| Description of the problem | Interior door handles have broken. They have been this way for many many years.... This seems to be very common with this model jeep. The plastic cup that houses the lever became very brittle and door handle basically broke apart in many pieces. 3 out of the 4 are broken. The rear doors aren't used much, so assume that's why one of those is still in one piece. Because the cup is part of the door panel, the fix is to replace the entire door panel! Please reference the sites below. No abuse, just standard use, seems to be a material issue. For reference: http://www. Denlorstools.
