    The blend doors have failed 2x. This is extremely dangerous as i no longer have defrost on the front windshield. This costs over $1000 to fix. The blend doors have flaps to control the hot and cold air for the hvac. Mine was stuck on cold, and there is no way to defrost my car. I can not afford another $1000. *nm

    1) no sign of failure, just happened out of no where 2)no heat from passenger side of vehicle at all, no floor heat, no front vent heat, and most importantly, no windshield defrost heat, causing a lot of fog and poor visibility during these cold months... 3)have not done anything to fix issue, cost of replacement parts and labor is $2000, down time of vehicle is 2 days to fix...a lot of work for a novice like…

    The blower motor on my jeep grand cherokee limited failed due to a problem with doors in the heating/cooling system. The repair will cost $ 900 - 1,200.00 to repair. There was heat. There was cooling. There was no blowing to send that air into the vehicle compartment. Defrosting of windows was slow.the condensation evaporated only after the air moved itself. I can only switch to "defrost", a minimal assist in the…

    Heater does not work on the drivers side, cost to fix is ridiculous and i cannot believe that something this expensive happens so often on this vehicle. I have read dozens of accounts from other wj jeep owners having this problem! *nm

    Air Conditioner · Defroster/Defogger/Hvac System

    I own a 2000 jeep grand cherokee limited. The events leading up to the failure of the ventilation system were (1) rapid fogging of front windshield,(2) fogging of front passenger windows,(3) failure of passenger heat while still maintaining driver heat function, and (4) only cold air release on passenger side of jeep. Consequently,(1) the windshield and front windows do not defog, and (2) no heat whatsoever comes…

    Dt*: the contact stated the ventilation would not operate on the driver's side disallowing the defroster, heater and air conditioning to operate properly. The vehicle was taken to the service dealer who determined the heater box needed to be replaced to correct the ventilation issue.

    Defroster/Defogger/Hvac System

    The ventilation system in my 2000 jeep grand cherokee stopped working completely. It worked for about a year after i bought it and then stopped. Now it just blows out cold air even when i have the heat on. I can't afford to have it fixed and i can't fix it my self. It is a constant nuisance. I live in the mountains where it is freezing and i have to drive to work in a freezing car. My defroster doesn't even work!…

    I am writing to express my frustration and anger regarding my 2000 grand cherokee. Since this past october, i have experienced a myriad of problems which include the following: 1. A broken ventilation deflector which prevents any air from coming through the ventilation. I spent nearly $100.00 to find out that it is a $37.00 part with $500.00 in labor just to install it. I have children in the car, and the summer…

    Ventilation system becagn to act irregular and then did not work at all. Defrost as well as other vent uses were of no use to the driver during the winter/cold weather here. The dealer tech told me it was a resistor theat melted the harness. Tech said he never saw anything like this. They needed to order the parts to fix, meanwhile i am waiting to speak with the salesperson who sold my family this vehicle.*ak
