My '01 jeep grand cherokee's heater stopped working on the passenger side. It only blew in cold air. I brought it to my mechanic and it was a blend door failure. Leading up to it, i had noticed an odd sound coming from the hvac after i turned my engine off, but ignored it as it worked properly. The passenger side has now stopped working. Searching on the internet, there is apparently a tsb #24-001-04 concerning this…

I own a 2001 jeep grand cherokee limited with 87,000 miles. 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…

My 2001 jeep grand cherokee will not provide heat on the passenger side, only the driver's side. The vehicle also has some sort of electrical short and the entire system, including the radio will reset and start. In addition the fuel system is reluctant to pump fuel to the engine on a cold start. The dealerships advised me that the car is not built to last forever and the fuel issue and heating issue was typical.…

The 1999-2004 grand cherokee is built with blend doors to control the heater and ac function. The doors are controlled by a stepper motor that seeks an open and close setting every 20 times the jeep is started. The end points for open or closed are set by a plastic pin that is part of the plastic door assembly. When this pin breaks, the stop points become the open and closed position of the door. Eventually, the…

No heat on drivers side. Passenger side marginally blows air. This is a recurring problem with this vehicle--all years! Jeep must be fully aware of it since there are so many complaints and they have a "fix", but at a high cost to the consumer. I will never buy another chrysler product again. *tr

For several months i have been unable to defrost windows due to the common blend door problem with 99-04 jeep grand cherokees. I have gone to several dealerships to have an estimate and have been quote over 1000.00 on all occasions. Although i am without heat that is not my concern. It is the safety concern of not having the ability to defrost windows during extremely cold temperatures. I feel that this is huge…

The hvac system in my 2001 grand cherokee jeep has gone out on both the passenger side and the driver side of my vehicle. I feel there should have been a recall on this items from chrysler corp. I understand there has been a problem with this mid-case blend assembly for quite some time. Now it is going to cost over a $1000.00 to replace. I believe it should be seriously considered for recall because of the safety…

Windshield fogged up too quickly once last winter and i put the vehicle in a ditch at 5am in the middle of winter. Got a small cut over the right…

There was no heat on passenger side due to blend door failure. Therefore defrosting the windshield properly was not possible. This was followed shortly by a leaking heater core which filled the car with coolant mist during vehicle operation. The blend doors assemblies were replaced along with the heater core to solve the problems. *jb

When the weather started getting colder, i tried to use the heat and i couldn't get any hot air to defrost, when my windshield began to frost and fog. While driving home, i had to first pull over and wipe the interior of my windshield, then on my [redacted] home, i had to constantly wipe the interior of the windshield while driving. I took the jeep to the jeep/chrysler dealer and was quoted over $1500 for the…

When using heat during the fall/winter months in new hampshire, i can smell coolant from within the cabin. The windshield and windows are fogging really, really bad that causes visibility problems. This is a major safety issue. Sometimes heat comes out of the passenger side vents, sometimes it doesn't. Instead, cold air is blowing on the windshield. *nm

Driving to school one day and heat stopped working on driver side. Started to blow cold air instead. The consequences are that it is really cold when driving in the winter. I am a college student and don't have the money to fix the mid-case blend assembly and the air recirculation assembly. Repair shop cost is $900.00. *tr
