Defroster/Defogger/Hvac System
I have a 1999 jeep grand cherokee, and the passenger side blows hot air even when the temperature of the dual climate control is set lower than the driver. I have read in forums and many other jeep owners have the same problem. *nm

Defroster/Defogger/Hvac System
Cold air blows from one side of the dash even when you have the heat turned on making defroster inoperable in the cold. This is extremely dangerous in the cold. Dashboard has loud creaking sound coming from its underside when ventilation is turned and creaking from the dash seconds after shutting the engine off. These jeeps are known to have this severe safety issue. *nm

Defroster/Defogger/Hvac System
Blend \ actuator doors are "stuck" open on the passenger side. That's outside air coming in all the time through the defroster, dash vents, foot wells and the rear passenger side foot area. Tough in the winter! Had the problem while under warranty, but dealer said they couldn't find anything wrong. Now, 2 years later, they say it's the blend doors and maybe the evaporator unit also. They quoted $1700. To pull the…

I am an owner of a 1999 jeep grand cherokee limited v8. I have encountered many problems with this vehicle but some have already been resolved under manufacturer's warranty. A couple problems still exist though. One main problem is that my vehicle occasionally stalls out on me at red lights. It idles very slow (@400 rpm) and this is usually when the vehicle fails on me. I'll lose power to the transmission, but all…

Transmission was replaced. On board panic…
