Both of the backseat passenger interior door handles are completely broken off. The driver interior door handle is broken off. This is a safety hazard because god forbid an accident occurs there's no way to open the door from the inside. The only way to open the doors is to physically roll down the window and open the door from the outside.
The two back inside door handles are cracked and broken. The rear passenger side door cannot be opened from the inside. The passenger side door handle is also cracked and its a matter of time before all doors cannot be opened from the inside.
About three weeks ago my 7 year old granddaughter tried to get out of the Jeep and door handle was plastic was cracked and just hanging. This past week end when we had the grandchildren again my husband mentioned the door handle was broken and could not exit the vehicle from that door. We decided to look at all the door handles are all cracked and broken. I decided to research online and this problem has been going on and neglected for years. If an emergency occurred we would be trapped in the vehicle. This is a safety hazard. I was very upset. We purchased this vehicle less than a year ago and was in excellent condition because had one owner. Why was this not recalled, the plastic is too thin to support the handle!!.
The door handles of the interior doors are all breaking apart. This could be a safety issue in case of an accident and the people inside of the vehicle not being able to escape. The material is very thin plastic that is very cheap and the reason not one but all of the interior door handles are broken and/or cracked about to break.
2005 Jeep cherokee limited. There has been an issue for years reguarding the plactic door panels interrior of the car. With all 4 doors cracked and 1 ( drivers door) will not open from the inside. This is a life safety to all occupants in this car. With a crash or fire to happen and you cant get out of a door due to poor design of the door by the manufactor. Theses door panels start out with small hair cracks and one time of opening the door you have cracked all the plastic and not able to open up the door. I feel that Jeep needs to stand up and correct this issue on a recall. After this happeneing you can take it in and they will put the new design that doesnt have this poor design for just over 800 dollars a door. So with this manufactor making a change to the panel, says they knew it was a poor design. This is happeneing to my understanding Jeeps of 2005- to around 2010. I have paid close attenetion to the same year that I own and 90% of the time you see the cracks at the handels inside. Please lets figure somthing out before people lose there kids life or there own life.
The area right above all 4 door handles are cracked and ready to come off the door. Which would leave me with no way to exit my car.
3 out of 4 of the interior door handles molding are broken and because of that, you can not open the doors from the inside using the doors handles. You have to let down the windows to open both of the back and front passenger doors in order to get out of the car. The driver side is beginning to have the same trouble with opening. The dealer price for replacement cost is about $200+ not including labor. I checked the internet for a solution only to discover that is a major problem with this year's model and many complaints have been filed with Chrysler. All said that Chrysler refused to help with the problem which is very costly for the average working person. To me it is a serious safety hazard when driving the car. What if the car catches fire, or rollover in a accident or goes in a body of water? I am hesitate to drive the vehicle because of that. All car owners expect to make repairs to their vehicle from daily use. However, it should not be the owner responsibility to pay for a repair when it is a know fact that many owners are having the same problem on the same model and year of the vehicle. Chrysler should be made to have recall to correct the problem.
Both the front & rear cheap plastic interior door handles have fallen out and broken into pieces. . . Thanks Jeep!.
The interior panel handles are all broken, I called the dealer and they said this would cost around 1,400 dollars to replace each frontside handles, by doing research over the internet I've notice that this is a very common defect on this vehicles, at this moment chrisler doesnt want to take any responsabilities on this defect. I am worry that in case of an accident my family and me could get stock inside the car.
