Wife and son required to find alternate vehicle. The right hand side of heater on 2001 jeep grand cherokee limited failed. No defrost to clear windows and frigid air being blown onto passenger. I would like to have you investigate the (i believe unconscionable) number of complaints of the failure of the "blend doors" on 1999 to 2004 jeeps. It is a design failure that is the result of a piece of plastic breaking in…

Heat only works on driver side. Cold air from passenger side. My mechanic the a/c blend door is probably stuck. I have been told they would have to pull the dash to fix the problem. A year ago the heater core was replaced requiring the need to pull the dash. The labor for that alone was $900. My mechanic told me that both of these problems have service bulletins issued for the jeep & the dodge durango. I believe the…

The failure of the blender motor has left our jeep without a windshield defroster/defogger. It only blows cold air and does not clear leaving visibility at zero. It doesn't work at all and now it is dangerous for myself and family to drive in our "family car". Nothing has been done to correct the problem because the dealership said it would be an $800-$1500 repair not covered by extended warranty that we purchased.…

My 2001 jeep grand cherokee blows only cold air on drivers side. Currently we are in below freezing conditions in montana. Apparently, after looking this up on the internet, this is a common problem with this vehicle, for which the jeep dealer will charge upwards of a thousand dollars. From my research this is a very common failure in wj jeeps. Since my teeth were chattering, and body shaking, i would say i was…

The blend doors on my jeep do not work. This is an extremely wide spread problem for jeep grand cherokee's. Both a dealer mechanic, and an independent mechanic have told me the that almost all grand cherokees will experience this problem. There should be a recall issued - it is simply a design flaw. Unfortunately, there is no specific complaint choice on this form for heating, so people are classifying this as…

My 2001 jeep grand cherokee has the hvac blend door problem. It blows nothing but cold air and i could not defrost or see out of the windshield while driving. I am sure this will result in death, injury, or property damage, as i do not have the $1500.00 to repair and winter is here. A safety recall needs to be put into effect on these vehicles. *tr
