Door handles have crumbled into nothing, every door won't open from inside this is ridiculously an emergency exit problem, just like old refridgerator doors and kids getting locked inside, just think if a child crawaled into the jeep on a 90-100 degree day , this is criminal negligence, how can you make such a passenger death trap , and not fix this , there is over 1million jeeps with this problem , yea how do you escape a fire , or flood, thought jeep was american made , best of the best, get you there and back safely, guess just not in or out like the back seat of a cop car , or your families tomb.

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.

The door handles on the interior of my jeep are very brittle. 2 out of 4 handles are currently broken as they are made only of plastic. This is a major issue with my vehicle as it poses a safety risk. Many people online have this same issue, this needs to be looked into, I am fearful for myself and my families safety in this car.

Driver's side interior door handle is broken and does not work.

My interior handles on all 4 doors have been cracked for years but now they are completely crumbled. At first, I had to open the door for passengers in the rear seats, then, whomever was in my passenger seat, they had to wait for me to go around & open the door for them. They could not get out from the inside. It was a hassle but I mostly drive alone, so I tolerated it. As of yesterday, I now have to open my window, (drivers side), to open my door from the outside because it's crack to the point, that I can't open my door from the inside any longer. It's a very unsafe situation. If I was in an accident & needed to get out I wouldn't be able to. Years ago, the jeep dealership in clearwater, fl. Was going to replace door panels, to replace the handles, but the district mgr that ok'd was transferred & the new district mgr. Refused. This is unacceptable, could be a matter of life & death. I'm hoping & praying you will do something to remedy this. If not, I'm thinking of calling the local news. All 4 interior door opening handles have cracked, broken & crumbled. Door handles are totally inoperable. This is a dangerous safety issue ' in an emergency situation driver & passengers will not be able to exit the vehicle, causing serious injury or death! Manufacturer safety recall warranted!

'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.
