This failure makes it…

All four door handles on my 2006 jeep grand cherokee have broken. Two of the door handles were rendered inoperable due to the breakage. The other two are currently working but the breakage is getting progresivley worse. I believe this to be a serious safety issue for two reasons. One, an individual may not be able to egress the vehicle if an emergency arrises. Two, the breakage creates sharp jagged edges which may…

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
