2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL HEATER AND DEFROST ONLY WORKS ON ONE SIDE OF VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAYS IT WILL COST $1200.00 TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE BLEND DOORS ON THE SYSTEM.

I OWN A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL. WHENEVER I TRY AND USE THE HEAT IT DOES NOT WORK, I HAVE NO FRONT DEFROST FOR MY WINDSHIELD. THE ONLY AIR COMING OUT OF MY HEATING SYSTEM IS COLD AIR. IT IS BECAUSE OF A FAULTY BLEND AIR DOOR. THIS CAN BE A DANGEROUS PROBLEM IF IN THE COLD WEATHER THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP, THERE IS NO WAY TO DEFROST IT. VISIBILITY: DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER. *TR

I OWN A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED AND THOUGH THE BLOWER MOTOR WORKS THE DUAL HEATER/ BLEND DOORS STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS A COOL NIGHT IN MICHIGAN AND THE WINDSHIELD QUICKLY FOGGED UP WITH NO LUCK OF CLEARING UP BECAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION. I IMMEDIATELY ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN AND HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH MY HEAD STICKING OUT OF THE WINDOW TO SEE. ALSO THE NEXT MORNING ON A SUNNY DAY THE SAME EVENT HAPPENED WITH THE WINDOWS FOGGED AND SUN DIRECTLY SHINING ON ME I COULD NOT EVEN SEE ONE THING. A PERSON COULD WIPE THE INSIDE OF THE WINDOWS OFF WITH LITTLE IMPROVEMENT OF VISIBILITY. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL THE VEHICLE OVER FOR FEAR OF HITTING SOMEONE OR ANOTHER CAR DISCONTINUED DRIVING IT. THIS IS SUCH A DANGEROUS FAILURE. I DISCUSSED IT WITH AN AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEER AND WAS TOLD IT IS DEFECTIVE PART IN ENGINEERING BY CHRYSLER. BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE HERE SHOULD NOT THIS BE RECALLED! EVEN THOUGH I REPLIED NO TO YOUR 4 QUESTIONS ON THE RIGHT THE REALITY IS A YES COULD BE APPLIED TO 3 OF THE 4 IF I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITHOUT A DOUBT. I RECOGNIZED IMMEDIATELY THE DANGER OF THIS SITUATION TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD AND PULLED OVER WITHOUT HESITATION. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, AND A FEW WEEKS LATER I GOT UP IN THE MORNING AND IT WAS COLD SO I TURNED ON MY HEATER. UNFORTUNATELY I GOT NO HEAT. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE BLEND DOORS ON MY VEHICLE WERE BROKEN. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE ABSOLUTE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. NOW IF IT WERE JUST A COMFORT ISSUE, I COULD LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT, BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT THE DEFROSTERS RUN THROUGH THE HEATER CORE. THEREFORE IS THE BLEND DOORS ARE BROKEN, YOU HAVE NO WAY TO CLEAR YOUR WINDSHIELD. SINCE I LIVE IN UTAH, THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE TO HAVE. ALTHOUGH THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES, THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL MADE. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WILL END UP HAVING TO PAY A DEALERSHIP $1500 TO FIX THEIR DEFECTIVE PARTS. *TR

THE FAILURE IM HAVING IS WITH THE BLEND DOORS, FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE DRIVING IN COLD CLIMATES YOUR DEFROST BLOWS COLD AIR ONTO THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN COLD CLIMATES, I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT I DIDN'T WRECK OR HIT ANYBODY ELSE ON THE ROAD, IN MY HONEST OPINION THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, IF YOU THINK IT ISN'T A PROBLEM MR.CHRYSLER I WILL PERSONAL DRIVE TO CORPORATE H.Q. AND HAND YOU THE KEYS AND SEE FOR YOURSELF,BETTER YET WHY DON'T YOU PUT YOUR FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE AND GO FOR A RIDE,AND THEN YOU BE THE JUDGE IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ...MY GUESS IS YOU PROBABLY WILL. *TR

THE BLEND DOORS ON MY JEEP DO NOT WORK. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM FOR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S. BOTH A DEALER MECHANIC, AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HAVE TOLD ME THE THAT ALMOST ALL GRAND CHEROKEES WILL EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED - IT IS SIMPLY A DESIGN FLAW. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NO SPECIFIC COMPLAINT CHOICE ON THIS FORM FOR HEATING, SO PEOPLE ARE CLASSIFYING THIS AS EITHER VISIBILITY ISSUES OR ENGINE COOLING ISSUES. HOPEFULLY SOMEONE AT NHTSA WILL FIND THE COMMON THREAD OF DEFECTIVE BLEND DOORS - AND NO HEAT. *TR

I DON'T HAVE AN APPROXIMATE DATE ON THE FAILURE. IT DID JUST START RECENTLY. MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS NO HEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS IS DUE TO FAULTY BLEND DOORS AND RECIRC DOORS (AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON WJ JEEPS. ON MY RIDE HOME TONIGHT (BELOW FREEZING WEATHER), I BECAME VERY HYPOTHERMIC. EVEN AFTER HOT SHOWER, I AM STILL SUFFERING EFFECTS. ALSO, ON A PREVIOUS OCCASION, MY FRONT WINDOW FORMED ICE, AND HAD TO PULL OVER. THERE WAS NO HEAT ON DEFROST. DIDN'T HELP THAT IT WAS DARK AT 0500, AND SNOWING QUITE HARD. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT BRUSH IT ASIDE AS MERELY A COMFORT ISSUE. I GUESS THAT IS AN EASY STATEMENT TO MAKE FROM A WARM OFFICE AND NOT IN AN ACTUAL CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM IN RURAL MONTANA IN ONE OF OUR HARDEST WINTERS. *TR

MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BLOWS ONLY COLD AIR ON DRIVERS SIDE. CURRENTLY WE ARE IN BELOW FREEZING CONDITIONS IN MONTANA. APPARENTLY, AFTER LOOKING THIS UP ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, FOR WHICH THE JEEP DEALER WILL CHARGE UPWARDS OF A THOUSAND DOLLARS. FROM MY RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE IN WJ JEEPS. SINCE MY TEETH WERE CHATTERING, AND BODY SHAKING, I WOULD SAY I WAS SEVERELY HYPOTHERMIA. NOT A GOOD TIME OF YEAR FOR HEAT TO GO OUT BECAUSE OF VERY BAD ENGINEERING. I WOULDN'T EVEN MIND PAYING A LITTLE MONEY, BUT IT COSTS A FORTUNE BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO PULL THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD OUT TO FIX IT. AND THEY WANT A BAILOUT PACKAGE? *TR

RESEARCH HAS SHOWN ALL 1999-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES WITH ELECTRONIC DUAL CLIMATE CONTROLS WILL EVENTUALLY REQUIRE MAJOR REPAIR IN ORDER TO CURE HOT AIR/COLD AIR BLOWING FROM VENTS WHEN THEY'RE NOT SET TO DO SO. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE, WHICH HAS BEEN KNOWN TO POP UP AGAIN AFTER ANOTHER 50K MILES AFTER REPAIR, IS GENERALLY $800-$1500 FROM A DEALERSHIP.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS NO HEAT COMING FROM THE VENTS LOCATED UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD. THE PLASTIC VENT DOORS ARE INOPERABLE; THEREFORE, COLD AIR ENTERS FROM THE OUTSIDE AND FREEZES THE WINDSHIELD. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST $1,800. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURES WERE VERY COMMON WITH HIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, SNOW AND ICE ON THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT MELT DUE TO THE LACK OF HEAT COMING FROM THE VENT UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.
