I own a 02 jeep grand cherokee limited. First it started off with only hot air on my drivers side and freezing cold air on my passenger side, now its just cold all around. I took the car to the dealership and they said its a problem with the blend door system and it would cost over 1000 dollars to fix. When i looked online to find a quick fix for the problem i learned there are thousands of people with the same…

In the fall of 2008, my son and my wife exited the front of the vehicle and closed their doors. Within a second or two, both of them heard a bang but saw nothing wrong, as they were both at the front of the vehicle and unable to see their side windows. After returning to the vehicle, my son noticed his window was not up as he had left it. He was unable to raise the window normally so a cold trip home followed. A…

Front driver side window went down and was covered under warranty. Now all three remaining windows are down. All three went within the same month. This is obviously a factory defective problem and very expensive. Chrysler should recall and cover this issue at their expense. *tr

I was getting ready to go to work. It was cold and i needed to turn on the heat. I turned the heat on and all i got was cold air, the entire 30 miles that it takes for me to get to work. Took it to the dealership and they told me that it was my blend doors and that it would cost $1500. *tr

My 2002 grand cherokee suddenly has no heat. The defroster works randomly and sometimes shuts down only blowing cold, outside air causing the window to fog up with no warning. After researching this issue online there are thousands of complaints about this, the dealer fix is to take off the dash ($1000+ in labor) to fix a $20 part. There are parts available online to do the fix yourself for $100. Seems to me that…

2002 jeep grand cherokee. Blower controller connector is overheating and melting connector and now not working. Replacement with new connector is possible from dealer with morpar repair kit #05102406aa . However... This does not fix the problem as it will happen again and again. This is due to strain on the blower motor drawing high amps because the common problem with this jeep is with the ac "blend doors" which…

Two years ago my passenger side heat stop working. When i took it to the dealer, they stated that it was not cover by any warranty and it would cost $1500.00 to repair. So the put tape over those vents and only had the driver side working. Last may my driver side stop blowing hot air also. Took back to the dealer, guess what it will cost $1200.00. I'm tried of this, jeep should have a recall! *tr

While driving home last year i rolled my driver side window up and heard a loud bang. I at first thought that someone had hit my vehicle with a large rock but then the window dropped down into the door. When i got home, i went online and found quite a few complaints about the window regulators failing in chrysler grand cherokees and the fact that chrysler is aware of the issue but refuses to cover the repair. I also…

Cold air blowing from passenger side vents and windshield defroster regardless of control or temp settings. Driver side temp adjustments work properly, but passenger side and windshield defroster controls do not provide any heat. Windshield does not defrost, as temp mix is not functioning for passenger vents or for windshield defroster. Problem has not been resolved. *tr

Heater/ac blend doors have detached from the shaft attached to the electric motor. The doors circulate conditioned air to the cab and are responsible for defrosting the windshield. The windshield no longer defrosts causing visibility issues during the winter months. *tr

Today while driving my 2002 jeep grand cherokee overland, the heater stopped sending warm air to the driverside defroster and heat outlets (has dual zone controls). I suspected it was a problem with the "flow doors" which control the amount of warm air to enter the passenger cabin. Upon researching the problem on the internet, it appears this is an identified defect affecting many jeep grand cherokee owners. The…

I own a 2002 jeep grand cherokee limited with 84,400 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…

2002 grand cherokee dual climate control lost heat in both zones. *ts the consumer stated the problem was due to the weak blend and recirculation doors in the hvac system. The doors are turned by a motor attached to the bottom of the door at the end of a hinge shaft. The motor stops turning when there is enough physical resistance from the door stopping against its housing. This puts stress on the shaft/door…

In the fall of 2006, the heat in my 2002 jeep grand cherokee stopped working. I did some online research and this problem was so common that i easily found plenty of people with the exact same problem that were able to self-diagnose the problem using the jeep's internal computer to output the system faults. Using the same method to enter the azc self-diagnostic mode, the climate control display outputted the system…
