VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:HEATER CORE
MY '01 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S HEATER STOPPED WORKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT ONLY BLEW IN COLD AIR. I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND IT WAS A BLEND DOOR FAILURE. LEADING UP TO IT, I HAD NOTICED AN ODD SOUND COMING FROM THE HVAC AFTER I TURNED MY ENGINE OFF, BUT IGNORED IT AS IT WORKED PROPERLY. THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS NOW STOPPED WORKING. SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, THERE IS APPARENTLY A TSB #24-001-04 CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. IF IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM, IT SHOULD NOT SIMPLY BE AN INFORMATIONAL TSB, BUT RATHER A RECALL. PLEASE HELP EVERYONE HERE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE HEATER FAILED AND SEVERAL MONTHS LATER THE DRIVER SIDE ALSO FAILED. SO ENTIRE CAR BLOWS COLD AIR. NO HEAT FOR THE DEFROSTER. DEALER SAYS THE HEATER BLEND DOORS AND ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED. THE FIX IS TO THE TUNE OF $1600. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAVE SPENT OVER $3000.00 TO FIX A COOLANT LOW LIGHT THAT KEEPS COMING ON AND LOW OIL PRESSURE. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS DESPITE TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND SOMEONE ELSE TO FIGURE OUT THE SOURCE. NO LEAK. REPLACED EVERYTHING FROM WATER PUMP TO FAN. THIS ABSOLUTELY HAS TO BE AN ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE FOR AN ANSWER, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY JEEP. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR 2 YEARS. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
FIRST, WHEN I TRIED TO USE THE HEAT, ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE WOULD BLOW WARM AIR WHILE THE DRIVER SIDE WAS COLD. THAT LASTED ABOUT A MONTH, THEN NO WARM AIR AT ALL. THAT WAS THE WINTER OF 2007. THEN DURING THE SUMMER OF 2008, MY A/C STOPPED BLOWING ANY KIND OF AIR THROUGH THE VENTS NO MATTER WHAT SETTING I USED. THE SYSTEM WORKS AS FAR AS THE BLOWER MOTOR AND COOLING THE AIR GOES, IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE IT OUT OF THE VENTS WHAT SO EVER. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW REGARDING THE BLEND/RECIRCULATION DOORS IN THE HVAC SYSTEM. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD DEFOGGER-DEFROSTER AND CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM ARE FAULTY . HE ELECTRONIC HEAT CONTROLLER HAS BEEN REPLACED IN THE 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED ON 2 PREVIOUS OCCASIONS AND THE FAULT STILL OCCURS. THE FLOW DOORS OF THE HEATING SYSTEM ARE STICKING OPEN AND PREVENTING WARM AIR FROM ENTERING THE DEFROSTER DUCTS OR THE CABIN HEATING DUCTS. THE VEHICLE OFTEN FROSTS OVER THE WINDSHIELD AND SIDE WINDOWS WHILE DRIVING AND CAN NOT BE SAFELY CLEARED. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS TWICE WHILE UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND ONCE AFTER IT EXPIRED. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS OVER $1,000. A MANUFACTURERS SAFETY RECALL IS IN ORDER TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT. *TR
