MY '01 GRAND CHEROKEE A/C AND HEATER IS UNCONTROLLABLE. FAN COMES ON BUT NO AIR FROM VENTS.THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT THAT IS NOT UNCOMMON WITH THIS MODEL.SEVERAL ONLINE SITES SHOW THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED SITUATION.60 K MILES AND JEEP TELLS ME THAT ITS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT HELP.

I AM UNABLE TO HEAT, COOL, DEFROST, OR VENTILATE THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE INCLUDING THE FRONT DEFROST FUNCTION.

I OWN A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 2001. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT AND DEFROSTER DID NOT WORK. THE PROBLEM MOST LIKELY HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WAS NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE WARRANTY EXPIRED SOMETIME IN AUGUST, AND I TURNED THE HEAT ON IN SEPTEMBER. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO COVER ANY COST OF THE REPAIR. ALSO, AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I FOUND OUT IT WAS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP PRODUCTS. REPAIR THE PROBLEM IS EXPENSIVE AND RISKY. AN ATTEMPTED REPAIR COULD CAUSE ELECTRICAL AND COOLANT PROBLEMS. IT SEEMED TO RANGE IN COST FROM $1000.00 TO $2000.00. I RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE IN THE $2000.00 RANGE.

2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO -- EVERY WINDOW REGULATOR HAS BROKEN AT LEAST ONCE. DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. WINDOWS FALL DOWN WHEN REGULATOR FAILS, WHICH IS POTENTIAL BROKEN GLASS HAZARD, ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC (WHICH IS WHY HE REFUSED TO PERMANENTLY WIRE THE WINDOW UP FOR ME). I TOOK OFF THE BACK DOOR PANELS AND WIRED THE WINDOWS UP WITH STEEL WIRE MYSELF TO PREVENT THEM FROM FALLING (AND SAVING ME $800, OR $400 PER WINDOW). BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A TERRIBLE DESIGN, AND NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF AUTO MAINTENANCE DOLLARS TO GET THEIR WINDOWS TO ROLL UP! *TR

THE ENGINE REVVED AT A VERY HIGH RPMS WHEN STARTING. WHEN CHANGING GEARS IT MADE A LOUD CLUNG SOUND AND WANTED TO LUNGE INTO THAT DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER SHIFTED PROPERLY BETWEEN GEARS. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE IT WAS SLIPPING, AND THEN FINDING THE RIGHT GEAR. IT WAS NOT A SMOOTH TRANSMISSION EITHER. SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER 1-1/2 YEARS AGO THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN 15 TIMES. THE DEALERS COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I HAD TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION SENSOR, 02 SENSOR, SUN ROOF, REAR END, AND CD PLAYER. THE HEATER BLEND DOOR HAD TO BE REPLACED , WHICH DIDN'T SOUND EXPENSIVE, BUT THE FIX WAS TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE HEATER PLENUM AND REPLACE THE BROKEN DOOR, STOP AND DRIVE ASSEMBLY. COST $890.00. *AK

THE VEHICLE'S RELAY SWITCH WAS ALSO REPLACED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 102,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

(3) I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE BLEND DOORS WERE BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE ESTIMATED COST WAS $1,400 AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I BOUGHT FROM CHRYSLER DID NOT COVER THE PROBLEM. I AM STILL SAVING UP MONEY SO THAT I CAN HAVE THE REPAIR DONE. THIS HAS CAUSED GREAT DISCOMFORT TO MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS THESE PAST TWO WINTERS. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC BECAUSE THE DRIVER'S SEAT HEATER FAILED. THE ELEMENT PART# 5072486-AB HAD TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THE MECHANIC TOOK THE SEAT APART TO PERFORM THE REPAIR IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE FOAM RUBBER CUSHION BURNED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE BURN WAS CAUSED BY PART # 5072486-AB. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 95,000.*AK UPDATED 07/03/07. *JB
Visibility, Apr 8, 2007
THE HEATER AND DEFROSTER HAVE COMPLETELY MALFUNCTIONED. THIS HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BE UNSAFE IN COLD TEMPERATURES. SUDDEN FOGGING OF THE WINDSHIELD DECREASES VISIBILITY TO NEAR ZERO AND FORCES THE DRIVER TO PULL OVER AND MANUALLY WIPE THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REMEDY. THE AVERAGE COST I HAVE BEEN QUOTED TO FIX HAS BEEN 1485.00. THE ENTIRE DASH, STEERING WHEEL, AIR BAGS ETC. HAVE TO BE REMOVED TO ACCESS THE FAULTY MECHANISM. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF ANY OF THESE MAJOR SAFETY COMPONENTS ARE DAMAGED OR REMOVED/REPLACED IMPROPERLY IT COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS INJURY TO THE OCCUPANTS. THE COST OF THE DEALER REPAIR WILL LEAD SOME TO HAVE THESE FIXED BY UNQUALIFIED TECHNICIANS AND SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WILL ARISE FROM FAULTY AIRBAG AND STEERING COMPONENT REPLACEMENT.*AK

BRAKE ROTORS WENT BAD. VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE WHEN BRAKES APPLIED. NO PROBLEM WITH STOPPING IF PRESSING HARD ENOUGH. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, AND MECHANIC INDICATED ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AFTER TEST DRIVING VEHICLE & FELT THE VIBRATION. I FELT THERE WAS A DESIGN DEFECT AND REQUESTED CHRYSLER REPLACE THE CALIPERS UNDER SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT WAS A DESIGN DEFECT. THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS NOT A DESIGN DEFECT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. WHILE RESEARCHING THE REPAIR, I LEARNED THERE WAS A REDEIGNED CALIPER KIT TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. WHY WOULD THEY GO TO THE EFFORT AND EXPENSE TO REDESIGN A SYSTEN THAT WAS FUNCTIONING WELL? THIS HAPPENED AT 55,000 MILES. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SUCH

2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED; THE BLEND AIR DOOR IS BROKEN. THEREFORE, ONLY COLD AIR BLOWS OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, INCLUDING THE DEFROSTER. KEEPING THE CAR DEFROSTED IN CERTAIN WINTER CONDITIONS IS DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND BASED ON TWO JEEP DEALERS THAT I HAVE TALKED TO (AND VARIOUS INTERNET SITES), THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. *JB
