Visibility: defroster/defogger system:windshield:blower loss of half of the heater control and ability to regulate the temperature. After phone calls to repair shops, i was told to expect the rest of it to stop working if not corrected soon, as this is a 'common" problem with 1999-2004 grand cherokees. Estimates were in excess of $1,000.00. Loosing the ability to regulate the temperature to defrost windows in…

Cold air started to come out of heater vents on driver's side even though heater was set on heat. This happened on a journey in a ice storm. Wind shield could not be cleared and a dangerous level of visibility caused me to stop driving. I was told be a mechanic that the heater blend doors had failed (broken) and that this is a very common problem with the jeep grand cherokee 02-04 model year. This is potentially a…

Visibility:deroster/defogger system:windshield:blower factory defect in the blend door. No heat coming out on the passenger side, only cold air. Have lost visibility of entire passenger side wind shield during winter conditions. Very dangerous, almost got in an accident because i couldn't see since the windshield froze up and i didn't have warm air coming out of the passenger defrost. *tr

The passenger side of my jeep was blowing cold air. I took my jeep to the dealer and was told that the temp door and fresh air doors were broken. He also stated that this was a common problem with my jeep. Also, the drivers side heated seat was very hot when it was on the low setting. They found that the heater grid had a short in the circuit. The sum of all repairs was $954.60. *tr

My 2003 jeep grand cherokee with electronic dual climate controls and 66,000 miles will only blow cold air. Both blend doors are stuck on full-cold. The fault severely limits my ability to defrost/defog my windshield. According to industry experts i've talked to, the fault is common to all 1999-2004 jeep grand cherokees. The repairs are exorbitant; estimated at $1,600 to $1,800. *tr

I put the heat on in my 2003 jeep grand cherokee only to find cold air blowing from every passenger side vent (the floor, the dash, & the defrost). I called 2 jeep dealerships regarding the problem and they both informed me that it is a blend door issue which will cost $1000 to $1400 in order to fix. After searching the internet, i've found that many other people have run into the same exact situation. *tr

I am experiencing the same "door blend" malfunction that thousands of others are experiencing. One day the substandard vent door for the passenger side climate control broke, and since then only cold air blows from those vents as well as the windshield defroster. The defroster worries me the most as without a clear windshield my vision is thus impaired and could potentially lead to a deadly accident. I have spoke to…

2003 jeep grand cherokee limited - no heat on driver's side - passenger side heat is still working. I checked the codes for this problem and it seems to be related to the "blend doors" located in the heating/cooling vehicle ductwork. I also did a great deal of checking via the internet to see if there were other jeep owners having this same problem. To my surprise, i found that there were a great many other jeep…

Passenger side air vents of my 2003 jeep grand cherokee started to blow cold air when the heat was on starting in 3/2006. This caused problems with my windshield defrosting with the heat only working on one side. Dealer refused to cover problem ("door actuator") under warranty and told me it would cost $800.00 to fix. I didn't even own the vehicle for a month, this vehicle was sold to me with faulty heat. Now on…
