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

Issue ID	979928
Internal NHTSA #	10511481
Manufacurer	Chrysler Group LLC
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2005
File date	25/04/13
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	All of the interior door handles molding are broken and because of that, you can not open the doors from the inside using the doors handles. You have to let down the windows to open both of the back and front passenger doors in order to get out of the car. The driver side is beginning to have the same trouble with opening. The dealer price for replacement cost is about $2500. 00 not including labor. I checked the internet for a solution only to discover that is a major problem with this year's model and many complaints have been filed with chrysler. All said that chrysler refused to help with the problem which is very costly for the average working person. To me it is a serious safety hazard when driving the car. What if the car catches fire, or rollover in a accident or goes in a body of water? I am hesitate to drive the vehicle because of that. All car owners expect to make repairs to their vehicle from daily use. However, it should not be the owner responsibility to pay for a repair when it is a know fact that many owners are having the same problem on the same model and year of the vehicle. Chrysler should be made to have recall to correct the problem. There should be a recall or class action law suit on this safety issue.
