I purchased my 02 jeep grand cherokee in 2004. In december of 2005, my heater went out. I had to replace a blend door. That was an $1,100 job. Now my air conditioning have went out with the same problem. I am looking at another $900 job. I have very loud noises coming from the panel when i shut off the engine. I am also 7 months pregnant and cannot afford this. *tr

I own a 2002 jeep gc limited, the passenger side vents only blows cold air, my mechanic had told me this is a very common and expensive problem, but that chrysler motors has not yet issued any kind of recall for this issue. He also told me that eventually the driver side will also fail, because the defective part is poorly made. *tr

Hvac system died, blend doors and recirc doors located under dash have failed, this is a common problem on this vehicle, $2000 to fix, chrysler should recall this problem as every grand cherokee experiences it. So until fixed no ventilation, notable defrost so windshield fogs up causing unsafe visibility. *tr

Air Conditioner · Fan/Motor
The heating/air conditioning system on 2002 grand cherokee was faulty. The vehicle has just over 65000 miles on it. I just had it repaired at a cost of over $1000 and it was still making noises that lead me to believe it will fail again. It wasnacceptable that a car company with as much experience as daimler chrysler could not design a quality heating / air conditioning system.*ak

My jeep grand cherokee has a bad ventilation system. This is a manufacturing defect which affects all jeep grand cherokee's manufactured with auto climate controls from 1999-2004. I have had to bring mine in for repair twice now, and it has once again failed. The levers in the ventilation ducts have plastic components which, over time, break down and crack causing cold-only or hot-only air to blow from the vents.…
