Blend doors broke for no reason causing the vehicle to blow only cold air. Heater doesn't work and what's required is having to rip the dash out and replace the blend doors. *tr

Very unsafe malfunction of the "blend doors" in my heater mechanism. My father's 2003 has the same problem. Heat and defrost air only comes out one side, can't see out all the windshield!!! Dealer knows about the problem, says if you only have one bad one, might as well replace them both with the new redesigned parts for $1600 - $1800. Help! *jb

The a/c heat blend doors on my 1999 jeep grand cherokee ltd. With only 61,000 miles have failed and the system only blows cold air. This is very dangerous in winter driving conditions and as i read online it happened to almost 100% of these vehicles after they pass 50k miles. My father has a 2001 and has had the exact same issue. The repair is $1,800 and even the dealership told me it happens to all models 1999…

Climate control unit faulty, "common" fault with this vehicle make / type, climate control unit unable to maintain temperature, blows cold when it shouldn't be, i am informed it is a fault with the blend doors, and to repair is very very costly as the whole dashboard has to be removed, parts are available but cost of repair is very expensive. *jb

All of the sudden there was no air blowing out of the inside vents, i took it to my mechanic who explained that the blower quit working and the left side heater quit working as well. My mechanic fixed the blower because it was easily accessible and charged me $200 to fix it but not the heater because he explained he will have to remove the whole front dash and will cost a labor a about $500. I contacted the jeep…

The climate control on my 1999 jeep grand cherokee will randomly create loud creaking and crunching noises from under the dash and will cause a sudden drastic temperature change. This causes the defroster not to operate correctly and the windows to instantly fog up. This first occurred in october of 2005 and has happened over a dozen times reducing my visibility sometimes to nothing at all. The dealer cannot find…

My vehicle has the exact same problem as another vehicle manufactured by the same company (daimler chrysler), that vehicle is a 2002 dodge ram, the nhtsa campaign id number is 03v078000. On my vehicle the connection for the blower motor controller is undersized, with heat from the electrical current the connector loosens and causes the blower motor to cut out, it also causes melting to the blower motor controller…

1999 jeep grand cherokee limited heater doesn't work. No heat on either side whatsoever. 116k miles and from the way the seller is responding to my query about it is that its been that way for a while now. Have heard that possibly the control module(relay) melts as well which is a reason as to why i smell a faint burnt plastic smell when i turn the air on whether it be heater or a/c it smells. *tr

The automatic hvac system on my jeep grand cherokee has broken. The "blend doors" that control hot vs. Cold air do not function properly. As a result, cold air is blown when hot air is required. This is a known issue that thousands of owners are experiencing on their wj limiteds and overland editions. This can create a dangerous situation by not blowing hot air required to defog the windshield. The issue only occurs…
