The door handles easily crack off of the door panel which prevents the door from being able to be opened. This is a safety issue. And it can not be replaced without the whole door panel being replaced.

'takata recall' my door handles have completely cracked in my front seats to the point they are very loose and have to be pulled all the way out just to open the door. My backseat handles are completely off. I was parked at home when the back right came off. At the gas station when my son pulled the handles in the back left came off.

2005 jeep grand cherokee has all 4 interior door handles cracked and broken and are unusable. These door handles are prone to failure. A simple search shares thousands of complaints of consumers experiencing the same issues with this 05-09 model vehicle. In the event of fire, crash, water intrusion, etc. Of the vehicle, inside occupants are unable to exit the vehicle safely, if at all. I am looking for support in requesting chrysler to offer a recall and correction for this safety concern.

The interior door handles are connected by piece of cheap plastic and the plastic breaks easily; rendering the interior handles useless. It's happening on 3 of my 4 handles. It's a safety issue because it makes the indoor handles un-useable. If involved in an accident, it may make it difficult, if not impossible to exit the vehicle. There are many,many complaints. I believe it's involves most grand cherokees from years 2005-2010 and jeep is aware of the issue. However they have offered no resolution other than replacing them. This requires replacing the entire interior door panel at an expense of at least $500 per door. I as well as many others can not afford to replace them. Nor should consumers have to foot the bills for an obvious, costly and dangerous design flaw.
