Description of the problem	There is a defect in the plastic used to make the door panels on my 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The plastic around the door handle latches is breaking apart and crumbling. All 4 doors are having the same issue of the plastic failing. If the plastic continues to break apart the door handle will fail and you will not be able to open the door. This is safety issue which could prevent myself or passengers from exiting vehicle in case of an emergency. Dealership was contacted and informed of the defect. Dealership stated there was no recall and they had not come across said problem before. I informed them that it was obvious defect since all the doors were degrading at the same time. Dealership stated that my only option was to buy new door panels for $2600. My research shows that this is not an isolated incident and there have been many complaints of the defect door panels. This is a serious safety issue and chrysler needs to recall the door panels on this model.
