Door panel lifting away could cause vent to not work, door lock to not work and maybe airbag to not deploy properly. Foam is exposed

Interior door panels are peeling apart, causing the inside of the door to be shown. This looks to be a manufacturing issue. The remedy should be to repair the panels or replace them. This is a known issue within the community of owners so I feel that this should be recalled. The problem is present on all 4 door panels.

Inside door panels started to separate from the door, this is causing my power locks malfunction on the driver side (the separation is causing a lock button to misalign with the hole in the door panel). This started approximately 2 weeks ago. This problem started with the driver side door and has now affected 3 of the for doors in the car. Of course it happened about 4 months past the 3 year Dodge warranty period.

This at about 5:30 am when I was getting in my car to go to work I noticed the panel on my driver side door was beginning to lift up.my car is rarely parked in the sun light because I park it in my garage at home and a shaded area at work.

Interior, I believe the sun or heat warps the door trim inside and it pops out revealing the inside of the door, near the windows. It's happened to my passenger door and recently to my driver door.

The contact owns a 2018 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the inner door panel detached from the door frame. The contact was concerned that a child may stick their fingers in between the door panel and the door frame and hurt themselves. The dealer was not called. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Went to get in the vehicle one morning and the door handle on the driver side will not open from the outside but will open from the inside, I believe the screw had come out, and went to get in the vehicle this morning and notice the panel on the passenger side door panel peel up from the top of the door where the lock is.

My daughter could not get the car to stop, as she was engaging the break to the floor. She is unsure if when she turned cruise control was set, but either way the brake should have turned it off. Then when the pole was hit, all the airbags went off except the passenger lower airbag. I was the passenger and I have a hurt ankle, knee, and hip. Why would all airbags go off except one if the impact was directly in the front of the car? the vehicle was turning when she noticed it would not slow down.

While driving on a freeway doing about 65 mph, the sunroof spontaneously shattered upward, as if it was hit from the inside, sending glass flying down the back of the car hitting other vehicles behind me. Thankfully the internal sunroof cover was closed so glass didn't rain down on us when this happened. I had to pull over on the side of the freeway and clean up as much of the glass as possible so it wouldn't continue flying off and hitting vehicles behind me. Definitely a safety concern, even though it's tempered glass, it's still sharp. If the internal sunroof cover was slid open it would have been much worse than the few cuts I got on my hands from cleaning up the glass.

This is a rental and I have been driving this car for about 6. in the afternoon of day 6, I went to get into the car and the door handle made a funny clicking sound and would not open the door. It is attached but feels like someone is unhooked inside the door because it seems to lift up higher than it should. Door opens from the inside with no problem.
