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

Issue ID	973743

Manufacurer	Chrysler Group LLC
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2005
File date	01/04/10
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	All of the inside door handles are breaking off around the pull lever. It started with one of the back doors and now has spread to both back doors and the front passenger door. The plastic around the drivers door has begun to crack and will not be long before it fails as well. The door handle assembly is molded into the entire panel and the repair requires replacement of the entire door panel. Getting out of this car requires some skill. You have to pull straight out on the wire (that used to be connected to the pull lever) if the wire drops into the panel you can only exit the jeep by someone opening it from the outside. This is a problem. I did a search on the net and i found countless post of the exact same failure. Jeep is saying the same thing to anyone who contacts them. That it is abuse that has caused the issue and replacement is not covered under warranty and the cost is $700 per door.
