Adaptive Equipment problems of the 2007 Dodge Nitro

I am original owner of this vehicle. It is garaged , well maintained, and serviced by dealership. There is no history of abuse, or auto accidents associated with this vehicle. The interior drivers door handle snapped off in my hands yesterday, while attempting to exit the parked vehicle. This is a considerable safety concern. Only exit is through an electric window, due to large console between seats. I have contacted doge, and due to mileage (79k) and age (2007), they offer no assistance in fixing, so I will have to pay at dealership. I have seen enough complaints in various forums of this same issue, to warrant contacting you. This is not cosmetic, but of vital concern to driver safety. Please consider further action with a view to recall , so that manufacturer will proceed rectify this dangerous flaw. Thank you for your consideration.

Drivers side front door handle snapped while trying to exit the vehicle. I had just purchased the vehicle (used) and asked about it being replaced and was told that it was not covered. I was told it would cost about $300 to replace (the handle was only about $70, the rest was labor). I did not feel that I should have had to pay for this expense and I did not have the "extra cash" at this time so I opted out for repair. A year later, the front passenger door handle snapped while trying to exit the vehicle. I refuse to pay for this unacceptable defect. This is a life threatening hazard and needs to be recalled.
