| Description of the problem | I have 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The problem is that 3 of the 4 inside door handles are broken. The plastic that holds the handle in place is very thin cheep plastic that cracks and breaks there are holes is some of them and on the driver door the latch is completely broken. This can very easily become a life threating issue if there was a fire and some one could not get out of the car. If you look on line you can find that is a very common problem with the 05 models. This is a youtube link that will show you a in detail the problem that i am talking about(http://www. Youtube. Com/watch?
