We have owned our 1999 grand cherokee since 1999 - its been a great car but every single issue listed on this website has befallen us. Currently @ 149k miles we have no heat on the driver side due to blend door assembly, the airbag light goes off all the time and there is no heat in the drivers side seat. I am shocked that so many people have the exact same issues and that to me says there is truly something wrong.…

The blower to the heater and air conditioning went out. I have had it replaced 2 times in less than 3 years. Now its out again. It's difficult to drive in winter with no blower to a heater and difficult in summer with no blower to the air conditioning. A mechanic i went to said he has seen multiple jeeps with this same issue. He believes it may be the cable wires due to the nearness to the engine and they were not…

Heater a/c for 1999 jeep grand cherokee... Failure to operate, ridiculous to repair. Makes driving in cold climates impossible, due to window fogging and ice buildup. Daimler chrysler should recall and repair all jeeps from 1999-2004 who are all known to have this problem. They should not be allowed to disregard the customer complaints, with regards to this. This was repeated year after year, with no easy solution…

When i turned on the heat one fall day i got hot air on the driver side and cold air on the passenger side. It doesn't matter whether i select defrost, floor, or mid-level vents.also i had the temperature settings on high. I have not repaired this yet, it is a safety issue due to difficulty defrosting the windshield. The dealership said it will be very costly. It is not intermittent because it is always failed. *tr

The blend doors on my 1999 jeep grand cherokee limited have broken giving me no heat during the winter. I cannot afford to fix the problem as i do not have $1200.00 for fix it. This is a travesty and an indication of just why the american big three are in so much trouble. This vehicle is the worst vehicle that i have personally ever owned. *tr

Ac blend doors don't work causing my heat/ac to only work on have the car at a time. In the winter my defroster is only able to defrost half my windshield and the other side has ice cold air coming out the vent witch makes it unable to defrost and causes me to drive with half a defrosted windshield. So half the car gets heat the other half gets ac all winter long no matter what setting you put the system on, this…

When the heat is turned on in my 1999 jeep grand cherokee, cold air blows out of the passenger-side vents, freezing my passengers. I have read that this is a problem that all 1999-2004 grand cherokees have, and jeep should put out a recall. This is a very expensive repair! *tr

The contact stated the blower fan stopped working and he could not defrost his windshield. At that time, he could smell an electrical fire. The vehicle was taken to the dealership ,and they determined the wiring harness for the blower motor melted. He replaced the harness and the resister for the blower fan himself. *ak
