    Visibility : windshield defroster/defogger system is un-operable due to faulty "heater blend doors". This is a serious safety "hazard" due to fact you can not defrost the front windshield when necessary to see where you are going. *tr

    Blend door failed. Heat no longer came out on passenger side. Cold air instead. Cost $1500 to fix. Absurd for a 3 yr old auto (2003) with 40k miles. Jeep grand cherokee. I understand the blend door fails on almost all their 1999-2004 cars. *jb

    Blend door malfunction. On the passenger side of my jeep i always have cold, no matter how many times i try to change the temp to get the doors to adjust.

    Very unsafe malfunction of the "blend doors" in my 2003. Defroster only work on my driver's side. Dealer knows about it, says if you only have one malfunctioning, you might as well replace both blend doors because they know the parts are badly designed and will fail, says about $1600 - $1800 to fix it with redesigned parts! *jb

    Almost immediately after the warranty ran out, the passenger side of the automatic zone control stopped putting out heat, only cold. Then about 5000 miles later the entire vehicle stopped putting out heat altogether. This is a very dangerous safety issue due to the fact that there is no way to keep the windshield clear of ice and fog. This makes the vehicle unusable during half of the year. This is a well known,…
