| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited. The handle on the rear passenger door broke from the door panel. This is a huge safety concern because a person sitting in the rear seat could not exit the vehicle. I was forced to replace the door panel because of this safety concern. The driver and passenger door panels are now cracked around the handles and it is only a matter of time before they break completely. I will then be forced to replace those door panels as well. I don't feel that i should have to pay for the replacement of these door panels because chrysler designed them poorly. Occupants in the vehicle should not be trapped inside the vehicle in the event of an emergency. Apparently, this is not an isolated incident. It has been a problem for numerous people that own this same vehicle. This should definitely be considered a recall and chrysler should be responsible!!!!!! |
