All door handles are broken on the inside. These have not been used improperly. The plastic behind the handle is very weak and it breaks. Neither of my back doors can be opened from the inside. I am completely restricted from using the back seat of my car because if an accident were to occur, anyone in the back seat would be trapped inside the vehicle. Front doors are equally broken but can be opened after a few…

I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited, and all of the interior door panels have cracked around the door handle release. My concern is that the poor construction or the door panels and the latch mechanism will cause occupants to be stuck inside when the door handles eventually fail. The vehicle only has 36000 miles, and is very well taken care of, and this poor quality construction is unacceptable. *tr

2005 jeep grand cherokee - interior door handles broken all of the interior door handles on my vehicle have broken. Apparently the only available fix is to replace the entire door panel assembly. I have solicited quotations for each panel, and the lowest offered price has been $750/panel. Based upon the fact that 4 of 4 handles have broken in the same manner, i believe it sound to conclude the handle suffers from a…

When opening my doors the door handles started developing cracks and eventually cracked into several pieces and the handles are no longer attached to the door. Calls and a visit to a dealer left me with the only option to replace the entire interior door at over $200. *tr

Vehicle had bird droppings on hood. Washed off same day and ate right through paint down to metal. Jeep will not cover repairs. Noticed that clear coat either does not exist on this vehicle or is very thin. Noticed other spots where bird droppings have left marks on paint and chips in paint all over vehicle. I have owned several vehicles and never have seen paint this bad. *jb

Head Restraint · Structure
I attempted to install a car seat for a 3 year old child in the back seat of my 2005 grand cherokee. However, the head rest interfered with proper installation of the car seat. The head rest would not allow the seat to be tightly mounted to the back seat of the car, but rather held the child seat out by about 2-3 inches. This prevented the seat from being safely installed. It is very difficult to remove the head…
