Issue ID	850410
Internal NHTSA #	10392623

Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2005

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	2005 jeep grand cherokee limited automobiles have cracking and crumbling plastic surrounding the door handles. In case of fire or crash, you would not be able to open the door to get out of a deadly situation, due to cracking and crumbling plastic that was used in the door panels and hold the door handle. In many cases 2 inch large holes are next to the door handles due to plastic failure, and in some cases the entire door handle is no longer connected to plastic and is inoperable. This appears to be the result of a bad mix of plastic compounds, and/or improper pressures/temperatues in injection molding, during the original door panel manufacturing. Chrysler has supplier recovery options to pay for this repair/replacement, but will not allow it unless excessive pressure is put upon them, instead pushing consumers to pay for the $2200. 00 repair on their own.
