1999 Jeep Cherokee Wipers & Visibility Problems

DEFROSTER DOES NOT CLEAR WINDSHIELD, BLOWER WORSENS FOG. AFTER BRIEF USE OF VEHICLE CONDENSATION BUILDS ON PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDSHIELD AND PROHIBITS CLEAR VISION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAN IN THE VENTILATION SYSTEM FAILED TO RUN AT A HIGH SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT A BLOWER MOTOR RESISTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED WAS NO LONGER MANUFACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

THE BLOWER TO THE HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT. I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED 2 TIMES IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS. NOW ITS OUT AGAIN. IT'S DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IN WINTER WITH NO BLOWER TO A HEATER AND DIFFICULT IN SUMMER WITH NO BLOWER TO THE AIR CONDITIONING. A MECHANIC I WENT TO SAID HE HAS SEEN MULTIPLE JEEPS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. HE BELIEVES IT MAY BE THE CABLE WIRES DUE TO THE NEARNESS TO THE ENGINE AND THEY WERE NOT BIG ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE HEAT. IS THIS TRUE? HE ALSO THOUGHT JEEP WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. IF SO, HOW DO I GET THIS FIXED SO IT WORKS PROPERLY AND NOT GO OUT EVERY YEAR? EVERY ONCE IN A "BLUE MOON" THE BLOWER WILL COME ON FOR A COUPLE SECONDS BUT WILL NOT STAY ON. *TR

WE HAVE OWNED OUR 1999 GRAND CHEROKEE SINCE 1999 - ITS BEEN A GREAT CAR BUT EVERY SINGLE ISSUE LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE HAS BEFALLEN US. CURRENTLY @ 149K MILES WE HAVE NO HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE DUE TO BLEND DOOR ASSEMBLY, THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF ALL THE TIME AND THERE IS NO HEAT IN THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT. I AM SHOCKED THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AND THAT TO ME SAYS THERE IS TRULY SOMETHING WRONG. WE ALSO TOOK PART IN A CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT COVERED SOME OF THE EXPENSES WE HAD IN CONTINUALLY REPLACING THE BRAKES - ESPECIALLY THE ROTORS WHICH WARP WITH OUT NOTICE AND CAN DO THAT IF YOU JUST STEP ON THE BRAKES TO HARD! EVEN IF YOU HAVE JUST HAD THEM REPLACED. CHEAP PARTS? I AM A DIE HARD JEEP OWNER BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THESE POSTINGS I AM WONDERING IF MY ALLIANCE SHOULD BE ELSEWHERE? *TR

THE BLEND DOORS ON THE DUAL HEATER SYSTEM HAVE FAILED AND THERE IS NO HEAT OR AC TO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. *TR

THE CLIMATE AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM HAS FAILED. ONE SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR AND THE OTHER WARM AIR. THE DEFROSTERS ARE INEFFECTIVE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP NOT TO MENTION KEEPING THE WINDSHIELD DEICED IN BAD DRIVING CONDITIONS. CHRYSLER SAYS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MUST BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE HEATER ASSEMBLY AND FIX THE RECIRCULATION DOOR AND OTHER COMPONENTS. THEY WANT $1200 TO FIX THE HEATER! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! *TR

HVAC DOESN'T CHANGE TEMPERATURE. BLENDER DOORS ARE BROKEN. FOUND OUT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM IN 99-04 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND THEY'VE UPDATED THE PARTS TO REPLACE. PROBLEM IS, LABOR COSTS AROUND $1500 TO FIX THE HVAC. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS AS I CAN'T DRIVE IN THE WINTER WITHOUT HEAT, WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT A DEFROSTER!!! *TR

HEATER A/C FOR 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE... FAILURE TO OPERATE, RIDICULOUS TO REPAIR. MAKES DRIVING IN COLD CLIMATES IMPOSSIBLE, DUE TO WINDOW FOGGING AND ICE BUILDUP. DAIMLER CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL AND REPAIR ALL JEEPS FROM 1999-2004 WHO ARE ALL KNOWN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DISREGARD THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS, WITH REGARDS TO THIS. THIS WAS REPEATED YEAR AFTER YEAR, WITH NO EASY SOLUTION FOR CUSTOMERS TO REPAIR. AN EXCESSIVELY COSTLY AND NOT GUARANTEED PROCEDURE WHICH COULD CREATE MORE PROBLEMS, EVEN WHEN PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THOSE WHO MUST DRIVE IN COLD CLIMATES. *TR

VISIBILITY: DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM. WINDSHIELD BLOWER. COLD AIR OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AND VISIBILITY IS DECREASED. I HAVE HAD THIS FIXED ONCE WHEN I BOUGHT THE JEEP 6 YEARS AGO. *TR

MY 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE DOES NOT DEFROST RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF FRONT WINDOW. LEFT -HAND SIDE WORKS VERY WELL. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE THIS YEAR, BUT SEEMED TO WORK OK AT END OF 2009. HAVE TRIED TO MOVE SELECTOR CONTROL BACK AND FORTH, DID NOT HELP AT ALL. TAKES SOME TIME FOR THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF DEFROSTER TO CLEAR RIGHT-HAND SIDE. MY FRIEND HAD A 1998 DODGE DURANGO AND A 1996 DODGE STEALTH THAT DID THE SAME THING. COULD THIS BE A CHRYSLER MANUFACTURING PROBLEM? THANK YOU. *TR

VISIBILITY: DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER ... IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT INCLUDE THE PRIOR DESCRIPTION BUT I'M IN QUESTION. WE HAVE HAD THIS 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN THE FAMILY FOR YEARS AND THE PAST YEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS STRICTLY COLD AIR (IT HAS DUAL AIR CONTROLS) - MY NEPHEW OWNED THE JEEP PRIOR TO OUR PURCHASING IT FROM HIM THIS PAST MONTH. HE SAID THIS HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR A WHILE AND NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. IN RESEARCHING THE FIX, IT SEEMS EVERYONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT WAS SUGGESTED TO REPORT IT TO YOU IN HOPES THAT YOU CAN HELP WITH THE FIX AS IT IS A COSTLY ONE FROM JEEP ($1000 - $1500) ... SINCE EVERYONE HAS THIS PROBLEM IT HAS TO BE A JEEP DEFECT. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN HELP US OUT. *TR

THE BLEND DOORS ON MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED HAVE BROKEN GIVING ME NO HEAT DURING THE WINTER. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS I DO NOT HAVE $1200.00 FOR FIX IT. THIS IS A TRAVESTY AND AN INDICATION OF JUST WHY THE AMERICAN BIG THREE ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE. THIS VEHICLE IS THE WORST VEHICLE THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY EVER OWNED. *TR

IN JUST THE LAST MONTH WE HAVE LOST HEAT COMPLETELY IN OUR JEEP. IT START BLOWING OUT COLD AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND NOW IS BLOWING COLD AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL AS THE DEFROSTING VENTS ALL THE TIME. WE HAVE NO HEAT AT ALL. WE HAVE NOT TRIED TO REPAIR IT YET AS IT GOING TO BE COSTLY. *TR

1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BLEND DOORS ARE FAILING TO PROVIDE HEAT OR DEFROSTING. CONCERNED ABOUT VISIBILITY AND NUMBNESS. UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS TO THE COMPANY. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND I NOTICED THAT MY A/C BLOWS MILDLY COLD AIR. I RECHARGED IT THINKING THAT IT NEEDED FREON BUT THAT WASN'T THE CASE. THIS WINTER I NOTICED THAT MY HEAT WAS NOT AS HOT AS IT SHOULD BE. NEW ENGLAND WINTERS CAN GET INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS AND THE LACK OF HEAT CAN MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD, MAKING VISIBILITY VERY POOR. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE WEB, I FOUND OUT THAT MY PROBLEM IS ALL TOO COMMON WITH JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS. IT SEEMS THAT JEEPS HAVE FAULTY BLEND DOORS MADE OF CHEAP PLASTIC AND THEY ALMOST ALL BREAK. THE REPAIR REQUIRES REMOVAL OF MOST OF THE DASHBOARD AND CAN LEAD TO ESTIMATES LEADING ANYWHERE BETWEEN $1,000-$1,800. DAIMLER CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE FAULTY DEVICES AND FAILS TO ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY AND POST A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

I NOTICED THAT MY AIR FLOW THROUGH THE A/C AND HEATER WAS NOT WORKING - NO AIR FLOW. IT SEEMS PERMANENT - NO AIR FLOW. I CAN HEAR THE FAN, BUT NO FLOW OF AIR - NO MATTER WHAT SETTING (DEFROST, FLOOR, FRONT SIDE). WHAT IS WORSE, WHEN MY WINDSHIELD FOGS UP, I HAVE NO VISIBILITY DUE TO NO WINDSHIELD BLOWER FLOW. I HAVE NOT FIXED IT SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM INHERENT WITH THE JEEP DESIGN, AND I BELIEVE JEEP SHOULD FIX IT. *TR

I HAVE A 99 GRAND CHEROKEE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ONE DAY LAST MARCH. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR STARTED TO BLOW OUT COLD AIR AND THE DRIVER SIDE WAS BLOWING OUT COLD. THE TEMPERATURE WAS BOTH ON 80. NOW THIS WINTER. YOU CAN NOT GET THE HEAT TO SWITCH FROM THE FRONT VENTS TO THE FLOOR OR DEFROST. *TR

1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS COLD AIR BLOWING OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND DASH BOARD BUT HAS HOT AIR BLOWING OUT ON PASSENGER FLOOR SIDE. I CANNOT DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD AND THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO PULLOVER WHILE DRIVING DU TO LOSS OF VISIBILITY. I PERFORMED VARIOUS TEST AND FOUND THAT WHEN TESTING THE AZC THE FAULT CODES I GET ARE 47 = LEFT TEMPERATURE DOOR NOT RESPONDING AND 54 = LEFT TEMPERATURE DOOR TRAVEL TOO LARGE. AFTER REVIEWING SEVERAL SITES AND TALKING WITH A FEW MECHANICS IT SEEMS TO BE THAT THE BLEND DOORS ARE BROKEN. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MANY FAILURES ABOUT THIS I HAVE READ AND THERE IS NO RESOLUTION. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY HERE IN THE NORTHEAST. I AM ALSO A FIREFIGHTER AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN I AM CALLED TO A FIRE, ACCIDENT WITH SOMEONE TRAPPED, OR SOME OTHER EMERGENCY, I EXPECT MY VEHICLE TO WORK PROPERLY AND AT THE LEAST PROVIDE HEAT TO DEFROST FOR VISIBILITY. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AND WHY IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A SERIOUS FAILURE. IN THESE TIMES OF POOR ECONOMY YOU WOULD EXPECT CORPORATIONS TO TREAT LOYAL JEEP OWNERS WITH CONSIDERATION AND ADDRESS THEIR ISSUES. I WOULD LIKE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AND WHAT IS REQUIRED TO REPAIR IT. I AM ALSO SICK TO HEAR THAT DEALERS ARE CHARGING OVER $1000 TO FIX A DESIGN FLAW. I WOULD HOPE YOU CONSIDER THIS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE BECAUSE I CONSIDER MY DEFROSTER IMPORTANT WHEN I RESPOND TO RESCUE SOMEONE OUT OF A BURNING BUILDING OR CUT THEM OUT OF A TANGLED VEHICLE. TIME AND LIFE IS OF THE ESSENCE TO SAVE AND I DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET HEAT TO DEFROST MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU . *TR

HEAT AND AIR WORKED FINE. IN OCTOBER ON A COLD NIGHT I DECIDED TO USE MY HEAT AND IT BLEW COLD AIR! THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I GO TO USE MY HEAT. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH VENT IT IS BLOWING FROM THE HEAT COMES OUT COLD. HAS NOT FIXED YET DUE TO REPAIR COSTS EQUALING OVER $1000.00 AND I CANNOT AFFORD THAT AT THE TIME. GUESS I WILL JUST HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND IN -8 TEMPERATURES WITH ICE ON THE INSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD..THANKS JEEP *TR

I OWN A 99 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED, AND AS I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT MY PROBLEM IS ALL TOO COMMON. IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREEZING NEBRASKA WINTER THE HEAT STOPPED WORKING! NOT ONLY IS DID MY HEATER CORE GO OUT, THE APPARENTLY THE "BLEND DOOR" IS ALSO NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. THE COMBINATION OF PROBLEMS IS LIKELY TO COST WELL OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX! AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING OUT HOW COMMON THIS PROBLEM IS . . .I'VE DECIDED I'LL NEVER BUY A JEEP AGAIN! THE OF PEOPLE THIS IS HAPPENING TO IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN OTHERWISE I WOULD ADVICE EVERY JEEP OWNER TO GET RID OF THEIR CAR BEFORE 75,00 MILES. THE PROBLEM CAN BECOME DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE DEFROST/DEFOG FUNCTION IS COMPLETELY GONE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, REDUCING OR ELIMINATING VISIBILITY. *TR

I HAVE A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. IT HAS THE SELF DIAGNOSTIC TOOL BUILD INTO THE DUAL ZONE TEMPERATURE CONTROL. I USED THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO EVALUATE THE PROBLEMS THAT I WAS HAVING WITH MY HEATING AND COOLING UNIT OF THE CABIN AND GOT NUMEROUS ERROR CODES. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 81,000 MILES CURRENTLY. THE MAJOR ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING IS THAT I CANNOT GET MY UNIT TO BLOW HOT OR COLD AIR INTO THE CABIN ALTHOUGH IT WILL TURN ON. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE LOCAL DAIMLER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED ME A PRICE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE WHICH AT THE TIME I THOUGHT WAS FAIR. THIS LAST DEALERSHIP REPAIR WAS ABOUT 3,000 MILES AGO. AFTER THE REPAIR THE VEHICLES HEATING AND COOLING UNIT OPERATED PROPERLY UNTIL RECENTLY. NOW THE SYSTEM DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY ANYMORE AND WILL TURN ON BUT WILL NOT BLOW OUT ANY AIR AT ALL...EVER. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND THEY STATED THAT THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS EXACT ISSUES AND NEED TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AGAIN. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I FOUND A FORUM ON JEEPSUNLIMITED.COM THAT HAS ABOUT 25 PAGES OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. AT THIS TIME I AM IN AGREEMENT THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS RELATED TO THE ORIGINAL DESIGN FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER COMPANY AND NEEDS TO BE EITHER ADDRESSED AS A RECALL OR AS A LAWSUIT FROM THE PUBLIC THAT HAS BEEN SOLD THESE VEHICLES. THIS REPAIR COST ME OVER $800 LAST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS NOT EVEN SOMETHING THAT COULD BE FIXED DUE TO OTHER ERRORS ON BEHALF OF DAIMLER CHRYSLER'S ORIGINAL DESIGN. I AM INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATED AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO SINCE REPAIRS OF $1,000 EVERY 3,000 MILES IS OUT OF THE QUESTION AND I AM SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND WITH OUT HEAT, SNOW FALLING, AND A PREGNANT WIFE! IF SOMETHING HAPPENS I WILL SUE. THE ORIGINAL PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SOME TYPE OF RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE HEATING AND COOLING UNIT ON THE DUAL ZONE CONTROL IN THE PAST, ABOUT 4,500 MILES AGO, AND TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT INTO GET REPAIRED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT FOGGING OR DEFROSTING MY VEHICLES WINDSHIELD AND I WAS UNABLE TO SEE DURING THE WINTER WHEN I WAS DRIVING UP TO COLORADO AND HAD TO STOP EVERY FEW MINUTES TO WIPE OFF THE CONDENSATION. THIS WAS A TERRIFYING EVENT SINCE IT WAS SNOWING ON THE HIGHWAY I WAS TRAVELING ON AND THERE WERE VEHICLES TRYING TO CONTROL THEIR OWN VEHICLES WHICH I COULD NOT SEE. AT ONE POINT WHEN I NEEDED TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AND WIPE OFF THE CONDENSATION AND UNFREEZE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FROM THE WINDSHIELD I WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE RAILING AND HIT IT, THANKFULLY I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 5 MPH BUT I STILL BANGED UP MY BUMPER A LITTLE BUT AT LEAST I DIDN'T DIE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS OBVIOUSLY DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE SINCE IT HAS NOW GONE OUT AGAIN IN LESS THAN 5,000 MILES. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS NOT RECALLED THE PARTS THAT CAUSE THIS PROBLEM AND ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE FROM THIS DESIGN BEFORE THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL. IT COSTS MORE THAN $800 TO REPAIR THE FIRST TIME AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS ISSUE JUST SO THAT I CAN SEE THE CARS THAT ARE ON THE ROAD AND THE LINES TO STAY IN MY LANE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

BLEND \ ACTUATOR DOORS ARE "STUCK" OPEN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THAT'S OUTSIDE AIR COMING IN ALL THE TIME THROUGH THE DEFROSTER, DASH VENTS, FOOT WELLS AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE FOOT AREA. TOUGH IN THE WINTER! HAD THE PROBLEM WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NOW, 2 YEARS LATER, THEY SAY IT'S THE BLEND DOORS AND MAYBE THE EVAPORATOR UNIT ALSO. THEY QUOTED $1700. TO PULL THE DASH AND REPAIR. THIS IS ON OUR 1999 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH NOW 117,000 MILES. DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER WINTER WITH COLD AIR COMING IN, AND AFRAID THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WILL FAIL. WITH THIS ECONOMY, ALSO DON'T HAVE $1,700. TO PUT INTO THE TRUCK EITHER. I BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FIRST TIME AROUND. AFTER LEARNING ABOUT THE ON-LINE CHAT ROOMS REGARDING JEEPS , I SEE THAT ABOUT 20% OF ALL GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED AND OVERLAND OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. CHRSYLER SHOULD STEP UP AND FIX THIS! *TR

BLEND DOOR FAILURE. *TR

NO INCIDENT. FAULTY PARTS THAT EVERY OWNER WILL HAVE TO REPAIR AT SOME TIME. THE HVAC SYSTEM BLEND DOORS FAIL BLOWING ONLY COLD AIR. ALL OWNER WILL OR HAD THIS PROBLEM. REPAIR COST FOR MINE WAS $850.00. THIS REPAIR MAY HAVE TO BE REPEATED AT LATER DATES. *TR

THE HEATING, AIR CONDITIONING AND DEFROST VENTILATION SYSTEM HAS A SYSTEMATIC PROGRESSIVE FAILURE. THE BLEND DOORS STARTED TO FAIL INTERFERING WITH THE AC AND DEFROST AND HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. NOW I HAVE TOTAL FAILURE AND ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT INTERFERES WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO START AND IDLE, I'M LUCKY TO HAVE GOTTEN HOME. *TR

HEATER BLEND DOOR FAILURE HEATER CORE FAILURE A/C EVAP FAILURE. *TR

MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED'S HEATER CONTROL UNIT HAS BECOME FAULTY. THE HEAT DOES NOT WORK ON ANY SETTING, AND OUTSIDE COLD AIR COMES INTO THE CABIN WITH ZERO CONTROL. THIS IS MAKING VISIBILITY VERY POOR DUE TO LACK OF DEFROSTING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS DUE TO A POOR "DESIGN" FROM THE FACTORY. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST $1,766.00 PLUS TAX TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SEEING IT BECOMES A SAFETY RISK DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY. *TR

BLEND DOORS ON MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FAILED, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE IN MOST WEATHER (INSTANT FOGGED WINDSHIELD W/NO WAY TO DEFOG) AND BLOWING COLD AIR INSTEAD OF HOT. THIS COST OVER $1000 TO FIX, AS REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF THE DOORS IS VERY TIME-CONSUMING (WHOLE DASH MUST BE REMOVED). *TR

BLEND DOOR FAILURE IN MY JEEP. BLOWS COLD AIR ALL THE TIME. *TR

THERE IS NO HEAT FROM MY PASSENGER SIDE IN MY 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IT IS THE BLEND DOOR VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX OVER $1200.00. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY KNOW THAT THERE ARE PROBLEMS BUT SAID THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD TO RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THE WINDOW FOGS UP AND YOU CAN NOT SEE WHILE DRIVING! *TR

I RAN INTO WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A SIMPLE HEATING PROBLEM WITH MY 1999 GRAND CHEROKEE. ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, MY CAR SIMPLY STOPPED BLOWING HOT AIR. AFTER GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SPENDING NEARLY $600 TO HAVE SOME SORT OF SOLENOID REPLACED, I REALIZE AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE LOT THAT ONLY MY PASSENGER SIDE WILL BLOW HOT AIR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BLEND DOORS, AND WILL LIKELY COST BETWEEN $1,000 AND $1,500 TO FIX. THE REPAIR REQUIRES A COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY OF THE DASH AND STEERING COLUMN (AROUND 10-12 HOURS FOR A FULL REPAIR, ACCORDING TO THE SHOP). I BEGAN TO LOOK AROUND ONLINE TO SEE WHAT ELSE COULD BE DONE. TO MY SURPRISE, NEARLY EVERY JEEP MESSAGE BOARD WAS FLOODED WITH POSTS ABOUT THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THE ENGINEERING OF THE PART VIRTUALLY ENSURES THAT IT WILL FAIL; THE CALIBRATION PHASE (EVERY 20 OR SO START-UPS) FORCES THE PLASTIC PART TO ITS LIMITS AND EVENTUALLY BREAKS. EVERY DEALERSHIP OR AUTO REPAIR SHOP THAT I CONTACTED SAID THAT VIRTUALLY EVERY 1999 AND NEWER GRAND CHEROKEE HAS, OR WILL HAVE, THIS PROBLEM. THE ISSUE ISN'T PAYING FOR CAR REPAIR; EVERY CAR HAS PROBLEMS THAT WE AS CONSUMERS WILL NEED PAY TO GET FIXED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE ENGINEERING OF THIS PART CAUSES IT TO FAIL, AND NOW I'M STUCK NOT BEING ABLE TO DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD IN THE WINTER, OR NOW IN SPRINGTIME WHEN IT RAINS. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THIS HAS ALREADY, OR WILL CAUSE IN THE FUTURE, ACCIDENTS FROM PEOPLE NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE. MANY PEOPLE, INCLUDING MYSELF, WOULD RATHER DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD WHILE WIPING THE WINDSHIELD WITH A RAG... THAN PAY $1,500 TO GET IT FIXED. FOR MANY PEOPLE, SPENDING THAT $1,500 ISN'T EVEN AN OPTION. *TR

THE WINDOW REGULATORS IN BOTH THE FRONT WINDOWS OF MY 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE HAVE FAILED, AND I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND REPLACEMENTS. NO AUTO PARTS STORES HAVE THEM- THEY ARE ALL ON BACK ORDER INDEFINITELY, NO USED PARTS DEALERS HAVE ANY- TOO HIGH OF A DEMAND, I HAVE ALSO EXHAUSTIVELY SEARCHED ONLINE FOR THE PARTS WITH NO LUCK . SO I AM UNABLE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE INSPECTED DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. *TR

THE HEATING / COOLING SYSTEM IN MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED STOPPED WORKING. NOW IT CURRENTLY ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR FROM ONE VENT (DRIVER'S SIDE, MID-LEVEL). EVERY OTHER VENT IN THE VEHICLE BLOWS ONLY COLD AIR. THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK WHATSOEVER. NEITHER OF THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SWITCHES WORK (FOR PASSENGER / DRIVER SIDE). I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE QUITE A PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL JEEP. I HAVE GOTTEN QUOTES TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND IT WILL COST OVER $1000. I HAVE DONE NOTHING SINCE IT IS QUITE EXPENSIVE AND WILL LEAVE ME WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR SOME TIME. THE HEATING / COOLING SYSTEM NEVER WORKS AT ALL. *TR

AS MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ON OUR WAY TO A RELATIVES LAST WEEKEND, THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW LOWERED ON IT'S OWN. I TRIED TO ROLL IT UP WITH THE DRIVERS CONTROL, AND MY HUSBAND TRIED WITH THE PASSENGER CONTROL ( WHICH HAS NEVER WORKED WELL) BUT THE WINDOW JUST CONTINUED TO GO DOWN. I HAD MY SON LOOK AT IT AND HE TOOK EVERYTHING OFF INCLUDING DOOR PANEL, AND SPEAKERS, BUT HE WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH JEEP WINDOWS AND COULD NOT DETERMINE HOW TO FIX IT. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE CHECKED OUT SOME WEBSITES ON THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. NOW IT IS GOING TO COST ME BETWEEN $250.00 AND $600.00 TO REPAIR . PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SO NO ONE ELSE WILL HAVE SUCH AN UNEXPECTED EXPENSE. *TR

WHEN THE HEAT IS TURNED ON IN MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, COLD AIR BLOWS OUT OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE VENTS, FREEZING MY PASSENGERS. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT ALL 1999-2004 GRAND CHEROKEES HAVE, AND JEEP SHOULD PUT OUT A RECALL. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR! *TR

HEATER FAILED ON PASSENGER SIDE. TRACED BY REPAIR SHOP TO FAILED HVAC BLEND DOOR. *TR

WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM JEEP DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH AC/ HEATING UNIT AND IT HAD BEEN FIXED. NOT LONG AFTER I HAVE NO HEAT AND NO AC COMING OUT OF MY PASSENGER SIDE VENTS. NOW I HAVE NO HEAT OR A.C OUT OF ANY VENTS AND ALL I GET IS OUTSIDE AIR. *TR

LOSS OF HEAT/AC. *TR

FAILURE OF CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM - VENTS GET "STUCK" IN THE WRONG POSITION SO THAT SYSTEM HEATS IN THE SUMMER OR WILL NOT HEAT IN THE WINTER. VENTS THAT AIR COMES OUT OF IS NOT CONTROLLABLE WITH NORMAL KNOB POSITIONS. MAY ONLY AFFECT ONE SIDE OF CAR OR MAY AFFECT BOTH. RANDOM BEHAVIOR OVER MANY MONTHS. *TR

ALL OF THE SUDDEN THERE WAS NO AIR BLOWING OUT OF THE INSIDE VENTS, I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO EXPLAINED THAT THE BLOWER QUIT WORKING AND THE LEFT SIDE HEATER QUIT WORKING AS WELL. MY MECHANIC FIXED THE BLOWER BECAUSE IT WAS EASILY ACCESSIBLE AND CHARGED ME $200 TO FIX IT BUT NOT THE HEATER BECAUSE HE EXPLAINED HE WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE WHOLE FRONT DASH AND WILL COST A LABOR A ABOUT $500. I CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHO EXPLAINED THAT SERVICES WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE. I KNOW A LOT OF JEEP OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THESE SAME PROBLEMS. I AM AFRAID CHRYSLER DID NOT EQUIPPED THE VEHICLES WITH HIGH QUALITY BLOWERS AND OR HEATERS. A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER IS NEEDED! *TR

99 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HVAC SYSTEM FAILURE. BLEND DOORS ALLOW AC TO BE ON WHEN THE HEAT IS ON ALLOWING THE WINDSHIELD TO FREEZE/FOG IN THE WINTER AND FALL. THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER KNOWS THERE IS A FLAW WITH ALL OF THESE CARS. MAKES FOR VERY UNSAFE DRIVING HALF OF THE YEAR IF YOU CAN'T SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

I HAVE A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LTD 1999 WITH NO HEAT OR DEFROST IN DRIVER SIDE WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT WOULD COST BETWEEN 1200 AND 1500 TO FIX I AM OUT OF EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN TO TO DEFROSTER NOT WORKING I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED HEATER DOESN'T WORK. NO HEAT ON EITHER SIDE WHATSOEVER. 116K MILES AND FROM THE WAY THE SELLER IS RESPONDING TO MY QUERY ABOUT IT IS THAT ITS BEEN THAT WAY FOR A WHILE NOW. HAVE HEARD THAT POSSIBLY THE CONTROL MODULE(RELAY) MELTS AS WELL WHICH IS A REASON AS TO WHY I SMELL A FAINT BURNT PLASTIC SMELL WHEN I TURN THE AIR ON WHETHER IT BE HEATER OR A/C IT SMELLS. *TR

MY 1999 GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE HAS THE SAME MOST COMMON PROBLEM OF OWNERS WHO OWN JEEPS FROM 1999-2004. THE HEATER SYSTEM BLOWS COLD AIR. DAIMLER/CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT BUT WILL NOT COVER THE EXPENSIVE COST TO FIX IT. INSTEAD THEY HAD HANDED OVER THE COST TO US. *TR

I HAVE A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE HEATING UNIT HAS FAILED. IT ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. I WENT ONLINE TO CHECK IF IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I COULD FIX MYSELF BECAUSE I CALLED TWO DEALERS AND THEY ALL WANT TO CHARGE $1200 OR MORE TO FIX IT. TO MY SURPRISE, I FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS AND USER GROUPS ONLINE WHEREBY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME FAILURE IN THEIR JEEP CHEROKEES FROM YEAR 99-04 MODELS. WHAT THEY ALL DESCRIBE IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND EXPERIENCE WE HAD WITH OUR JEEP. FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE GOES OUT AND ONLY BLOWS COLD....THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE DRIVER SIDE DOES THE SAME THING. I CAN NOT IMAGINE WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED ON THIS. THE MANUFACTURER ACTS AS IF THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM. I WOULD CHALLENGE SOMEONE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT HOW MANY OF THESE HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED IN THOSE MODEL YEARS. IT WILL BE A SHOCKING NUMBER. *TR

THE "BLOWER CONTROL MODULE" IS THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENT RESPONSIBLE FOR ADJUSTING THE FAN SPEED FOR THE HVAC ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL. IT IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THESE UNITS FAIL. IT HAS FAILED ON MY VEHICLE. MY OWN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HAS REPLACED QUITE A FEW OF THEM. THE WIRING HARNESS AND PLUG THAT SUPPLIES POWER IS NOT HEAVY DUTY ENOUGH AND IT OVERHEATS AND MELTS AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE. IT CAN BE FURTHER EXAGGERATED IF THE BLOWER COLLECTS DEBRIS AND DRAWS MORE CURRENT. ONCE IT FAILS THE BLOWER WILL NO LONGER OPERATE. THIS MAKES THE DEFROSTER UNAVAILABLE, WHICH COULD CREATE VERY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS SHOULD THE WINDOWS FOG UP. CHRYSLER HAS A REDESIGNED UNIT WITH A NEW HARNESS SO IT IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THEY ARE ALREADY AWARE OF. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE NEW PARTS INSTALLED AND THE OLD PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. HERE'S A WRITE UP OF HOW TO FIX IT YOURSELF. HTTP://WWW.WJJEEPS.COM/BLOWER_MOTOR.HTM *JB

I TRAVEL TO THE MOUNTAINS ON THE WEEKENDS AND EXTERNAL TEMP USUALLY GET BELOW FREEZING. LAST WEEKEND THE BLEND DOOR PROBLEM CAME UP SUDDENLY. THERE IS NO HEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE WINDSHIELD DEFROST FUNCTIONS . DUE TO THE WINDSHIELD BEING FOGGED UP, I ALMOST DROVE OVER THE CLIFF AVOIDING ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

IN MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED THE BLEND DOOR FOR THE HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING MAKE A TON OF NOISE, AND FAIL QUITE OFTEN. IT IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND EVERY DEALER TELLS ME IT IS A PROBLEM STRAIGHT FROM THE FACTORY. *TR

TWO PROBLEMS: 1. THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR BURNT OUT AND THE AC/HEAD FAN QUIT WORKING. IT WAS SPARKING WHEN I MANAGED TO DISCONNECT THE WIRE. LUCKILY, I WAS STOPPED AND COULD REACH IT IN TIME - HAD I BEEN DRIVING ITS VERY POSSIBLE MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BURNT UP. 2. NO HEAT. ENTIRE LAST WINTER I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE 2 HOURS PER DAY CONSTANTLY WIPING FOG OFF MY WINDSHIELD. I WAS TOLD BY A 'MECHANIC' IT WAS A CLOGGED HEATER CORE SO I HAD TO PUT UP WITH IT BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT AT THE TIME. DANGEROUS AND COLD, BUT I HAD NO CHOICE. NOW I AM TRYING TO GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED I START RESEARCHING AND FIND THERE ARE ENTIRE WEB SITES DEVOTED SOLELY TO THESE TWO PROBLEMS. 1. BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR SHORTS OUT. TO PROPERLY REPAIR YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE RESISTOR AND THE DASHBOARD WIRING HARNESS... VERY COSTLY!! $600+ 2. NO HEAT DUE TO BAD BLEND DOORS. $1200+ 3. BOTH OF THESE APPEAR TO AFFECT JEEPS 1999-2004 YEAR MODELS HOW CAN JEEP CONTINUE TO KNOWINGLY SALE AUTOMOBILES WITH 1 - A FIRE AND SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE FAULTY RESISTOR? 2 - A SAFETY HAZARD WITH NO HEAT DUE TO FAULTY BLEND DOORS? GOOGLE IT... BOTH OF THESE ARE VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES AND ARE NOT ISOLATED INCIDENTS. PLEASE LOOK AT THESE TWO LINKS PROVIDED. THEY JUST START TO SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF HOW BAD THIS PROBLEM REALLY IS. JEEP SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS AS THEY ARE BOTH SAFETY ISSUES AND THEY KNEW ABOUT THEM PRIOR TO THE SALE, NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF REPAIRING THESE ITEMS PLACES AN UNFAIR BURDEN ON THE OWNER SINCE FAIR TRADE WOULD MANDATE THESE KNOWN AND RECURRING DEFECTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCLOSED PRIOR TO SALE. THESE ARE NOT RARE OR ISOLATED INCIDENTS, THEY ARE KNOWN PROBLEMS JEEP FAILED TO DISCLOSE OR REPAIR.

VISIBILITY: DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER BLEND DOOR FAILURE - TSB

THE AUTOMATIC HVAC SYSTEM ON MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BROKEN. THE "BLEND DOORS" THAT CONTROL HOT VS. COLD AIR DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. AS A RESULT, COLD AIR IS BLOWN WHEN HOT AIR IS REQUIRED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING ON THEIR WJ LIMITEDS AND OVERLAND EDITIONS. THIS CAN CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION BY NOT BLOWING HOT AIR REQUIRED TO DEFOG THE WINDSHIELD. THE ISSUE ONLY OCCURS ON MODELS EQUIPPED WITH THE AUTOMATIC HVAC SYSTEM. *JB

VISIBILITY: DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER . HEATING SYSTEM CONTINUES TO FAIL WHICH PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN I'M DRIVING AND THE WINDOWS BECOME FOGGED OVER. SOME DAYS THE DEFROSTER WORKS BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT DOES NOT. THE UNIT CONTINUALLY BLOWS COLD AIR OUT EVEN IF THE HEATER IS ON. *JB

BOTH BLEND DOORS AND/OR HVAC DOOR STOPS HAVE GONE OUT. NO, HEAT WHICH MEANS NO WINDOW DEFROSTING. *JB

VERY UNSAFE MALFUNCTION OF THE "BLEND DOORS" IN MY HEATER MECHANISM. MY FATHER'S 2003 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. HEAT AND DEFROST AIR ONLY COMES OUT ONE SIDE, CAN'T SEE OUT ALL THE WINDSHIELD!!! DEALER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, SAYS IF YOU ONLY HAVE ONE BAD ONE, MIGHT AS WELL REPLACE THEM BOTH WITH THE NEW REDESIGNED PARTS FOR $1600 - $1800. HELP! *JB

1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LTD, BLEND DOOR ON HVAC/DEFROSTER STOPPED WORKING. *NM

CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT FAULTY, "COMMON" FAULT WITH THIS VEHICLE MAKE / TYPE, CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT UNABLE TO MAINTAIN TEMPERATURE, BLOWS COLD WHEN IT SHOULDN'T BE, I AM INFORMED IT IS A FAULT WITH THE BLEND DOORS, AND TO REPAIR IS VERY VERY COSTLY AS THE WHOLE DASHBOARD HAS TO BE REMOVED, PARTS ARE AVAILABLE BUT COST OF REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE. *JB

FOGGING OF WINDSHIELD DUE TO IMPROPER DESIGN OF THE HVAC ON MY JEEP. THIS SI THE SECOND TIME IT HAS BROKEN, WITH ONLY 55,000 MILES ON MY 99 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. *NM

I HAVE A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR EVEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OF THE DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL IS SET LOWER THAN THE DRIVER. I HAVE READ IN FORUMS AND MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *NM

HEARTER BLEND DOOR IN HEATER BOX NOT TURNING. *NM

NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE - DUE TO THE INFAMOUS "BLEND DOOR" PROBLEM. *JB

VISIBILITY: DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER AC/HEATER/DEFROSTER BLOWER NO LONGER OPERATES PROPERLY. AC SELF-DIAGNOSTIC CODES INDICATE "TEMP DOOR/RECIRC DOOR TRAVEL TOO LARGE". NO COMBINATION OF CONTROL SETTINGS WILL MAKE THE BLOWER/FAN OPERATE. *JB

THIS IS CONCERNING A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED EDITION, I AM WRITING DUE TO REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THE DEFROST CONTROL INABILITY TO CLEAR OR KEEP CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD. COLD OUTSIDE AIR BLOWS FROM THE DEFROST VENTS, AND DOES NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD OF FROST OR MOISTURE, OR CAUSES MOISTURE TO RE-FREEZE. THIS IS CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF THE BLEND DOORS IN THE HEATING SYSTEM. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AFTER ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO WARM AND THE WINDSHIELD TO CLEAR. THIS IS A RE-OCCURRING PROBLEM, THE DEALERS SERVICE MANAGER SAYS THAT ALL WJ SERIES JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES WITH THE DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL WILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND WILL COST BETWEEN $1200 AND $1800 TO REPAIR AND THAT THE REPAIR IS NOT PERMANENT, JUST A FIX UNTIL THE PARTS BREAKS AGAIN. AT THIS TIME THIS HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE ADVICE OF THE SERVICE MGR OF MY JEEP DEALER, HE RECOMMENDED FILING THIS COMPLAINT AS HE SAYS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. *JB

99 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WILL ONLY BLOW OUT COLD AIR. NO HEAT AT ALL. GET AC CODES OF 52, 54, 56 FROM THE DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN. *JB

RH SIDE INCLUDING DEFROST DUCT BLOWS OUT ONLY COLD AIR, MAKING DEFROST ON THE RH SIDE DIFFICULT. *NM

THE CLIMATE CONTROL ON MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WILL RANDOMLY CREATE LOUD CREAKING AND CRUNCHING NOISES FROM UNDER THE DASH AND WILL CAUSE A SUDDEN DRASTIC TEMPERATURE CHANGE. THIS CAUSES THE DEFROSTER NOT TO OPERATE CORRECTLY AND THE WINDOWS TO INSTANTLY FOG UP. THIS FIRST OCCURRED IN OCTOBER OF 2005 AND HAS HAPPENED OVER A DOZEN TIMES REDUCING MY VISIBILITY SOMETIMES TO NOTHING AT ALL. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS AND WILL NOT INVESTIGATE ANY FURTHER. *JB

BLEND DOOR BROKE ON PASSENGER AND DRIVER VENTS. BLOWS ONLY COLD AIR. *JB

THE HVAC SYSTEM ON MY 99 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS FAULTY. *JB

BLEND DOOR FAILURE CAUSING FOGGING OF WINDSHIELD. *NM

HVAC ON MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LTD. HAS FAILED AND THE SYSTEM ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE IN COLD DAYS OF WINTER: WINDSHIELD CANNOT BE PROPERLY VENTILATED. THIS HAPPENS TO ALMOST 100% OF THESE VEHICLES AFTER JUST 50K MILES. AND EVEN THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT HAPPENS TO ALL MODELS 1999 THROUGH 2002 OR 3. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM, NOT A TSB! RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST A CHANCE FOR JEEP TO MAKE AN EXTRA $1,800 OFF OF A FACTORY DEFECT. *NM

WJ JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BLEND DOOR BREAKAGE/FAILURE VISIBILITY: DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER. *JB

(1) NO WARNING (2) COLD AIR COMING OUT OF PASSENGERS SIDE HEATER VENTS ALL THE TIME, ALSO THIS MAKES IT NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFROST THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD. (3)I WAS TOLD IT COST $1200 TO FIX THIS, AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY RIGHT NOW TO DO THIS. *JB

1999 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED BLEND DOOR PROBLEM THIS PROBLEM IS ON EVERY JEEP I READ ABOUT THIS IS A MASSIVE ERROR ON JEEP THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.THANKS, NORMAND. *NM

BLEND DOOR FAILURE. COST $1100. *JB

DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER IN MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED IS NON-FUNCTIONAL. THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS NO HEAT AT ALL, BUT MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE DEFROSTER WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO SEE OUT OF MY WINDSHIELD NOW THAT COLDER WEATHER IS HERE. *JB

I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH BROKEN BLEND DOORS AND RECIRCULATION DOORS ON MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE DUAL ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL. *NM

THE A/C HEAT BLEND DOORS ON MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LTD. WITH ONLY 61,000 MILES HAVE FAILED AND THE SYSTEM ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS AND AS I READ ONLINE IT HAPPENED TO ALMOST 100% OF THESE VEHICLES AFTER THEY PASS 50K MILES. MY FATHER HAS A 2001 AND HAS HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THE REPAIR IS $1,800 AND EVEN THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT HAPPENS TO ALL MODELS 1999 THROUGH 2002 OR 3. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM NOT A CHANCE FOR JEEP TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF A FACTORY DEFECT. *NM

COLD AIR BLOWS FROM ONE SIDE OF THE DASH EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE THE HEAT TURNED ON MAKING DEFROSTER INOPERABLE IN THE COLD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE COLD. DASHBOARD HAS LOUD CREAKING SOUND COMING FROM ITS UNDERSIDE WHEN VENTILATION IS TURNED AND CREAKING FROM THE DASH SECONDS AFTER SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF. THESE JEEPS ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THIS SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. *NM

MY VEHICLE HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS ANOTHER VEHICLE MANUFACTURED BY THE SAME COMPANY (DAIMLER CHRYSLER), THAT VEHICLE IS A 2002 DODGE RAM, THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER IS 03V078000. ON MY VEHICLE THE CONNECTION FOR THE BLOWER MOTOR CONTROLLER IS UNDERSIZED, WITH HEAT FROM THE ELECTRICAL CURRENT THE CONNECTOR LOOSENS AND CAUSES THE BLOWER MOTOR TO CUT OUT, IT ALSO CAUSES MELTING TO THE BLOWER MOTOR CONTROLLER ITSELF AND THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. FOR THE MENTIONED RECALL DAIMLER CHRYSLER INSTALLS A WIRING HARNESS OVERLAY, THE SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM IS THE SAME, THEY MAKE A WIRING HARNESS OVERLAY, THE PROBLEM HOWEVER IS THAT THE HEAT FROM THE ELECTRICAL CURRENT DAMAGES THE BLOWER MOTOR CONTROLLERS HOUSING AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, WHICH MEANS THAT THIS PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE CONSEQUENCES TO THIS FAILURE IS THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR BECOMES INOPERABLE AND DURING TIMES WHEN THE DEFROST IS NECESSARY SUCH AS COLD WEATHER, THE BLOWER MOTOR CAN CUT OUT AND REDUCE VISIBILITY. IF YOU READ MY COMPLAINT YOU'LL SEE IT'S THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL I'VE MENTIONED. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND INVESTIGATED THIS SITUATION THOROUGHLY AND AM SURE IT'S THE SAME. I ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE OTHER RECALL BECAUSE I WAS EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM TO MY BROTHER WHO OWNS A 2002 DODGE RAM AND HE TOLD ME IT SOUNDED EXACTLY THE SAME AS HIS PROBLEM THAT WAS A RECALL, SO YOU CAN SEE THAT IT CLEARLY IS THE SAME PROBLEM. *NM

THE CONTACT STATED THE BLOWER FAN STOPPED WORKING AND HE COULD NOT DEFROST HIS WINDSHIELD. AT THAT TIME, HE COULD SMELL AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ,AND THEY DETERMINED THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE BLOWER MOTOR MELTED. HE REPLACED THE HARNESS AND THE RESISTER FOR THE BLOWER FAN HIMSELF. *AK

I HAVE 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED THAT THE REAR WINDOW IS NOT SAFE FOR A CHILD AT ALL MY 4 YEAR OLD SON GOT HIS HAND ROLLED UP BETWEEN THE GLASS AND THE REAR OF THE DOOR PILLAR LUCKILY HE SCREAMED BEFORE REAL DAMAGE COULD HAVE BEEN DONE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS WAS NEVER LOOKED AT BY JEEP CAUSE THE GRAND CHEROKEE HAS THE SAME BODY STYLE FROM 1999 TO 2004. *NM

DT: CONTACT STATES THE LEFT REARVIEW MIRROR IS DISCOLORED TO A RUST COLOR AND FOGGING UP. THE CONTACT THOUGHT IT WAS A FINGERPRINT HE TRIED TO WIPE IT OFF, BUT IT WOULD NOT COME OFF. THE SERVICE DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR THE MIRROR DUE TO THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. *AK *JB

DT: DURING OPERATION OF VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE POWER WINDOWS ACTED ERRATICALLY, AND SUBSEQUENTLY DROPPED INTO THE DOOR. DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WAS OPEN. TOOK TO VEHICLE A MECHANIC, WHERE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT BOTH MOTORS WERE FAULTY/CORRODED, AND POORLY DESIGNED. THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. BOTH MOTORS WERE REPLACED FOR OVER $500.00 THIS WAS A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. OWNER FELT THIS SHOULD NOT HAD HAPPENED. OWNER WAS CONCERNED THAT THIS OCCURRED AT HIGH SPEED. NO PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS SINCE MOTORS WERE REPLACED. *AK *TT *NM

THE VEHICLE'S INTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR BECAME DETACHED FROM THE WINDSHIELD. *NM THE CONSUMER AND THE DEALER HAVE HAD TO RE-GLUE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. *TC *JB

BOTH FRONT POWER WINDOWS FAILED WITHIN 6 WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. THE WINDOWS FELL INTO THE DOORS WITHOUT WARNING. THE FIRST WAS FIXED WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE WORM GEAR DRIVE AND REGULATOR ASSEMBLY, THE 2ND JUST OCCURRED YESTERDAY BUT IS THE SAME REPAIR.*AK

I AM NOT SURE THIS IS THE CORRECT PLACE FOR THIS SO IF NOT MAYBE YOU COULD DIRECT ME TO THE PROPER PLACE FOR MY COMPLAINT.I HAVE A 99 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ABOUT 20 MONTHS AGO THE BLEND DOORS IN THE AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL BROKE THE COST FOR THIS WAS AROUND $1000.00, LAST MONTH THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED AND JEEP BEING AWARE OF THE PROBLEM UPDATED THE PART SO AS TO NOT FAIL SO EASILY IN JAN 2004. I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR A COMPLETE REPAIR AGAIN. MY QUESTION IS THERE ANYWAY TO GET SOMEONE INVOLVED THAT CAN LOOK INTO THIS POORLY ENGINEERED ITEM. SINCERELY DANIEL KNIGHT. *AK

INTERMITTENTLY CONSUMER CANNOT GET THE WINDOWS TO ROLL UP OR DOWN. DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE WINDOW MOTOR REGULATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*AK OLD REGULATOR WAS REPLACED BY A NEW ONE DESIGNED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *LA

WHILE DRIVING REAR LEFT SIDE WINDOW SUDDENLY DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THIS PAST SATURDAY THE RIGHT SIDE WINDOW DROPPED DOWN. *AK BOTH FRONT POWER WINDOWS' REGULATOR ASSEMBLY AND STEEL CABLE BROKE. DEALER REPLACED FRONT WINDOW REGULATOR, BUT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE IDENTICAL TO THE OLD ONE WHICH CONCERNED THE CONSUMER THAT ALL WINDOWS MIGHT DROP AT THE SAME TIME WITHOUT WARNING. *LA

THE DEFROSTER FAILED, AS A RESULT, VISIBILITY WAS IMPAIRED. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEFROSTED FAILED SEVEN TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED, THE RIGHT FRONT WINDOW DID NOT WORK. *JB *NM

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN SIX MONTHS THAT THE SEAT SUPPORTS HAVE BROKEN AWAY. I AM NOT A BIG PERSON AND THE SEAT IS NOT OFTEN MOVED. THIS STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF THE SEAT IS UNUSUAL, WHEN ABUSE IS NOT PRESENT, CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ASSISTANCE, WHEN IT IS APPARENT THAT THERE IS A EITHER A DESIGN FLAW OR STRUCTURAL FAILURE.

PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AT 10,728 MILES. DRIVER FRONT WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AT 18,670 MILES. PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACED AT 31,448 MILES. ALL THESE INSTANCES RESULTED IN THE WINDOWS NOT OPERATING FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME. *AK

THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS SLID DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THERE WAS POPPING NOISE PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THIS WAS CAUSED BY A PLASTIC PART IN THE DOOR REGULATOR BREAKING.*AK

HEATER CORE HAD A MELT DOWN. AS A RESULT, CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO CLEAR THE TRUCK WHICH RESULTED IN POOR VISIBILITY. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN A SNOW STORM. *AK

THE FRONT ELECTRIC WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STOPPED WORKING. I CAN STILL HEAR THE MOTOR CLICK LIKE IT IS TRYING TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. ALL OTHER WINDOWS WORK CORRECTLY. *LA

WHILE DRIVING, PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW COMPLETELY FELL INTO DOOR. POWER WINDOW MOTOR STILL APPEARED TO WORK, BUT THE WINDOW WOULDN'T RISE. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT REGULATOR WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

PLASTIC CLIP ON WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION. WINDOW FELL INTO DOOR & STARTLED DRIVER AT HIGHWAY SPEED ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT. NEW UNIT FROM DEALER HAS BEEN REDESIGNED W/ METAL COMPONENT BUT NO RECALL ON OBVIOUS PROBLEM/SAFETY DEFECT. *NLM

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS FAILED, WHICH WAS CAUSED BY AN INOPERATIVE REGULATOR.*JB *TS

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND WITHOUT WARNING THE FRONT OR REAR WINDOWS WOULD FAIL AND STICK IN THE SEAL CAUSING A DISTRACTION TO THE CONSUMER. DEALER NOTIFIED. TS

WHILE IN MOTION, THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SUDDENLY DROPPED INTO THE DOOR. THE REGUALTOR HAD WORN AND BROKE. *JG TS

THE DEFOGGER FOR HEAT VENILATION WILL NOT BLOW OUT HEAT. THE BLEND AIR DOOR ARM BROKE OFF THIS IS PART OF THE HEATER BOX. CAUSING FOG ON THE OUTISIDE OF THE WINDOW. THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. MR

THE DESIGN OF THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR MOTOR ASSEMBLY APPEARS TO BE FLAWED. THERE IS A SMALL PLASTIC "CLIP" THAT IS HEAT MELTED TO THE NYLON MOVEMENT ASSEMBLY DURING MANUFACTURING. THIS CLIP RECEIVES A GREAT DEAL OF STRESS DURING WINDOW OPERATION AND IS DOOMED TO FAIL FROM THE BEGINNING. WHEN THE CLIP FAILS, THE WINDOW WILL "UNEXPECTANTLY" DROP INTO THE DOOR OFTEN RESULTING IN BROKEN OR DAMAGED GLASS. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT IF A DRIVER IS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS FAILURE.*AK

WINDOW REGULATORS---DRIVER'S WINDOW FELL IN THE DRIVER'S DOOR WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED & UNOCCUPIED--METAL GEAR HAD WORN THE PLASTIC TEETH DOWN CAUSING THE WINDOW TO FALL INTO THE DOOR---THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW FELL AT RESULT OF THE WINDOW REGULATOR ALSO FAILED FOR THE SAME REASON

THE REAR OF THE SUNROOF LEAKS WHEN IN AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFUSED TO ASSIST WITH REPAIR COSTS.*AK

THE CAR IS NOT QUITE 3 YEARS OLD AND THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW FAILS TO WORK. THE WINDOW IS NOT USED OFTEN. THE DAIMELER CHRYSLER STATED BECAUSE OF TEH MILEAGE THEY WOULD NOT PERFORM THE REPAIR FREE. MY QUESTION TO DAIMLER CHRYSLER WAS WHAT DOES MILEAGE HAVE TO DO WITH A WINDOW WORKING? EITHER THEY WORK OR NOT. I MENTIONED THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL TB ON THE POWER WINDOWS WORKING SPORADICALLY.*JB

ALL OF THE WINDOWS IN THIS JEEP HAVE STOPPED WORKING OVER TIME. THE FIRST TIME WAS JAN. 27, 2000 (SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE) RHT FRONT WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AND REGULATOR WAS REPLACED. ON APRIL 28, 2000 THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AND REGULATOR REPLACED. ON OCTOBER 6, 2000 THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AGAIN AND THE REGULATOR WAS REPLACED AGAIN. ON JUNE 26, 2001 THE DRIVER FRONT WINDOW AND THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AND THE REGULATORS WERE REPLACED. FINALLY ON JUNE 4, 2002 THE DRIVERS REAR WINDOW HAS STOPPED WORKING. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE JEEP IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WANTS TO CHARGE TO $217.00 TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR. THE JEEP WAS COVERED ON THE OTHER PREVIOUS INSTANCES. I FEEL THAT THERE IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS IN THIS VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY ALL OF THE WINDOWS WILL FAIL ON IT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT OR OTHER INCIDENCE.*AK

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW GLASS HAS UNEXPECTEDLY FALLEN INTO DOOR. WAS ADVISED BY DEALER THAT THIS WAS A RARE OCCURRENCE AND THEY HAVE FIXED ONE SIDE UNDER WARRANTY AND THE OTHER WILL BE REPAIRED NEXT WEEK. BOTH OCCURRENCES OCCURED AT SPEED AND SUDDENLY. WAS ADVISED THAT THE WINDOWS ARE HELD BY PLASTIC CLIPS THAT FAILED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH PROPER FASTENERS FOR AN SUV TYPE VEHICLE. *AK

THE WINDOW IN VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. *JG

WITHIN A YEAR HAD POWER WINDOW MOTORS REPLACED DUE TO REGULATOR/MOTOR FAILURE. CURRENTLY, PROBLEM APPEARD TO BE REOCCURRING. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL, AND WARRANTY EXPIRED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS STUCK IN UPRIGHT POSITION UNTIL DEALER CHANGED REGULATOR HOSE. SINCE REPAIR OF THE HOSE WINDOW SHAKES AND LEAKES. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

WHEN IT IS COLD WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES WILL ONLY TOUCH AT THE VERY ENDS SO THEY DON'T CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD AND YOU CAN'T SEE OUT, EVEN WHEN THE WINDSHIELD AND WIPER BALDES ARE COMPLETELY CLEANED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE BLADES TWICE BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. *AK

WINDOW BLADE FELL OF FRONT SHIELD DUE TO A CLIP BEING IMPROPERLY INSTALLED, THREE MONTHS LATER THE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED, CAUSING WINDOW TO FALL. NLM

REAR WINDOW HAD BLOWNOUT WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. HAD AT LEAST 2 WINDOWS SLIGHTLY OPEN AT THE TIME. HAD HAPPENED BEFORE IN SEPTEMBER, 2000. NOTHING HAD HIT IT.*AK *JB

WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY, DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WINDOW LOWERED COMPLETELY ON ITS OWN. WINDOW MOTOR STILL WORKS, BUT WILL NOT RAISE THAT WINDOW OR LOWER IT.

THE LEFT FRONT POWER WINDOW IS INOPERATIVE. NLM

FRONT/SIDE VISIBILITY IS RESTRICTED DUE TO WIDE SUPPORT BETWEEN FRONT WINDOW AND SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW, I AM OF AVERAGE BUILD AND DRIVE WITH MY SEAT ALMOST ALL THE WAY FORWARD. THERE IS A LARGE BLIND-SPOT IN THIS AREA AND SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE NOT SEEN AN ONCOMING VEHICLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL ONTO A HIGHWAY

VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP FOR ROUGH IDLE, PULLS TO THE RIGHT, REPLACED PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW MOTOR, REPLACED DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW MOTOR, FRONT ROTORS REPLACED AT 9300 MILES, TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKS, VEHICLE RIDES LIKE A CHEVETTE OVER BUMPS AND MAKES CREAKING NOISES IN FRONT END, SOUNDS LIKE TIRES WILL FALL OFF WHEN ON ROUGH ROAD, DEALER SAYS EVERYTHING IS FINE, BUT IT IS NOT. HAS THE WORST RIDE THAN ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE EVER HAD. VEHICLE MAKES HORRIBLE KLUNKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTED FROM PARK TO REVERSE. SOUNDS LIKE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL ON GROUND. VEHICLE JUMPS INTO GEARS. ON 7/30/99, I HAD STARTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS STANDING BEHIND VEHICLE WHEN IT JUMPED OUT OF PARK TO REVERSE AND PROCEEDED TO THROW ME UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THEN ROLLED OVER MY LEGS.

POWER WINDOWS STOP WORKING, THIS TIME EVERYTHING ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR NOT WORKING (WINDOWS, LOCKS, REAR VIEW MIRROR ADJUSTMENT); THIS IS THE THIRD TIME, HAS GONE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE. *AK

THE WINDOW ON THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT WORKED FOR SOME TIME NOW AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. THE WINDOW DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE INTO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES NOW AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX IT NOR DO THEY TAKE ME SERIOUSLY. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP I CAN GET.

THE WIND DRAG IS NOT DEFLECTEED PROPERLY ,DUE TO DESIGN, WHEN THE SUNROOF IS OPEN CAUSING ROOF VIBRATIONS AND ALOT OF NOISE INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. NLM

I BOUGHT TWO JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES IN APRIL OF '99. IN BOTH VEHICLES, THE WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. I CAN'T ROLL-DOWN THE WINDOWS, AND THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY, BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE ON A NATIONAL BACK-ORDER LIST, SO OTHER JEEP OWNERS MUST BE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY, THE WINDOW DOES NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN. *AK

CONSUMER WAS DRIVING APPROX. 5 MPH WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVE WAY AND BACKED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, CONSUMER SAYS THER REAR GLASS IS TO DARK, FOR CORRECT VISIABILITY. THE GLASS IS SUPER TINTED. (PRIVATE TINTING) THE VIN.# REGISTERS SUPER TINT, AND CONSUMER INQUIRED ABOUT TINT AT TIME OF PURCHASED. CHRYSLER SAYS TINT MEET FMVSS.

SHOWED DISTORTED WINDSHIELD TO DEALER ON 4/8/99, WHO SAID HE WOULD CONTACT CHRYSLER.

THE WIPER BLADES STIFFEN AND LOSE CONTACT WITH THE WINDSHIELD, EXCEPT AT THE ENDS, AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 30 F. THE BLADES WILL NOT EVEN CLEAR WATER FROM THE WINDSHIELD. STOPPING AND CLEANING THE BLADES ONLY WORKS FOR A FEW MINUTES. IN ORDER TO SEE WHERE YOU ARE GOING, YOU MUST LOOK THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN IDENTICAL WINTER CONDITIONS FOR OVER 20 YEARS WITH SUBARUS AND MY OTHER JEEP AND HAVE ONLY EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT JEEP NEEDS TO ADDRESS. THE DEALER SAYS THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE UNLESS THEY HAVE A TSB. *MJS
