2006 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Structure Body Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1115597
Internal NHTSA #	10639816
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	GRAND CHEROKEE
Model Year	2006
File date	05/09/14
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Passenger rear door handle broken off due to cheap, defective plastic the door panel is made of. Upon further inspection, all 3 of the other doors have the same cracks in the door panel - it is only a matter of time before the plastic on those cracks and chips off, and those door handles also break off. You can not open the door from the inside once the handles break off - this is a defect in the doors. This is not a result of wear and tear on a vehicle that had less than 50,000 miles when we purchased it. I have never owned a vehicle where broken door handles are considered normal "wear and tear". The cost of repair is $600-$700 per door panel - chyrsler needs to own the fact that these parts are defective and cover the cost for their owners. There are many, many posts on the internet regarding this issue from hundreds of jeep owners - it is inexcusable. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
