. THE HANDLE PIVOTS ON BRITTLE PLASTIC AND IT CRACKS UNLESS YOU'RE EXTREMELY GENTLE. DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

MY DOOR HANDLES ON 4 OF MY DOORS (NOT ONE OR TWO BUT FOUR) ON THE INSIDE HAVE CRACKED, SOME CRACKED WHERE ONE IS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE WHICH NOW MAKES THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE PLASTIC IN THE DOORS ARE SO BRITTLE THAT ANY FORCE CAN CAUSE THE HANDLE TO BREAK. I HAVE APPROACHED JEEP ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY DO NOT EVEN LISTEN TO MY COMPLAINT AND SAID I JUST HAD TO BUY A NEW REPLACEMENT DOOR PANEL. A DOOR PANEL TO REPLACE A FAULTY DOOR HANDLE IS QUITE UNACCEPTABLE AND NOT A LOGICAL EXCUSE FOR THEIR BAD AND VERY CHEAP PRODUCT. YOU PAY GOOD MONEY TO STAY WITH AN AMERICAN VEHICLE BUT WITH EXCUSES LIKE THIS MAKE ME WANT TO BUY FOREIGN.SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE TO FIND MANY PEOPLE IN MY SAME...

ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES ARE COMING APART AND ONE IS COMPLETELY BROKE. IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY, NOONE WILL BE ABLE TO GET OUT IF THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CHEROKEE AND COMMANDER OWNERS FACING THIS SAME SITUATION. THIS IS A SEVERE AND LIFE-THREATENING SAFETY ISSUE AND CHRYSLER JEEP REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR USING CHEAP MATERIAL THAT LITERALLY DISINTEGRATES ON ITS OWN. THEIR PRICE FOR FIXING THIS DEFECT IS $700-$900 PER DOOR AND THEY ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO COVER ANY PORTION OF IT. IF A COMPANY FREELY DECIDES TO USE INFERIOR MATERIALS JUST TO MAKE MORE PROFIT, THIS CREATES SAFETY ISSUES, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN AND INFANTS, THEN THEY MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS REPAIRS AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. *TR
