2006 jeep grand cherokee interior door handles disintegrate making it impossible to open doors from inside. Obviously a tremendous safety concern in case of mishap as all four disintegrate at the same rate. We had 2 totally fail rendering door inoperative and occupant unable to exit. *tr

The area behind the passenger side interior door handle has imploded, the plastic is cracked in several places, allowing the interior handle to hang loosely. The area would be best described as the well behind the handle. That door saw almost no use. It does not allow for normal exit of the vehicle, this is a safety issue. *tr

I took the vehicle to my local dealership (hall chrysler jeep in…

1. No events leading up to failure. Normal use ....and way less use than normal on some interior door handles. 2. Interior door handles crack, plastic breaks, handles go limp, handles fall off. 3. Called chrysler. Looked for recall notices figuring this is major if people can't get out of a vehicle in an emergency. Nothing done to correct the failure. Can't find parts to replace missing and broken handles. Chrysler…

All four inside door handles are cracked/broken, the front driver side handle is dangling making it hard to open and the passenger front handle seems to be going in the same direction. The two rear handle casings are cracked and hopefully will last being the rear seats are hardly used. This could become a very dangerous even life threatening situation if it becomes totally broken off and unable to open it in an…

3 of 4 door panels with door handle to get out of vehicle has broken in same place. Driver has to get out of car to open the 3 doors. This is a safety issue because no one can get out of the car execpt the driver. This is caused most likely due to the thin plastic holding the door mechanism. Also if company (jeep) did not use uv protected plastic the sun and hi temperatures in texas may have contributed to the…

The interior door plastic that holds the door handle has cracked and broken causing the parts to fall, causing the door to be only opened from the out site. This is a serious safety issue. A person on the inside of the car can not open the door unless you roll down the window and open from the out side. It appears this has happening with this vehicle on a large scale. This has occurred on 3 of the 4 doors. The…

All 4 of the inside door handles have broken with no misuse whatsoever, as a matter of fact each door was "broken" by different people by simply trying to open the door. I am worried that if there was an accident my passengers or myself could not get out of the truck. *tr
