    Visibility: defroster/defogger system:windshield:blower cold air blowing from my vents uncontrollably from passenger side. Loud creaking sound coming from underside of ventilation? Creaking from the dash seconds after shutting the engine off? As a result the defrosters on a car do not work. [xxx]at jerry toyota said he fixed it when i brought it in jan. However, it broke a week later. He has refused to get it fix.…

    Heater, defroster, a/c, vents all stopped working twice! On my 2004 jeep grand cherokee. The blend doors would break and stick, thus producing no heat, a/c..nothing! This is very dangerous and extremely costly 1200-1800 each time it has to be fixed. The whole dashboard needs to be removed, the coolant drained and refilled, heater removed, a/c drained and refilled, it is an all day fix for a repair shop who is fluent…

    The blender doors on my 2004 jeep grand cherokee's ventilation system failed without warning. I can only get air flow from the windshield defroster vent. This makes if difficult to warm up the vehicle in the winter. According to my research on the web, this type of failure is ridiculously common on this jeep model. I have scheduled an appointment to get the problem fixed, but my dealer has already warned me that the…

    I have a 2004 jeep grand cherokee and the passenger side heater output went to 'full cold'. Took to dealer and was told 'hvac door replacement' was necessary at about $1200.00 cost to me. Apparently a pin had broken off where the actuator attaches to the heater door. Entire dash assembly had to be removed, also air conditioner gas had to removed and replaced. *tr

    Research has shown all 1999-2004 jeep grand cherokees with electronic dual climate controls will eventually require major repair in order to cure hot air/cold air blowing from vents when they're not set to do so. The cost to repair this issue, which has been known to pop up again after another 50k miles after repair, is generally $800-$1500 from a dealership. Should you opt to do this repair yourself, the entire…

    In 2006, the heat on the passenger side of my 2004 jeep grand cherokee quit working. This year, 2007, there is no heat on either side, just blows air. The repair shop wants over $1,000 to fix the blend doors. I researched this on the internet, and there are numerous people with the same problem with their jeeps. *tr

    Blend door failure. No heat on driver's side living in a very cold climate. $800-$1500 to fix for a vehicle that is only 3 years old. It should be a recall because of the fact it is a common problem with these jeeps.

    I own a 2004 jeep grand cherokee limited with 66,000 miles. In august 2006, the ac quit functioning when air temperatures exceeded 85f. After a recalibrating, everything seemed fine. But when the temperature dropped the passenger heat failed while the drivers side continued to function. The dealership replaced the "blend air assembly" per the tsb - at my expense. Didn't fix the problem so they recalibrated the…
