ALL 4 INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF THE CAR AFTER REGULAR USE. MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT SOMEONE OPENING IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE PLASTIC THAT MAKES UP THE DOOR HANDLE BREAKS APART BECAUSE IT WAS POORLY MADE. THIS WOULD BE EXTREMELY DEADLY IF IT HAPPENED TO SOMEONE DURING A FIRE IN THE CAR.

THE INSIDE PLASTIC AROUND ALL DOOR HANDLES IS CRACKED AND BROKEN. I'M FINDING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND CAN BE DANGEROUS AS IT EFFECTS THE HANDLES AND BEING ABLE TO GET OUT IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. I, MYSELF, HAVE PROBLEMS OPENING THE BACK DOORS. AND NOW THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR HANDLE IS ABOUT TO BREAK

DOOR HANDLES ON ALL INTERIOR DOORS HAVE BROKEN AND BECOME UN-USEABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS AS PASSENGERS HAVE TO BE LET OUT OR OPEN WINDOWS AND TRY TO OPEN DOOR FROM OUTSIDE , IF THERE WAS A FIRE OR WATER HAZARD THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO ESCAPE AS ELECTRICS WOULDNT ALLOW WINOWS TO OPEN , IM AFRAID TO TRAVEL WITH MY KIDS AND PRICE TO FIX IS OVER $3000.00 AND NO ONE WANTS TO FIX THEM , EVEN IF I SAY ILL PAY ITS REDICULOUS, DANGEROUS AND OUT RIGHT FRAUD . JEEP NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE AS THE DANGER TO LIFE IS MASSIVE AND THERE IS 100,000 VECHILES WITH THIS PROBLEM. JUST THE BROKEN PARTS CAN CUT PEOPLE, NOT RELIZING IT . HAPPENED BY NORMAL USE ACTUALLY LESS THAN NORMAL USE AS REAR PASSANGER DOORS FAILED FASTER THEN FRONT AND OVER THE YEARS HAD 3/4 LESS USAGE THAN FRONT AS I USE IT EVERDAY.

I ALSO HAVE A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LMTD AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL IS BROKEN AROUND THE DOOR HANDLE. THE DOOR HANDLE IS HANGING ON BY THE CABLES. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR OVER 2 YEARS. THE ONLY REASON THE OTHER DOOR INTERIOR PANELS HAVEN'T BROKEN YET IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ARE RARELY USED. I DO NOT KNOW WHY JEEP HAS NOT BEEN SUPPORTIVE ENOUGH TO HAVE A RECALL TO REPLACE ALL 4 DOOR PANELS SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE CHEAP PLASTIC THAT WAS USED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I COULD GET MY DOOR OPEN IN A CRASH.
