TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM DID NOT WORK. SHE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY INSTRUCTED HER TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED TO THE DEALER, SHE NOTICED FREON RISING FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AS A RESULT, OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM BEGAN TO FAIL. THE AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATER NO LONGER WORKED. THE DEALER STATED THAT NOT ONLY HAD HER BLOWER MOTOR AND RESISTER FAILED, BUT THE HEATER CORE, EVAPORATOR CORE, ACTUATOR, AND BLEND DOOR (WHICH NO LONGER PROVIDED HEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE) WERE CORRODED AS WELL. THE DEALER FURTHER STATED THAT THE FREON FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ORIGINATED FROM THE EVAPORATOR CORE, INDICATING THE PRESENCE OF ETHANOL (TOXIC GAS). THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT OFFERED ANY ASSISTANCE AND STATED THAT THE FAILURES WERE DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE. CURRENTLY, THE ESTIMATED COST THAT THE CONTACT HAS SPENT ON REPAIRS IS $2,000. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,350.

THE HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING ON MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT BLOWS OUT COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN I'M CALLING FOR HEAT. *TR

THE SEAT HEATER IN MY '02 JEEP GRAND CHERKOO OVERLAND STOPPED WORKING. I PEELED BACK THE LEATHER COVERING TO DISCOVER A WIRE CONNECTING 2 HEATING ELEMENTS HAD SHORTED OUT WHERE IT IS PINCHED BY A SPRING TENSION ROD AND SIGNIFICANTLY BURNT THE SEAT CUSHION AND MELTED PART OF THE LEATHER. *TR

I OWN A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND EDITION WITH DUAL CLIMATE ZONES. WHEN THE HEAT IS ON, PASSENGER SIDE VENTS BLOW COLD AIR. DRIVER SIDE VENTS BLOW WARM AIR. IN LOOKING ON JEEPFORUM.COM, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO MOST PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. IT IS A KNOWN BLEND DOOR ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SLID DOWN IN ITS TRACK. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND PULL THE WINDOW UP BY HAND. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY JEEP'S FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW ON 12/22/05, EXCEPT THAT OCCURRED AT NIGHT AND IT WAS 15 DEGREES OUTSIDE (LIVED IN NY AT THE TIME)-HAD TO DRIVE HALF AN HOUR HOME WITH THE WINDOW WIDE OPEN. *TR

CLIMATE CONTROL BLEND DOOR FAILURE - FOGGED UP FRONT WINDOW AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE 3 WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED. I ONLY HAVE ONE LEFT, WHO KNOWS WHEN THAT WILL GO, PERHAPS NEXT YEAR, BECAUSE IT SEEMS ONE BREAKS PER YEAR. I HAVE HAD EACH OF THESE REPLACED AT A CHRYSLER DEALER. CHRYSLER IS QUITE AWARE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH IT'S VEHICLES, BUT IS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BECAUSE IT IS NOT A "SAFETY ISSUE". THIS PART WITH LABOR IS $460 EACH TIME IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CHRYSLER IS WILLING TO KEEP DRAINING THE POCKETS OF ITS CONSUMERS WITH NO CARE TO ITS LOYAL CUSTOMERS. THERE ARE 5 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ON AUTOMOTIVE.COM WITH THE SAME ISSUES. I WANT TO FILE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT. CHRYSLER IS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I WOULD LIKE MY MONEY BACK. I THINK THIS CAR IS A LEMON!!!! I HAVE PUT MORE MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS THEN I HAVE PAID FOR THE CAR. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME RETRIEVE SOME OF MY FINANCIAL LOSSES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. SINCE THE DAY THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE CONTACT FEELS A VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING 30-45 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURS WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE 50% WORN. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE VEHICLE HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000. UPDATED 01-15-08. *KB THE DEALER STATED INSTALLED INTAKE DEBRE SHIELD. UPDATED 01/15/08 *TR

FIRST THERE WAS THE RECALL ON THE ELECTRIC RADIATOR FAN, AND NOW CONSEQUENTLY THE HEATER, OR BLOWER DOESN'T PRODUCE HOT AIR. THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE HUNDREDS OF THESE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITHIN THE PAST YEAR CHECK THIS LINK TO SECURE THE VALIDITY OF THIS ARGUMENT HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/JEEP-GRAND-CHEROKEE/TSERAT48371ICOB68/P14. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE WHEN HE STARTED THE VEHICLE. HE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED PLASTIC PIECES ON THE GROUND AND WATER LEAKING FROM THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE FAN. THE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V199000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN), ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 89,652. UPDATED 3/4/08 *CN

DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL IS BROKEN. COLD AIR ON ONE SIDE & HOT AIR ON THE OTHER SIDE. *TR

I CAN'T BELIEVE AFTER READING ON THE INTERNET AND READING THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE! I OWN A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEELLIMITED WITH DUAL HEAT ZONE. I RECENTLY LOST HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. NOW YOU ASK HOW IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? WELL WHEN YOU HAVE IT ON DEFROST YOU HAVE HEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND ICE COLD AIR BLOWING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. (REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU HAVE THE DEFROSTER ON THE A/C PUMP CIRCULATES WHICH CAUSES VERY COLD AIR TO BLOW) NOW ONLY PART OF YOUR WINDSHIELD IS CLEARING UP. I LIVE IN CENTRAL PA WHERE THE WEATHER IS ALWAYS CHANGING. ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL AND SPRING. THIS TEMPERATURE CHANGE CAN CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP RATHER QUICKLY ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S DAMP AND THERE ARE WARM BODIES IN THE CAR. THIS CAN OCCUR WHEN YOUR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ANY TIME. I WORK FOR NAPA AUTO PARTS AND TRAVEL IN 3 STATES. I'M A FORMER VEHICLE TECHNICIAN AND KNOW A LOT OF REPAIR SHOPS. I WAS BLOWN AWAY AT HOW MANY OF THESES REPAIR SHOP KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND SAID THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON. THEY ALSO STATED THAT IT IS VERY TIME CONSUMING AND VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR. MOST DEALERSHIP STOCK THE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS. THIS ALONE SHOULD THROW UP A RED FLAG! THE BLEND DOORS WERE DESIGNED VERY CHEAPLY AND WE THE CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. ANYONE CAN SEE THE HAZARD HERE THE QUESTION IS, WILL SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING BEFORE THERE IS A DEATH? ( THERE MAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN SOME, BUT NOBODY WILL EVER KNOW IF THE PERSON IS

VISIBILITY HEATING AND COOLING. PASSENGER SIDE AIR WONT HEAT. DRIVERS SIDE WORKS FINE ON DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL OVERLAND. PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT. WHEN I PHONE MY LOCAL DEALER HERE IN YANKTON SD, THE SERVICE REP ACTUALLY COMPLETED MY SENTENCE WHEN I WAS DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM. HE INDICATES THIS IS A REPEATING ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE GRAND CHEROKEE. HE EVEN DESCRIBED THE IMPAIRED VISION AS A RESULT OF THE VERY WELL KNOWN MALFUNCTION. HE TOLD MY WIFE AND I THAT UNLESS THERE IS A SEVERE CHANCE OF PERSONAL INJURY JEEP WILL NOT STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS POOR DESIGN FLAW. ALSO HE INDICATED IT MAY COST AS MUCH AS $1500 TO FIX. HE SUGGESTED I STUFF PLASTIC BAGS INTO THE HEAT DUCT TO STOP THE FLOW OF COLD AIR UNTIL I GET IT REPAIRED. HE COMMENTED THAT POOR VISIBILITY WILL CONTINUE IF NOT WORSEN BY DOING SO. PLAIN AND SIMPLE, JEEP NEEDS TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THEIR DESIGN FLAW. THE KNOW THE PROBLEM IS THEIRS BUT CONTINUE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR THEIR OWN DOING. IF I WANTED THIS KIND OF TREATMENT, I WOULD OF PURCHASED A GM. THE TACOMA, GREAT PERFORMER AND SERVICE PEOPLE WHO DON'T TAKE YOU FOR AN IDIOT. *TR

HEATER BLEND DOOR MALFUNCTION - DUE TO WEAR ON PLASTIC PINS DODGE GARAGE SAID THAT IT CAUSED THE BLOWER MOTOR TO OVERHEAT AND MELTED THE WIRES GOING TO THE BLOWER MOTOR. REPAIRS WILL COST AROUND 1200 DOLLARS AT THE DODGE GARAGE. *TR

2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH RECALL FOR THE RADIATOR FAN. CONSUMER STATED THAT HE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. MECHANIC TOLD HIM THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE AFTER HE HAD DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AND LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. CONSUMER CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THEY HAD THE PARTS. *KB

I HAVE A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED AND ALWAYS HEARD NOISES FROM THE VENT SINCE I BOUGHT THE JEEP, GOT IT CHECKED OUT WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY DID SOMETHING TO THE ACTUATOR. A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO I HAD COOLANT LEAKING INTO MY CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, HAD TO GET A NEW HEATER CORE ($800) THEN WHEN THEY FINISHED NO HEAT WAS COMING OUT, IT WAS THE BLEND DOOR SO THEY HAD TO REDO ALL THE WORK IN GETTING IN THERE ($350 AFTER I COMPLAINED), 3 MONTHS AGO, SAME PROBLEM HEATER CORE LEAK ($920), NOW 3 MONTHS AFTER THAT I HAVE NO HEAT, TOOK IT IN LAST WEEK, BLEND DOOR PROBLEM AND $730. I HAVE NO HEAT IN MY JEEP!! I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND I HAVE HAD IT TWICE! SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE. *TR

WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL, AND POWER WINDOW CONTROL FAILED TO RAISE THE WINDOW. IT IS NOW STUCK IN THE HALF-OPEN POSITION, PENDING REPAIR. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A COMMON RECURRING PROBLEM AMONG JEEP OWNERS, AND THAT THE REPAIR IS APPROX. $400 FOR EACH INCIDENT. GIVEN THE HUNDREDS OF OWNER REPORTS I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO BOTH IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THE PART(S) AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *TR

WE HAVE A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND SINCE THE FIRST MONTH THAT WE PURCHASED IT NWE WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOW REGULATORS BREAKING. WE HAVE NOW HAD FOUR TO BREAK IN THE FIVE YEARS THAT WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST ONE THAT BROKE WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE OTHER THREE HAVE TAKEN PLACE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST OF THIS YEAR. THE FIRST WINDOW REGULATOR THAT WE HAD TO HAVE REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP COST $422. WE HAVE NOT HAD THE OTHER TWO WINDOWS FIXED YET, BECAUSE WE ARE HOPING THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER WILL HELP US OUT WITH THIS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE MALFUNCTION DUE TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRING. I FEEL THIS IS AN EVENTUAL SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN THE CABLE SNAPS IT SOUNDS LIKE A SHOT GUN FIRING, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO REACT TO THE NOISE. MORE THAN ANYTHING, I FIND IT TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CONSUMER NATION WIDE ARE HAVING TO PAY FOR. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS OF JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS ON CAR FORUM WEBSITES ON THE INTERNET. *TR

WINDOWS FOG UP SO BAD I CAN'T SEE ON RIGHT SIDE OF CAR. COLD AIR BLOWS OUT ON PASSENGER SIDE EVEN AS THE TEMP CONTROL IS SET ON HI POSITION. RAN DIAG. ON HVAC AND ERROR CODE 52 = AI (RECIRC) DOOR TRAVEL RANGE TOO LARGE & 56 = RIGHT TEMPERATURE DOOR TRAVEL TOO LARGE. *TR

BLEND DOOR FAILURE IN THE HVAC SYSTEM OF MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND. FAILURE CAUSES HVAC SYSTEM TO BLOW COLD AIR ONLY. THIS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC AS I LIVE IN COLORADO AND NEED HEAT IN THE WINTER FOR VISIBILITY OUT THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

HEATING SYSYTEM PROBLEM IN MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED (NO HEAT AT ALL). *TR

NO HEAT OR DEFROST ON PASSENGER SIDE.*TR

TURNED ON MY 02 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ON A COLD JANUARY MORNING, THERE WAS NO HEAT AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTED FOR A WEEK AND AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE TO A NEARBY DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR HAD FAILED. THE COST TO REPAIR THE ISSUE WOULD BE IN EXCESS OF $1000 AND IF I HAD OPTED TO PERFORM THE PROCEDURE MYSELF THE PARTS ALONE WOULD HAVE COST UPWARDS OF $300 AND TAKEN AT LEAST 8 HOURS TO COMPLETE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE ON ALL 1999-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND LEADS TO COMPLETE HEAT FAILURE WITH EXCESSIVELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR COSTS. *TR

WHEN I TRIED TO START MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND THE SMELL OF SOMETHING THAT HAD BURNED. THE NEXT DAY I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD BLEW OFF AND THE PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER. IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER A MONTH AND I WAS TOLD IT WILL BE ANOTHER MONTH BEFORE PARTS WILL BE RECEIVED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAD NEVER SEEN AN INCIDENT OF THE TYPE I EXPERIENCED. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER THREE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD ON EACH OCCASION THAT THEY WILL NOT FINANCIALLY PARTICIPATE IN THE REPAIR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V199000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN). AFTER THE RECALL WAS REPAIRED, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE BEGAN TO INCREASE TOWARDS THE HOT LEVEL. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR BECAUSE THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAT WOULD NOT WORK AND THE CHECK GAUGE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. HE PLACED ANITFREEZE INTO THE RADIATOR AND THE FAILURE TEMPORARILY STOPPED. THE RADIATOR HAD TO BE REFILLED WITH ANTIFREEZE EVERY FOUR DAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY STATED THAT THE PART THAT THE HOSE CONNECTED TO FAILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 94,000. UPDATED 01/09/08.*LJ THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE HEAT ON BECAUSE ANTI-FREEZE WOULD LEAK.

HEATER BLEND DOOR BROKEN. NO HEAT AT ALL!! KIND OF DANGEROUS IF YOU CAN'T DEFROST YOUR WINDOWS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO HEAT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR MY MODEL JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. *TR

HEAT FAILED ON PASSENGER SIDE. *JB

MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FIRST LOST HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER THE DRIVERS SIDE HEAT WOULD NOT WORK AS WELL. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE BLEND DOORS ACTUATORS WERE NOT WORKING AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $800-$1000. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. PLEASE ADVISE. *JB

I HAVE OWNED MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR 2 YEARS NOW. OVERALL I HAVE LOVED THE CAR BUT TWO WEEKS AGO ON THE WAY HOME THE DRIVER'S WINDOW JUST DROPPED INTO THE DOOR. THINKING THAT WAS ODD AND A RARITY WE CONTINUED HOME. LATER THAT EVENING THE LEFT PASSENGER WINDOW DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I DECIDED THAT THIS WASN'T A RARITY BUT SOME SORT OF DEFECT AND TURNED TO THE INTERNET TO FIND OUT WHAT I SHOULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM. TO MY DISMAY I FIND THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE RUN INTO THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS BECAUSE OF A PISS POOR DESIGN THAT JEEP DOESN'T WANT TO FIX. EVEN MORE TO MY DISMAY I FIND THAT NOT ONLY DOES JEEP NOT WANT TO FIX THE ISSUE THAT WANT TO CHARGE $450 PER WINDOW TO FIX IT. *JB

2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH DEFECTIVE BRAKE ROTORS. CUSTOMER STATES THAT SHE HAS HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED AND REPLACED ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. CONSUMER WANTS REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIRS. *KB

MY CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM ONLY PROVIDES COLD AIR. WHEN THE HEAT FAILED IT CAUSED A RAPID FOGGING OF THE WINDSHIELD SINCE THE DEFROSTER WENT FROM HOT TO COLD. *TR

THE HVAC BLEND DOORS ON MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (WJ) OVERLAND FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 88, 000 MILES CAUSING A LOSS OF HEAT AND DEFROST ABILITIES. DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE VEHICLE IT WILL REQUIRE A TRAINED MECHANIC A QUOTED SEVEN HOURS OF LABOR TO REPLACE A PLASTIC PART WHICH HAS FAILED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, THE LOSS OF DEFROST ABILITY, THAT JEEP MANUFACTURES HAVE BEEN AWARE OF AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED SO THAT THESE JEEPS, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE MAY BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE CURRENT JEEP OWNER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE VENT VALVE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE VENT VALVE AND THERE WERE NO FURTHER OCCURRENCES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 01V348000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING: EXHAUST SYSTEM: EMISSION CONTROL). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,870 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93,100.

MY HEAT STOPPED WORKING IN MY VEHICLE AND I CAN NOT DEFROST MY WINDOWS. *TR

I OWN A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND WITH 60,000 MILES. THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WERE (1) RAPID FOGGING OF FRONT WINDSHIELD,(2) FOGGING OF FRONT PASSENGER WINDOWS,(3) FAILURE OF PASSENGER HEAT AND DRIVER HEAT FUNCTION, AND (4) ONLY COLD AIR RELEASE ON BOTH SIDES OF JEEP. CONSEQUENTLY,(1) THE WINDSHIELD AND FRONT WINDOWS DO NOT DEFOG, AND (2) NO HEAT WHATSOEVER COMES FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR AND DASHBOARD VENTILATION SYSTEM. TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, A "BLEND AIR DOOR" IS NECESSARY AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1,200 INCLUSIVE OF 7 HOURS OF LABOR. ACCORDING TO THE CERTIFIED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND ONLINE FORUMS, THIS HAS BECOME A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2000-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITEDS WITH DUEL ZONE VENTILATION SYSTEMS. *TR

MY 2002 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED BLOWS COLD ON PASS. SIDE AND HOT ON DRIVER SIDE. IT HAS DONE THIS FOR SOME TIME. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY JEEPS DOING THIS. PLEASE HELP.... *TR

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

MY JEEP 2000 GRAND CHEROKEE SUDDENLY WILL PRODUCE NO HEAT, THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THE WINDOWS WILL NOT DEFOG AND CAN CREATE SERIOUS VISIBILITY PROBLEMS. THE HEATING SYSTEM WILL ONLY BLOW COLD AIR, WHICH CAN SUDDENLY CREATE CONDENSATION ON THE WINDOW AND ENTIRELY OBSCURE VISIBILITY. THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE, IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. UPON A SHORT BIT OF RESEARCH, IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S FROM 2000-2004 AND JEEP WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT EVEN THOUGH THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS ARE HAVING THIS SAME SAFETY PROBLEM HAPPEN TO THEM. *TR

THE HEATER HAS STOPPED WORKING BLOWING ONLY COLD AIR OUT OF THE VENTS, DOESN'T PROPERLY DEFROST WINDOWS, SO WHEN DRIVING ON COLD DAYS THE WINDOW FOGS UP CAUSING A HAZARD, VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE, ALMOST HIT SOME OTHER CARS BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF VISIBILITY. NOT TO MENTION DRIVING IN A FREEZING CAR WITH MY YOUNG CHILD. *TR

WE OWN A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE HEATING SYSTEM STOPPED BLOWING HOT AIR. WHEN WE TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED US THAT THE BLEND DOORS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE JEEPS AND THAT COST TO REPAIR IT WOULD BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $1200. APPARENTLY THE ENTIRE DASH NEEDS TO BE REMOVED AND THIS TAKES 6HRS OF LABOR TO ACCOMPLISH. *TR

HEAT NOT WORKING ON DRIVER'S SIDE OF CAR. BLOWER WORKS SPORADICALLY AND WHEN IT DOES WORK, COLD AIR COMING OUT OF DRIVER AND CENTER BLOWERS. HEAT DOES COME OUT PASSENGER SIDE. WITHOUT DEFROST CANNOT DRIVE VEHICLE IN THE COLD. HAD TO BRING IN FOR SERVICE, JUST GOT $900 ESTIMATE TO REPLACE BLEND DOOR AND ACTUATOR. HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY THIS DUE TO THE CLIMATE I LIVE IN. THIS 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS 71,00 MILES ON IT. *TR

VENTILATION SYSTEM BLEND DOORS HAVE BROKEN, NO CONTROL OF AIRFLOW TO THE DEFROSTER. SAFETY ISSUE, CAN'T DEFROST WINDSHIELD. *TR

2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STARTED MAKING HORRIBLE "WOBBLE" NOISES FROM REAR OF VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES. PAID $660 TO REPLACE COMPLETELY WORN (ALL) BEARINGS. REPAIR SHOP (PROGREAR, SAN DIEGO, CA) SAID THIS WAS A VERY COMMON REPAIR IN ZJ GRAND CHEROKEES. *JB

AIR BLEND DOORS LOCATED DEEP INSIDE DASHBOARD HAVE FAILED ON MY CAR & THOUSANDS OF OTHERS. THIS CAUSES THE DRIVERS COMPARTMENT TO TYPICALLY FREEZE DURING WINTER MONTHS. EVEN THOUGH IT IS AN ADMITTED MANUFACTURING DEFECT, CHRYSLER WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS NOT DEEMED ENOUGH OF A SAFETY ISSUE. SINCE REPAIRS ARE $1K OR MORE, MANY PEOPLE ARE PUTTING OFF SERVICE OR TRYING HOMEMADE REMEDIES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THUS GOING WITHOUT THE REPAIR OR TRYING TO DO IT YOURSELF YOU MAKE THE DRIVERS COMPARTMENT VERY UNSAFE. CHRYSLER IS MAKING A HUGE PROFIT OFF THIS REPAIR AND THEIR SERVICE CENTERS ADMIT THIS. *TR
