Description of the problem	There is a potentially serious safety issue concerning the interior door handles of the 2005 jeep grand cherokee. Apparently the plastic holding these door handles has a tendency to crack and break, causing the door handles to be inoperable from the inside of the vehicle. The door handle is only supported by the molded plastic of the entire plastic door panel, and not the metal frame of the door itself. There has been no blow or abnormal use to cause this problem, just the normal opening of the doors with the inside door handle. This condition has affected all 4 of our doors, with the handle itself completely missing (falling down inside the door) on the left rear passenger door. At this point, the handle on the right rear passenger door is not missing, but it is inoperable (nothing for the handle to pull against because it is cracked on the inside), and both front doors have cracks but are operational at this point. It is obvious that chrysler-jeep needs to resolve the problem before someone dies in a fire or accident, having gotten trapped inside the vehicle. We bought this vehicle new from the dealer, but the dealer has indicated there is no recall and it will cost ~$600 each to replace the entire door panels to fix the current problem. He also indicated that even with the new door panels, the problem may happen again. This is not acceptable!!! Must someone die to bring this serious problem to light.
