Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated the front driver's side plastic door panel, exhibited a hole around the door handle with several cracks in the surrounding area. There were also cracks visible on the other three door panels. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who informed the door panel would need to be replaced. The manufacturer offered to contribute towards the repair expense in the replacement of the four door panels. The vehicle had not been repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000. Js.

All four interior door handles and attaching mounts on my Jeep Grand Cherokee are now cracked are now not usable to exit the vehicle, numerous complaints to delmar Chrysler go unheard and unanswered, and the company offers no solution or recall to this obvious defect in the manufacture of this vehicle. The plastic used to mount the door handles is brittle and will crack beyond repair, making it impossible to open the door from the inside, this is a major safety issue. The vehicle cannot be exited by passenger in the event of a crash or emergency. I suppose someone will die in a crashed, burning, or sinking vehicle before Chrysler will step up and recall this important safety issue.

The interior door panel cracked where it is attached to the door and the handle falls off, leaving the passenger unable to exit the vehicle without assistance. This occurs with normal use, no abnormal use or abuse.

All four interior door panels have cracked and broken where it attaches to the door. Consequently, the door handles become inoperable because they are attached to the panel where the cracking occurs. This is a safety issue as both driver and passengers are unable to exit quickly in the event of an emergency and might not even be able to exit at all. Chrysler offers no assistance for this known issue, which appears to occur frequently with this model year.

After buying a pre-owned 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited (59k miles) a few days ago, I noticed that one of the backseat interior door handles is broken. There is no apparent break from what you can see, but some plastic must have cracked inside of the door itself. I've read that this is a common problem in 05-07 Jeep Grand Cherokees and there is no recall. It seems that, although it is only the one interior door handle now, eventually all four will break. This is a safety issue because it prevents passengers from exiting the vehicle without help from outside of the car. The fix is quoted at $400/door, making it somewhat unreasonable, especially for a crucial and simple function of the car.

The interior door handle on the drivers side front started to get hair line cracks in it. It is cracking more and more with use. At some point the handle will come apart and I will not be able to get out of my car. I asked the dealer about a repair and they want $800. 00 to replace the whole door panel. It appears this will happen with the other doors as well. There are after market repair kits, but after researching and finding that this is a cronic problem with the handles, I believe Jeep should replace or repair them for free.

Interior door handles are cracking and crumbling on the car. The only repair the dealer has is to replace the door panels for $800 each. I contacted Chrysler group llc customer assistance ([xxx]), they refuse to do anything about it. They will not acknowledge there is a problem with the door handles. They will only say that my car is to old, has no warranty so therefore they cannot assist me with this repair. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I have a 2006 Jeep cherokee laredo and 3 out of 4 interior door handles are completely broken. I even have an extended warranty that is supposed to cover everything but was told by the dealership that "trim" is not covered. How are interior door handles considered trim? I was told that the entire door panel would have to be replaced at $400. 00 each. This is not a cosmetic issue but a safety issue. The doors will not open from the inside. I am very afraid of getting into a car crash and my children not being able to exit the vehicle. I have read many, many stories of the exact same problem with these door handles. There should be a recall by daimlerchrysler.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that the plastic door handles fractured from all four doors. The contact spoke with the dealer and was told that the door handles were not covered under warranty and provided no further assistance. The failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 76,000.

All the inside door handles are starting to break off at the panel and would not be able to open the doors from the inside in the case od an accident.

Long story short my wife heard a noise in the passenger side front end. I had her stop by belle tire (where tires came from) to check it out. They said the passenger side lower control arm bracket separated from the frame and was not safe to drive! belle said they had never seen anything like it! I had it taken to town & country collision in flat rock (an a-1 shop) and they said they can't fix it unless they replace the whole frame! I also have a friend that's an insurance adjuster who has never seen anything like it! I'm wondering if there were ever any incidents in your system for anything like this? I will offer to give you the vehicle, as I did with Chrysler in my complaint to them, for investigative purposes? I know from my years of work in the automotive industry that there were salt spray tests & requirements on most chassis parts. People are astounded that a 15 year old Jeep that's never been in an accident and is garaged and kept clean and maintained and still running like top could have a failure as this! any assistance or direction you can provide is appreciated.

All four of the interior door handles have stress cracks and are broken. These door handles have not been abused or misused. This situation is a known defect by Jeep and are unwilling to fix it. This is a very unsafe condition for the occupants of the vehicle. All four doors need to be repaired.

July 26th 2010 is when I first purchased my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee and my back two doors were inoperable. No one could get out of the doors from the inside out. I drove around for a whole year before I got it replaced. The operation homefront replaced my rear doors for me with nothing coming out of my pockets. If it wasn't for ohf I would've came out of my pocket $1200 to fix just the rear doors. I needed them fixed because I have a child and that is a safety hazard if my child cannot get out of the vehicle. Jeep said there was not a recall on the door panels for this vehicle. Right now my driver side door panel is failing and I do not have the money to fix the door because it is so expensive to fix. Jeep needs to do a recall or someone is going to get hurt. My handle is separating form the door and soon I will not be able to get out of my driver side door.
