Interior door handle the drivers door has broken off behind the handle and the passenger front door is cracked. I feel its a safety issue as it seems to be a common complaint in which the doors become totally inoperable, mine have not gotten that far, but i am handicapped and that would complicate my situation even more. It appears to be very cheap plastic and the cost of repairing is written at $770. Plus tax. *tr

I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee. The interior door panels and handles to open the doors are all broken. The dealership wants $600-700 per door to replace. This is a safety defect rendering the passengers unable to open up the doors. The chrysler corp should do a recall and fix this obvious and dangerous design/manufacturing issue. As a result of the broken door panels, the door handles will not properly open up…

The dealer states it is $700 per door to fix. Parts to fix the door handles are…

2005 jeep grand cherokee. The interior door handles (2) have broken and caved into the door panel. The doors must be opened from the outside. If someone was somehow trapped inside the vehicle, this would create an additional safety concern. The dealership wants to charge $700.00 to fix each door. I have spoken to several jeep grand cherokee owners and this seems to be a very common problem. *tr

All interior door panels are cracked around the door handles. Three out of four door handles have snapped off and the very last one is hanging on by a thread. The handles seem to be attached to the actual door panel which is comprised of hard plastic.
