Had the defroster on. Tried to turn the blower to the vent position while fan was off and nothing came out. The defroster still works and the fan seems to be blowing, but for some reason, no air from front(outward facing) part of dash board. Had some knowledge of failure in the automatic climate control version, but specifically found jeep with manual climate controls to avoid this problem. *tr

Failure of climate control "blend door mechanism. This has happened three times to this vehicle. When it fails, you cannot control the a/c or heat on each side of the vehicle. I repaired on both occasions at a cost of $900 and $700 respectively. The vehicle is now broken again, which will cost another $900-1200 to repair for the same issue. The dealership said this is very common in this model. Obviously a case of…

In april or may of this year, the driver-door window of our jeep slid into the body of the door on it's own--this was while the car was parked on the street. We were lucky to catch it before someone stole all of our items in the car. A repairman told us that the cable/regulator is broken and that it is very common with jeeps. We couldn't afford the $250-300 part, so we simply screwed the window in place,…

My 2004 jeep grand cherokee limited with the automatic climate control system, blows cold air out of the passenger side floor vents even when set to heat. This is a current and ongoing problem, it occurs whenever the heat is needed. Nothing has been done to remedy the problem, waiting for a recall. *tr

On a cold rainy night in up-state ny there was no heat in the car and the windows fogged up so bad that i had to stop due to the danger of not seeing the road. The failure is consistant and causes fogged windows and the auto can't be used during very cold weather. The blend doors were broken . *tr

2004 jeep grand cherokee limited. Blend doors are broken and dealer wants over 2200usd to repair. This should be a factory recall. The ordinary working class person cannot afford this repair. Because the blend doors do not open, you cannot get heat or ac. Consequently, there is no defrost, making driving extremely dangerous.

Heater sporadically works (blows cold air and defroster doesn't work) in my 2004 grand jeep cherokee overland. Problem usually self corrects after several hours of driving. Dealer states it is likely a blender door problem, but will not fix under my bumper to bumper extended chrysler warranty until the problem presents itself in the dealers possession. So far, they claim it has not presented itself despite several…

Blend doors broken on passenger side so no heat comes from dash. No use of defroster on passenger side.. This cant be good for the windshield with hot and cold air blowing on it. Repair costs are ridiculous for a factory problem that many people seem to have. *tr

Visibility: defroster/defogger system:windshield:blower passenger side ac doesn't blow as well (as hard as) the driver side vent, and the air that does come out is hot. It's the opposite in the winter when the heat is on. Passenger side only minimal blowing and the air is very cold???? Also affects the defrost on the passenger side. No warm air on passenger side, window will not defrost causing visibility…

Several 1999-2004 jeep grand cherokees that i have owned (i have had 4) had their blender doors malfunction. This results in a $1600 fee to have the heat/cooling vents repaired so you can get ac or heat. It is a chronic jeep problem that deserves a recall as it happens to everyone's jeeps it seems. I have a current 2004 model where all three separate blender doors are broken resulting in no heat or cooling. *tr

During winter months, heat shuts off and turns cold. This happened during a snowstorm and i could not defrost the windshield. I consider this a serious safety issue. I had to stop engine, wait 5 minutes and start engine again. This has happened every time the car is driven. In the summer months, the reverse happens. Suddenly, the air conditioner suddenly throws out hot air. *tr

Normal operation of heating/cooling system. Now, after 28,000 miles, temperature will suddenly change in the cabin of the vehicle. The heat will suddenly cease and the visibility will be lost out the windshield. I believe it may have something to do with "blend door". When the windshield frosts up, we have to pull over and turn car off and wait for system to reset. Very dangerous, not safe, dealership estimates…
