Hvac doesn't change temperature. Blender doors are broken. Found out it's a common problem in 99-04 jeep grand cherokees and they've updated the parts to replace. Problem is, labor costs around $1500 to fix the hvac. There should be a recall for this as i can't drive in the winter without heat, won't be able to see while driving without a defroster!!! *tr

The climate automatic climate control system has failed. One side blows cold air and the other warm air. The defrosters are ineffective, making it difficult to see when the windshield fogs up not to mention keeping the windshield deiced in bad driving conditions. Chrysler says the instrument panel must be removed in order to remove the heater assembly and fix the recirculation door and other components. They want…

In just the last month we have lost heat completely in our jeep. It start blowing out cold air on the driver side and now is blowing cold air on the driver side and passenger side as well as the defrosting vents all the time. We have no heat at all. We have not tried to repair it yet as it going to be costly. *tr

I own a 99 jeep grand cherokee limited, and as i have come to find out my problem is all too common. In the middle of a freezing nebraska winter the heat stopped working! Not only is did my heater core go out, the apparently the "blend door" is also not functioning correctly. The combination of problems is likely to cost well over a thousand dollars to fix! After researching and finding out how common this problem…

Heat and air worked fine. In october on a cold night i decided to use my heat and it blew cold air! This happens everytime i go to use my heat. It doesn't matter which vent it is blowing from the heat comes out cold. Has not fixed yet due to repair costs equaling over $1000.00 and i cannot afford that at the time. Guess i will just have to drive around in -8 temperatures with ice on the inside of my…

My 1999 jeep grand cherokee limited's heater control unit has become faulty. The heat does not work on any setting, and outside cold air comes into the cabin with zero control. This is making visibility very poor due to lack of defrosting the front windshield. I brought it to the dealer, and they informed me that it was due to a poor "design" from the factory. They told me that it was going to cost $1,766.00 plus…

I noticed that my air flow through the a/c and heater was not working - no air flow. It seems permanent - no air flow. I can hear the fan, but no flow of air - no matter what setting (defrost, floor, front side). What is worse, when my windshield fogs up, i have no visibility due to no windshield blower flow. I have not fixed it since it seems to be a widespread problem inherent with the jeep design, and i believe…

I have a 99 grand cherokee and all of a sudden one day last march. The passenger side air started to blow out cold air and the driver side was blowing out cold. The temperature was both on 80. Now this winter. You can not get the heat to switch from the front vents to the floor or defrost. *tr

Blend doors on my 1999 jeep grand cherokee failed, making it impossible to see in most weather (instant fogged windshield w/no way to defog) and blowing cold air instead of hot. This cost over $1000 to fix, as removal and replacement of the doors is very time-consuming (whole dash must be removed). *tr

I ran into what i thought was a simple heating problem with my 1999 grand cherokee. One day while driving down the road, my car simply stopped blowing hot air. After going to the dealership and spending nearly $600 to have some sort of solenoid replaced, i realize after pulling out of the lot that only my passenger side will blow hot air. I called the dealership back, and they told me that it was a problem with the…

I called jeep and they know that there are problems but said they have not been told to recall. This is a safety issue the window fogs up and you can not see while driving! *tr

The heating / cooling system in my 1999 jeep grand cherokee limited stopped working. Now it currently only blows hot air from one vent (driver's side, mid-level). Every other vent in the vehicle blows only cold air. The air conditioning system does not work whatsoever. Neither of the temperature control switches work (for passenger / driver side). I have read on the internet that this seems to be quite a problem for…

I have a 1999 jeep grand cherokee and i noticed that my a/c blows mildly cold air. I recharged it thinking that it needed freon but that wasn't the case. This winter i noticed that my heat was not as hot as it should be. New england winters can get into the single digits and the lack of heat can make it almost impossible to defrost the windshield, making visibility very poor. After doing research on the web, i found…
