There is creaking from the dash seconds after shutting the engine off. Cold air blows from one side of the dash even when you have the heat turned on high. Dealer says this is the blend door problem. I already had this unit replaced at 70k miles and now it is failing again. Dealer states it is due to the design of using plastic parts that break. *tr

Air/ defroster won't blow out any air at all or will blow out hot air on one side of the jeep and cold air out the other side even though the settings are the same. This will happen on and off until it breaks totally. I have had mine fixed 3 times 12/29/06, 03/28/07, 06/08/09. You cannot defog/ defrost the windshield properly and keep it clear when you are driving. Each time the dealer replaced the faulty part…

In cold weather,while using the windshield defroster,the hot air needed to keep frost off windshield suddenly changes to cold air on its own. This is very aggravating, and poses a great danger in not keeping the windshield clear. This happens very frequently. The dealership can make a repair, but the cost is prohibitive. *tr

In addition, i called a dealership with the problem…

The event occurred as i was backing out of my driveway. My rear view mirror was out of view and i went to adjust it. I remembered the window motor on the drivers side had a short so i went to adjust it manually. As i put slight pressure on the mirror the whole thing folded back. I figured it was okay seeing as they were designed to fold back, but when i put them back in place, they did not stay. Now, as i drive down…
