The a/c system does not produce air at the temp that is selected, and most of the time will blow hot on one side…

2004 jeep grand cherokee, 4.0 litre engine, [redacted]. Defroster/heater blender door gets stuck. Only blows air from the defrost vent. Very bad when you are trying to air condition the vehicle and you live in the desert as i do. Happens a couple times a week. Nothing to do but let it go. It usually goes back to normal cooling after about 2 hours or so. *tr

The heater in my 2004 jeep grand cherokee has stopped working. Turns out this is a very common problem with grand cherokees. The blend doors break because of defective plastic stop pins. Daimer chrysler now wants to charge over $1,200 to repair this issue, even though it clearly is a manufacturer defect.*cn

I do not know what caused the problem, but the blend air door on my 2004 jeep cherokee is broken and only blows cold air. The air does defrost the window or heat the cabin. This could lead to a driving problem if the windows fog up while driving. *tr

Climate control started blowing nothing but cold air out the passenger side vents. Not warning preceded the failure. I just got a complaint from a passenger that they were freezing one day. Research lead me to find it is a poorly designed blend door in the hvac system of wj grand cherokees. A quote of over $1000 to fix a cardboard part! *tr
