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,…

All 4 interior door opening handles breaking/failing: 1 rear door totally inoperable. ***this is a dangerous safety issue ' if handles break or are inoperable in certain emergency situations, passengers may not be able to exit the vehicle, causing serious injury or death!*** manufacturer charge to replace/repair handles is prohibitively expensive: in my case, the cost of eight (8) monthly car payments!

The inside plastic around all door handles is cracked and broken. I'm finding this is a common problem and can be dangerous as it effects the handles and being able to get out in case of emergency. I, myself, have problems opening the back doors. And now the passenger front door handle is about to break

A lot of owners of the jeep grand cherokee are experiencing the same problem with the dim head lights and trouble starting the car . The car simply won't start you have to crank it about 20 times . The car will sometimes turn off while driving in the road

Multiple times a day, the vehicle is shutting off while driving! The speedometer randomly drops to zero and the steering wheel locks up and the car shuts off! For this reason, i am scared to drive on the highway in fear that it will cause a major accident. Also, it will not turn back on immediately. I have to let it sit for around 5 minutes before it will turn back on.
