Description of the problem	After 4+ years of consumer complaints about his very serious safety hazard, still nothing has been done. The door handles of my 2006 jeep grand cherokee started crumbling and cracking about two years ago at about 38,000 miles. A year ago, the first door handle simply broke off amongst shards of paneling around it, making the door inoperable. Today, three out of four panels have desintegrated around the handles to the point where they are inoperable as well, effectively trapping someone in the back of the vehicle if i dared to to have passengers and got into an accident. The driver's side is hanging by a thread. I am unable to drive my clients anymore due to liability issues and the danger that stems from this awfully poor design and quality. I have read 100s of testimonials to this avail from other jeep owners and this grave safety issue persists and is alive and well without any official push for remediation. The dealers want almost $3000 to replace their shoddy and dangerous door panels. Please. It is imperative that after years of collecting data on this issue, something will be done. These faulty door panels are turning the vehicle potentially into a death trap for anyone inside... *js
