2002 jeep grand cherokee - broken "heater blend doors". Internal failure resulted in approx. $850 repair. Research has shown that this is a common failure for this model jeep. Four dealerships told me that this "happens to all 99-04 cherokees" and that jeep has not been willing to issue a recall. *jb

Heater no longer working.. Dealer found to be "faulty blend door" and "recir door". The issue causes windows to fog making it difficult to see while driving. I was quoted $1200-1600 to have repaired at dealer.. It's too expensive as i'm on a very limited budget... But very concerned about the safety of this vehicle*jb

The defroster/defogger system has failed preventing warm air from circulating to the defrost ducts making it un-safe and in-operable to drive this vehicle in weather that would require the defroster/defogger system. Nm

Blend door on my 2002 jeep grand cherokee limited initially stopped at that point and only blows cold air to the passenger. Now a year later i have no heat at all. Disappointed for sure and from the numbers of people with this problem, seems to be defective from the start. A recall should be called. 1500-1800 to fix on a car with less that 43,000 miles, give me a break, no wonder more people are buying japanese. *jb

The blend doors on my 2002 jeep grand cherokee with automatic climate control have failed. First the passenger side blend door failed and would only blow cold air, while the drivers could blow warm air. Now the drivers side blend door has failed as well and will only blow cold air. It costs over $1000 at the jeep dealership to repair a blend door since it requires complete removal of the dash assembly. The jeep…

I own a 2002 jeep grand cherokee overland with 60,000 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 and driver heat function, and (4) only cold air release on both sides of jeep. Consequently,(1) the windshield and front windows do not defog, and (2) no heat whatsoever comes from…

The hvac system in my 2002 jeep grand cherokee became inoperative due to poor quality blend doors. This led to no airflow from the system and unsafe operation of the vehicle due to no defrost/defog capability and subsequent loss of visibility out of the vehicle. *jb
