VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WENT DOWN BY ITSELF, AND WILL NOT GO BACK UP. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WINDOW MOTOR BROKE. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET (TYPE IN 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE POWER WINDOW DEFECT), I FOUND MANY OTHERS THAT SHARED SIMILAR DEFECTS IN THEIR POWER WINDOWS. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:HEATER CORE, SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:SEAT HEATER/COOLER
I OWN A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH 87,000 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 WHILE STILL MAINTAINING DRIVER HEAT FUNCTION, AND (4) ONLY COLD AIR RELEASE ON PASSENGER SIDE 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

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:FAN/MOTOR
I HAVE A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH ABOUT 35,000 MILES. THE HEATING SYSTEM HAS RECENTLY STOPPED WORKING. I CHECKED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY 1999-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT APPEARS TO BE QUITE COSTLY TO REPAIR. IT OBVIOUSLY AFFECTS VISIBILITY ON THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
INCIDENT HAPPENED IN MALL PARKING LOT. TRIED TO PUT JEEP IN REVERSE AND VEHICLE DID NOT GO INTO GEAR. PUT VEHICLE IN PARK, CHECKED TO MAKE CERTAIN EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ON THEN PUT IN REVERSE AGAIN. THIS TIME IT ACCELERATED EXTREMELY FAST AND BACKED INTO A PARKED CAR BEHIND ME WHICH SLID INTO CAR NEXT TO IT, WHICH SLID INTO THE CAR NEXT TO IT. IT HAPPENED IN ABOUT 1/4 SECOND AND DAMAGED 4 CARS, COUNTING THE JEEP. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:ELECTRICAL HEATING ELEMENT
LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND THE DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL ON MY 01 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WENT OUT. SAME THINGS AS THOUSANDS OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. FAULTY BLEND DOOR IN THE DASH WENT OUT, COST ME 1800 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THIS HAPPENS TO EVERY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE I KNOW OF BETWEEN YEARS 1999-2004. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE WOULD NOT BLOW HOT AIR, THEN THE DRIVERS SIDE STOPPED BLOWING HOT AIR. NOW DEFROST NO LONGER WORKS. FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. REPAIR REQUIRES AN EXCEPTIONAL AMOUNT OF MONEY ($1,000+) CONSIDERING THAT IT IS AN OBVIOUS ENGINEERING/MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IN THE STRENGTH OF THE BLEND AIR DOORS AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY. JEEP HAS A "NEWER" "BETTER" ASSEMBLY THAT CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. PART IS INEXPENSIVE - LABOR IS NOT SINCE IT REQUIRES REMOVING ENTIRE DASHBOARD. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE SINCE IT RENDERS THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER UNUSABLE. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE - IT'S WIDESPREAD AND COVERS MANY YEAR'S OF PRODUCTION OF JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND POSSIBLY OTHER JEEP PRODUCTS. UPON INVESTIGATION ON THE WEB - IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A PART THAT WILL FAIL ON ALL JEEPS AND NOT A QUESTION OF IF BUT WHEN. JUST LIKE THE BRAKE PROBLEM FOUND ON SIMILAR JEEPS (EVENTUALLY RECALLED) IT LOOKS LIKE JEEP IS PLAYING THE WAITING GAME - AND HOPING THAT MOST FAILURES OCCUR OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD (SUCH AS OURS 70K MILES). THIS IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. THE ORIGINAL PARTS WERE NOT ENGINEERED PROPERLY. JEEP OBVIOUSLY KNOWS THIS OR THEY WOULDN'T HAVE CREATED A "FIX" FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

DUAL SIDE HEATING AND AIR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ON MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. PASSENGER SIDE IS ICE COLD CONSTANTLY, WHILE MY DRIVER'S SIDE IS WORKING PROPERLY FOR NOW, BUT FOR HOW MUCH LONGER? AFTER A LOT OF READING OF OTHER ARTICLES, THERE SHOULD MOST ABSOLUTELY BE A RECALL, ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE TO PAY THAT KIND OF MONEY TO GET IT FIXED, THEN I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. *TR

NOTICED THAT THE HEAD LIGHTS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY COME ON WHILE THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND SHUT OFF (HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON AUTO) THE RADIO CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD WORK ONCE IN AWHILE THE SAME FOR THE CRUISE CONTROLS PLUS THE HORN DOES NOT WORK AT ALL KNOW DID WORK WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN APRIL 06. I NOTICED WHEN I PLAYED WITH THE TILT STEERING SOMETHING IS WOULD WORK SOME WOULDN'T. I BELIEVE THAT THIS MIGHT AFFECT THE AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING IF IN A WRECK. *TR
