| Description of the problem | 3 of the 4 interior door handles have broken off out of the handle housing. The 2 back doors are unable to open from the inside creating a serious safety risk. The drivers door is hanging on by a thread. Still operable but handle housing is completely broken. Even normal wear and tear should not cause this type of breakage on so many vehicles. Chrysler should step up and rectify this issue before deaths occur and lawsuits begin. |
