While closing door noticed that door was unattached from frame or body of vehicle, causing door to hang off, unable to close. Hinge became loose without any knowledge and soon became completely unattached from the frame, consumer had to manually lift door into latch and lock it to close the door, Chrysler claimed no responsibility, consumer heard from other repair shops that this was a frequent problem.

Panels on the inside of the door kept coming apart. Each time door was opened the panels came down, causing the foam to be exposed. Child pulled foam out & stuffed it in his mouth. Front panels on the doors were repaired. However, rear doors panels are currently having the same problem as the front. Contacted manufacturer & informed consumer nothing could be done, but knew of problem.
