REGARDING WINDSHIELD CLEARING OF 2002 JEEP AND 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER DOES NOT CLEAR THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT I REPLACE THE WIPER, WHICH I DID WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE AREA THAT DOES NOT CLEAR IS DIRECTLY IN LINE WITH THE DRIVERS VIEW. THE PASSENGER SIDE CLEARS WELL. I CONTACTED A COMPANY THAT REPLACES WINDSHIELDS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE SPRING TENSION ON THE WIPER ARM. I DID NOT YET REPLACE THE ARE THINKING THAT A NEW ARM WOULD HAVE THE SAME SPRING TENSION. MY DAUGHTERS JEEP ( THE 2002) HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW COULD THIS CONDITION HAVE EXISTED FOR 5 YEARS WITHOUT CORRECTION? IT WOULD SEEM UNLIKELY THAT THESE 2 CARS ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. DO YOU HAVE ANY RECORD OF THIS CONDITION CAUSING ACCIDENTS? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT NOTICED WATER ENTERING THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE SUNROOF. THE WATER ENTERED THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND DAMPENED THE FRONT FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE INTERMENT PANEL COMPONENTS (RADIO), AS WELL AS THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS TO NOT WORK PROPERLY FOR DAYS AT A TIME. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THIS FAILURE APPROXIMATELY 2-3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN TWELVE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. THE DEALER FINALLY CONCLUDED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS DESIGNED TO WORK IN THAT MANNER. THERE WAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAS A VIDEO AND PICTURES AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

HEATER STARTED BLOWING COLD AIR ON DRIVERS SIDE. BLEND DOOR BROKE AND FELL DOWN INSIDE THE DASH. I PAID $130 FOR "HEATERTREATER" FIX AND REPAIRED THE BROKEN DOORS BY CONVERTING THE DUAL CONTROLS TO SINGLE DRIVERS SIDE CONTROL ONLY. *TR

POWER WINDOW FAILURE (DESIGN FLAW) MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS HAVE BOTH FAILED. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR JEEP AND THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE, STILL SELLING THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH NO MODIFICATIONS TO CORRECT ISSUE. *TR

THE AUTO UP/DOWN FEATURE FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW DOES NOT WORK. WHEN USING THE BUTTON, THE WINDOW WILL GO UP A BIT THEN BACK DOWN, THEN UP AND DOWN. COULD POTENTIALLY BE A PROBLEM IN THAT THE WINDOW WILL NOT CLOSE. *TR

THE AUTO UP/DOWN FEATURE FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW DOES NOT WORK. WHEN USING THE BUTTON, THE WINDOW WILL GO UP A BIT THEN BACK DOWN, THEN UP AND DOWN. COULD POTENTIALLY BE A PROBLEM IN THAT THE WINDOW WILL NOT CLOSE. WILL TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALER TOMORROW. *TR

WE HAVE HAD THE WINDOWS IN OUR 2002 JEEP CHEROKEE JUST DROP,WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER THE WHOLE WINDOW REGULATOR HAS TO BE REPLACED, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SMALL PIECE THAT BREAKS. THE SAME WINDOW TWICE HAS NOW FALLEN. THE DEALER REP SAID THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR THE JEEP LINE AND THEY HAVE HAD TO ORDER LARGE AMMOUNTS OF THE REGULATORS TO KEEP UP WITH THE BREAKAGE. WE HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AT THE TV STATION I WORK AT AND BOTH OF THE REAR WINDOWS DID THE SAME THING,YET NO RECALL BY THE MANFACUTER,WHEN ASKED AT THE DEALER THEY JUST SHRUG THEIR SHOLDER THE COST OF THE UNIT IS AROUND $450 DOLLARS AND THEN THE COS OF LABOR THANK YOU. *TR

THE AUTO UP-DOWN FOR WINDOWS GOES UP THEN DOWN THE UP THEN DOWN, AND CONTINUES LIKE THIS. IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE TO GET YOUR HAND CAUGHT IN THE WINDOW OR DISTRICT THE DRIVER WHILE TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR YOU MUST LEAVE THE WINDOW OPEN AND HOPE THE CAR DOES NOT GET STOLEN OR DAMAGED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PARTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WAS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW BY THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT OF JEEP, AND THEY WERE TRYING TO KEEP THIS PROBLEM A LOW PROFILE BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT FOUND OUT. *AK
