1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

I HAVE A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. THE BLEND DOOR IS BAD AND I HAVE NO DEFROST OR HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE JEEP ONLY COLD AIR. *TR

MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BEGAN TO STALL IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING. AS I APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT OR TRAFFIC AHEAD AND AS THE MOTOR WOULD RETURN TO IDLE, IT WOULD STOP RUNNING RESULTING IN NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. THE LAST TIME I WAS ABLE TO WRESTLE THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING AREA WHERE IT WOULDN'T START. A FRIEND COMPLETED A COMPUTER SCAN OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS THROWING OUT A BAD CRANK POSITION SENSOR CODE. ONCE THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED, THE VEHICLE STARTED AND HAS SINCE OPERATED FINE. THIS OCCURRED WITH AROUND 110,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *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

DRIVER-SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO DOOR AND WILL NOT ROLL UP. UPON RESEARCH ONLINE, HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH FAULTY PARTS WITHIN THE WINDOW MECHANISM. HAVE NOT DONE ANY WORK OR REPLACEMENT YET. *TR

BLEND DOORS BROKE FOR NO REASON CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BLOW ONLY COLD AIR. HEATER DOESN'T WORK AND WHAT'S REQUIRED IS HAVING TO RIP THE DASH OUT AND REPLACE THE BLEND DOORS. *TR

I HAVE A '99 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LTD. THE DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REGARDLESS OF THE TEMP SETTING. DEALER SAYS IT IS VERY COMMON AIR-BLEND ACTUATOR/DOOR PROBLEM AND WILL COST $$$ TO FIX. *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

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CONSISTENTLY AND INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON AND OFF. IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. IT IS UNRELIABLE AND POSES A SAFETY CONCERN WITH IT'S DRIVERS. *TR

WINDSHIELD VISIBILITY PROBLEM CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE BLEND DOOR ON ZONE CONTROL FOR HEATER, CAUSING UNSAFE VISIBILITY ISSUE IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON A FEW WEEKS AGO. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO FIND OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. A CLOCK SPRING HAD BROKEN IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG, RENDERING THE AIRBAG UNDEPLOYABLE. THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR WAS $309+ TAX. THE MECHANIC TRIED TO REPAIR BUT REALIZED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE AIRBAG IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN AT A COST OF $1800. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO REPORT THIS ISSUE TO THEM, AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THEIR DESIGN THAT RENDERED THIS REPAIR OF AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE SO EXPENSIVE IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE. *TR

HEATING BLEND DOORS 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SECOND FAILURE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 30-35 MPH TRIED TO ROUND A BEND IN THE ROAD AND THE STEERING FAILED, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE AND CROSSED THE CENTER LANE OF THE ROAD AND CRASHED HEAD-ON INTO A SCHOOL BUS. THE VEHICLES WERE TOWED FROM THE SCENE AND MY VEHICLE WAS LATER INSPECTED BY AN ENGINEERING FIRM TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE WHICH WAS TIE-ROD DEFECT/PITARM FAILURE. THE REPORT INDICATED THAT THIS AREA DOES NOT HAVE GREASE FITTINGS. THE FAILURE OF THE PART WAS DUE TO IMPROPER MANUFACTURING. *TR

AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. BLEND DOOR KEEPS BREAKING. *TR

1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED HAS A SAFETY DEFECT IN THE AC/HEATER SYSTEM. BLENDING DOORS MECHANISM CONTROLLING THE DEFOGGING OF THE WINDSHIELD BREAK TOO EASY. REPLACED ONCE ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THEN IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. TOO EXPENSIVE. WHEN IT RAINS ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE DEFOGGING SYSTEM FAILURE. *TR

1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED, DUAL ZONE HEATING AND COOLING. PROBLEM IS PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS ONLY COLD AIR, WILL NOT BLOW HOT. SAME PROBLEM 1,000'S OTHERS HAVE. *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

HVAC SYSTEM THAT BREAKS ON EVERYONE AND ITS NOT A RECALL. *JB

1999 WJ GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED- BLEND DOOR PROBLEM. I HAD THE BLED DOOR PROBLEM FIXED ON MY JEEP FIXED ABOUT 40K MILES AGO. THIS ISSUE HAS CROPPED UP AGAIN. 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. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS LACK OF HEAT AS A SAFETY ISSUE. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, DROVE OVER A RETAINING WALL, AND RESTED AGAINST A NEIGHBORING HOME. THE DOOR OF THE VEHICLE KNOCKED THE CONTACT TO THE GROUND AND CAUSED MINOR BACK AND WRIST INJURIES. THE GEAR POSITION INDICATOR FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO BELIEVE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 114,000.

I OWN A 1999 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED JEEP. THE FRONT ROTOR DISK HAS WARPED DUE TO THE HEAT CREATED WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. AS A RESULT THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES VIOLENTLY ON THE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES. THE ROTOR & CALIPERS HAVE BEEN CHANGED! WHEN WILL CHRYSLER HELP TO RESOLVE AN ISSUE, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING FAULT? *TR

THE IGNITION CYLINDER FAILED AND THE KEY WILL NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION, THEREFORE STRANDING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. *JB

99 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH ENGINE PROBLEMS CUSTOMER STATES THAT THE RPM'S WOULD IMMEDIATELY GO UP TO THE 200 OR SOMETIMES HIGHER AS SOON AS HE STARTS UP THE CAR AND ALSO ACCELERATE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED**CC THE CONSUMER STATED VARIOUS PARTS WERE REPLACED, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM RETURNED. THE CONSUMERS WIFE WAS DRIVING, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN, SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES AS HARD AS SHE COULD, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO PROCEED IN A FORWARD MOTION. THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THE CONSUMERS WIFE PLACED IT IN DRIVE AGAIN AND IMMEDIATELY IT STARTED TO ACCELERATE UNCONTROLLABLY. APPLYING THE BRAKES WITH FULL FORCE DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHEN AAA ARRIVED AND STARTED THE VEHICLE, NOTHING HAPPENED. THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE THE CONSUMERS DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING. DURING ONE OF THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENTS, THE CONSUMERS WIFE WAS INJURED. THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE COOLANT RADIATOR FAN RELAY AND WATER PUMP WERE REPLACED. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON, THE TRANSMISSION SEAL WAS LEAKING. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. THE RIGHT AND LEFT HUB BEARING WERE REPLACED. *JB

I HAVE A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO CLOUDY THAT ONE CAN BARELY SEE THROUGH THEM. I HAVE NEVER SEEN HEADLIGHTS DO THIS , MUCH LESS ON A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD. I CONTACTED THE COMPANY TO NO AVAIL. I CAN SEND PICTURES FOR REFERENCE. I BELIEVE THERE WAS A FAILURE IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THESE HEADLIGHTS THAT MIGHT INCLUDE A FAILURE TO INCLUDE A CERTAIN UV OR OTHER CHEMICAL COMPONENT IN THE FINAL PRODUCTION OF THIS COMPONENT.*AK

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

THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SEAT ADJUSTER BROKE AND NOW THE SEAT IS WIGGLING AND WOBBLING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP, AND WAS QUOTED $900.00 TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THEY STATED THAT THE ENTIRE SEAT ADJUSTER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I OWNED. I AM FORCED TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR WHEN IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER'S S DEFECT. *AK

THE AIR CONDITIONER (AC)/HEAT DO NOT WORK ON THE1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE LIKELY PROBLEM IS THE FAILURE OF THE POORLY DESIGNED/MANUFACTURED BLEND DOORS. ESTIMATED REPAIR COST: $1200. I WAS INFORMED BY MECHANIC THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT SUCH A SYSTEM WOULD FAIL SO OFTEN AND COST SO MUCH TO FIX. *AK

I OWN A 1999 JEEP GRAN CHROKEE.THE HEADLAMP COVERS ARE VERY BADLY DESTORTED OVER,THAT ITS BECOMING HARD TO SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT.I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING ON THE MARKET TO CLEAN THEM,BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK.I THINK THIS HAS BECOME A SAFTY ISSUE,AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.JEEP HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE COVERS.

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.

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

CRANKSHAFT COUNTER BALANCE WEIGHTS SCRAPING AGAINST INTERNAL ENGINE BLOCK DUE TO MAIN CRANKSHAFT THRUST BEARING WEARING OUT AT 115,000 MILES DUE TO BAD OEM PART. ALL OTHER ENGINE PARTS ARE EXCELLENT! THIS WEAR CAUSES AN INTERNAL TICKING SOUND THAT STEADILY GETS LOUDER AS WEAR CONTINUES. REPLACEMENT OF THE THRUST BEARING REQUIRES ENGINE REMOVAL, ENGINE DISASSEMBLY AND IS NOT PRACTICAL. AFTER $900 FOR DIAGNOSTIC WORK, MECHANIC SAYS PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AND DRIVE IT UNTIL IT STOPS, THEN REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE.............OR REPLACE IT NOW........THE PART WILL FAIL AND BE TERMINAL TO THE ENGINE. *JB
