Description of the problem	Inside door handles to open the doors from the inside broke off. There is only one door handle left, the driver's side. I have already reported this to chrysler but they said i bought a used car 2005 jeep cherokee, as is. I bought the vehicle october 2008. The vehicle looked new, it only had 29,000 miles. The door handles broke along with the casing with no force what so ever. I told chysler that i have young grand children, that if an accident is to occur there is no way the children can get out of the vehicle. I live in brownsville, texas where the weather gets very hot in the summer. If ever one of my child gets in the vehicle and locks him/her self in, there is no way the child can get out. The temperatures in the summer sometimes reach 100 degrees. Right now, the driver has to get out first and open the door for everyone else. My wife, front passenger side, lowers the window first and opens the door from the outside. Even my wife, if by chance i turn off the motor get off the vehicle and walk away, there is no way my wife can get out of the vehicle. She can not reach the drivers handle or crossover the shift gear to get accross to get out of the vehicle. The vehicle motor needs to be running in order for the window's motor to work to lowere the window. I am just letting you know, maybe there are other owners with the same problem. I was told by a mechanic at an auto dealer chevolet that he saw a jeep just like mine with the same problem, the handles broken. I will be reporting this to my insurance allsate, for safety reasons in case an accident ever occurs. I read the article on the toyota recall, concerning farmers insurance where they have had a lot of complaints.
