2005 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Structure Body Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1179759
Internal NHTSA #	10713698
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2005
File date	17/04/12
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Approx. 2012, the casing that the inside door handle sits on cracked and broke apart; and, as a result, the door could no longer be opened from the inside because the handle was no longer secured and just hanged. I noticed approx. A year ago that the handle's casing was cracked on both the back driver and front passenger sides. Since, the back driver's side has broken and the door cannot be opened from the inside. I just noticed that the driver's side is also cracked and with time it will also break and the door can no longer be opened. This is a dangerous because once the casings break it does not allow anyone to exit from the vehicle. I am in awe that the issue has not been resolved when many others have the same safety concern. This is not a matter of wear and tear because very seldom does anyone sit in my back seats. No design or defect should compromise the handle where a passenger is not able to exit a car.
