2005 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Structure Body Door Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	969581
Internal NHTSA #	10502713
Manufacurer	Chrysler Group LLC
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2005
File date	12/04/12
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The left rear door handle has broken off. I open the door to place an item in the back seat and noticed the door handle laying inside the door. The handle itself is in tack but the plastic surrounding where the handle attaches with the door was broken. There was not trauma, heavy or extensive use placed on the door (inside or out). When researching possible solutions to my problem, i became overwhelmed by how many other owners were dealing with the same problem. I called a couple of dealers and was floored by the cost to fix the situation and attempting to used a door from the junk yard is not a solution due to the problem appearing to be universal to this vehicle. My concern is that i now have a vehicle where one door can only be opened from the outside creating a safety issue. On an upside, i am thankful after reading other peoples situations that i only have one door affected, but now i am on edge and cautious that my other doors will soon follow suit.
