Broken interior door handles- they are chipping off around the handle causing the handles to fall inside the door and are unable to open the doors. On the drivers door, the plastic supporting the interior door handle has broken leaving the handle unmounted. It is not covered under warranty and they are approximately $400 to $500 a panel and every one of the handles in my vehicle are like this. This is an obvious safety hazard. I contacted Jeep at 1-800-521-9922 and filed a case and they have declined to help me in any way stating it is wear and tear. I have owned may vehicles and never have I ever had a problem with any other of the handles on my vehicles. I have a 1988 Ford truck that the door handles work fine and are not broken. This is an obvious defect on these vehicles and a recall should be done...especially since it is not just one door handle it is all of them. Thanks for your help.

Interior door handle drivers side door does not open door. The dealer tells me the whole door panel has to be replaced. Cost is $700 just for the panel. This is a problem that seems to happen to a lot of Jeep owners.

Three of the four (the 4th is shattered) door handles in my Jeep are cracked, ready to break anytime. The passenger side one is completely cracked and broken hanging on by a thread. I'm afraid soon I'm going to have to roll down the window just to get out of the Jeep. This is a safety hazard, I can only hope I'm not involved in an accident and that I won't be able to open the door due to this malfunction. I have noticed during my searches that there are hundreds of complaints with this issue, how can it be that there is no recall yet? please hear this outcry, I cannot afford to pay $500-$700 per door to get it fixed. I feel cheated by Jeep/Chrysler they must be held liable for this issue, we the customers have paid a lot of money for our vehicle. Please help!

I have a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 4 bad door handles. Interior doors the plastic frame around the handles is broken on all 4 doors, door handles become flimsy with no support causing a severe safety issue when trying to open a door. In an accident, fire, anytime the door needs opened, there is a possibility for failure when the handle breaks. It had already failed to open once. I am afraid to have my grandchildren ride in my car because if they needed to get out in a hurry, they could be stuck or worst killed. Dealer says no recall and $800 a panel to replace. Ridiculous. There are complaints and blogs all over the net for the same thing. When is someone going to make.

While driving a rented 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee on an interstate highway, the engine stopped running. I was able to steer the vehicle to the shoulder and restart the engine. I drove cautiously without further incidents. On the return trip on a state highway, the engine unexpectedly stopped. Again, I safely steered the vehicle to the shoulder and restarted the engine. This time, I realized that moving my right leg while driving, my right knee had hit the key and moved it to the "off" position. Both incidents did not result in an accident since the roadway was empty of other vehicles.
