PASSENGER REAR DOOR HANDLE BROKEN OFF DUE TO CHEAP, DEFECTIVE PLASTIC THE DOOR PANEL IS MADE OF. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, ALL 3 OF THE OTHER DOORS HAVE THE SAME CRACKS IN THE DOOR PANEL - IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE PLASTIC ON THOSE CRACKS AND CHIPS OFF, AND THOSE DOOR HANDLES ALSO BREAK OFF. YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE ONCE THE HANDLES BREAK OFF - THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DOORS. THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF WEAR AND TEAR ON A VEHICLE THAT HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES WHEN WE PURCHASED IT. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WHERE BROKEN DOOR HANDLES ARE CONSIDERED NORMAL "WEAR AND TEAR". THE COST OF REPAIR IS $600-$700 PER DOOR PANEL - CHYRSLER NEEDS TO OWN THE FACT THAT THESE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND COVER THE COST FOR THEIR OWNERS. THERE ARE MANY, MANY POSTS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS ISSUE FROM HUNDREDS OF JEEP OWNERS - IT IS INEXCUSABLE.

MY SON HAD HIS JEEP IN DRIVE, SITTING ON AN INCLINE WAITING TO EXIT A PARKING LOT. WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO MOVE FORWARD THE CAR HAD GONE INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN AND HE ROLLED BACK INTO THE VEHICLE BEHIND HIM. HE HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT OFF, START IT AGAIN, AND PUT IT IN DRIVE BEFORE IT WOULD GO FORWARD. THIS INCIDENT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER OF THE CAR BEHIND HIM. I TOOK THE JEEP TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY THEIR TECHNICIAN THAT THE N23 RECALL HAD NEVER BEEN PERFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE. IT HAD BEEN TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER TO PERFORM THE RECALL BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER BEFORE I PURCHASED IT AND THAT DEALER INCORRECTLY REPORTED THAT THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL AT THAT TIME. THIS RECALL WAS REQUIRED TO KEEP A CAR FROM SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT INPUT FROM THE DRIVER. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR IN FEBRUARY AND CHECKED FOR ANY OPEN RECALLS BEFORE PURCHASING. JEEP WAS FRAUDULENT WHEN REPORTING THIS RECALL AS COMPLETED AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE INCURRED. JEEP DID HAVE MY VEHICLE INSPECTED, AND I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THEM NUMEROUS TIMES BUT STILL HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY THEM ABOUT THIS INSPECTION. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HOW MANY OTHER GRAND CHEROKEES OWNERS ARE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLES THINKING THE RECALL HAD BEEN PERFORMED AND IN FACT IT HAS NOT. *TR
