| Description of the problem | The interior door handles both front and back are cracking and breaking off in my jeep grand cherokee limited 2005. No longer is it possible to open the front passenger side door from the inside. The back passenger side door is the same. Both the front and back driver side handles are cracking with pieces of plastic broken off. They are eventually going to break off as well. This is not occurring to abuse of opening the doors. I have probably had the back doors opened from the inside a total of 30 times for the three years i have owned the vehicle. Do not have children that ride in the back (have none), and do not transport people places from the backseat of my car very often. I have searched on line and this is a issue for thousands of other 2005 jeep cherokee owners. It is a hazard and danger if someone is unable to get out of my jeep in a emergency. |
