I have a 2003 jeep grand cherokee on one cold morning i had heat out of the middle vents and cold air out of the passenger vents it was the blend doors that were broken. i took it to the dealer and they took my dash completely apart fixed the doors and put it back together for $650.00. *tr

Jeep grand cherokee hvac blend door has malfunctioned on my vehicle and thousands of others. jeep needs to fix this problem that was caused by a manufacturing defect. *tr
In my 2003 jeep grand cherokee the heat on passenger side would not work. driver side would blow hot air but passenger side would blow cold. i just got it fixed today and the problem was blend air and recirculation doors broken. *nm
Almost immediately after the warranty ran out, the passenger side of the automatic zone control stopped putting out heat, only cold. then about 5000 miles later the entire vehicle stopped putting out heat altogether. this is a very dangerous safety issue due to the fact that there is no way to keep the windshield clear of ice and fog. this makes the vehicle unusable during half of the year. this is a well known, common problem that should have a recall placed for the repair. there has not been any action taken yet to repair this problem because it is so expensive to have repaired. ($800 to $1500). *tr
Heater fails to work on one side of the dash causing great discomfort for the passengers and driver of the vehicle. *jb
In august 2005, passenger side power window regulator failed (lower pulley broke allowing cable to become entangled around motor drum). window fell within door housing and i had to drive vehicle with no side window in a downpour to the dealer. vehicle had approx. 42k miles. dealer refused to repair under warranty in that vehicle has > 36k miles. in may 2006, drivers side power window regulator failed, with the same symptoms. both repairs were funded out of my pocket. *nm
2002 jeep grand cherokee limited v-8 4x4 with climate control. the hvac fan quit functioning. when i took the vehicle into the dealer i purchased it from, i was told, without them doing any teardown, that it was a common occurrence for the hvac wire harness and connector behind the dash to overheat and melt down. with the vehicle being out of warranty, the estimated repair cost in 2005 at over $1200 in labor plus the wiring harness and a set of 3 air doors, i could not then nor now afford repairs and have done without heat or cooling ever since. to eliminate the possibility of a fire from the damaged wiring, i removed the fuse, which i recall to be 40 amps. i strongly feel that possibility of a fire from the overheated wiring is just cause for a recall to replace the wiring harness and related parts damaged by the apparent short circuit caused by the overheating. i also suspect that the cruise control was damaged also as it hasn't functioned properly since. *tr
