2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Complaint Log

DRIVER SEAT IS BROKEN, SEAT LEANS TO THE BACK AND RIGHT. *TR

THE AIR BLEND DOOR MALFUNCTIONS. NO HVAC FROM PASSENGER SIDE.*TR

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. UPDATED 04-23-09 *BF UPDATED 04/30/09.*JB

THE HEAT DOES NOT WORK TO CONTROL THE DEFROST. WHEN THERE IS NO FROST IT IS HARD TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. PEOPLE SAY THE BLEND DOORS ARE BAD IN THE AC/HEATER BOX. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY WINDOW JUST FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

MY 2001 JEEP ACCELERATES WHEN STOPPING AND HAS A SLOW TAKE OFF WHEN ACCELERATING. I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE JEEP ACCELERATED. I HAD TO AGAIN APPLY THE BRAKES. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO STOP. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT HAS COME ON AND A GAS CAP WAS REPLACED WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED BUT NOW THE ACCELERATIONS HAVE STARTED AGAIN. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR CLOSE TO ANY OTHER CAR BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THE JEEP WILL JUST TAKE OFF. ALSO, THE SHIFT GEAR SLIPS EASILY I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT TOUCHING THE SHIFT WHILE DRIVING. HAS ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS BEEN FILED CONCERNING THE ACCELERATIONS WHEN STOPPING IN THE 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES? *TR

BLEND DOORS BROKEN.... ONLY HEAT FROM ONE SIDE! *TR

MY DRIVERS SIDE SEAT ON MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO HAS BROKEN. 3 OF THE 4 BRACKETS WHICH ARE ATTACHED TO THE SEAT FRAME HAVE SHEERED. THE RESULT OF THIS IS THAT MY SEAT IS ONLY ATTACHED TO MY CAR BY ONE BRACKET, IN AN ACCIDENT THIS BRACKET MAY NOT ADEQUATELY HOLD THE SEAT IN PLACE. WHEN MAKING A TURN THE SEAT SHIFTS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THE ONLY REMEDY BEING BUYING A NEW SEAT, OR MAKING A DO IT YOURSELF WELD TO REATTACH THE SEAT TO THE SEAT FRAME OR PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE. IN MY INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF I COULD GET A REPLACEMENT SEAT I FOUND THIS SITE HTTP://VLANE.COM/POLL/30. HERE OVER 98% OF THE RESPONDENTS HAVE FACED THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM. THERE LOOK TO BE AROUND 100 RESPONDENTS TO THIS QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED. TO TRACK DOWN THIS SITE TOOK A RATHER LONG TIME, AND MY CONCERN IS HOW UNDER REPORTED THIS SITUATION MAY BE. THIS PROBLEM HAS STILL NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND HONESTLY I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 65 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED FLUID LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. SHE THEN HEARD A LOUD BOOM COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT HAYWIRE. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHE PLACED WATER IN THE RADIATOR IN ORDER TO DRIVE TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE COOLING FAN SEPARATED AND DAMAGED THE RADIATOR. THE COOLING FAN MODULE, RADIATOR, AND FAN CLUTCH WERE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,162 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000. UPDATED 3/5/09 *CN UPDATED 03/10/09. *JB

DRIVERS SEAT ON 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THE BASE HAS BROKEN AND NO RESPONSE FROM DEALER OR CHRYSLER. THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENTS FOR THESE SEATS I HAVE LOOKED FOR MONTHS. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER HE QUOTED ALMOST 800 TO REPAIR IF THEY COULD FIND THE PARTS. *TR

2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. LEAKING COOLANT. REPLACED WATER PUMP AND HOSES. CONTINUED TO LEAK, OIL PRESSURE DROPS AT IDLE AND RECENTLY COOLANT HAS BEEN FOUND MIXED WITH THE OIL. THE HEAD IS CRACKED AND ALLOWING COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE OIL. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN JEEP HEADS CAST AROUND 2000.

I OWN GENE'S AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN REPAIRING VEHICLES FOR OVER 40 YEARS. MY CUSTOMER BROUGHT IN HIS 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR A BRAKE CHECK DUE TO SQUEALING. THE PADS WERE FINE, BUT I NOTICED A LOT OF RUSTY DUST. I WAS GOING TO REMOVE THE CALIPER ANCHOR PINS TO GREASE THEM AND FOUND THEM SEIZED IN THE BORE. PRIOR TO THIS, I TEST DROVE THE JEEP AND NOTICED THE BRAKES DIDN'T SEEM TO BE SLOWING AS FAST AS I FELT IT SHOULD. THE SEIZED PINS ARE THE REASON FOR THIS BECAUSE AS THE PADS WEAR, THE PINS SHOULD SLIDE INWARD TO ACCOMMODATE THE WEAR. IF THIS PROBLEM HAD CONTINUED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, I SUSPECT THE ANCHOR PINS WOULD EVENTUALLY BEND OR SHEAR OFF UNDER THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE FROM THE CALIPER. IF THE ANGLE WERE TO GET SEVERE ENOUGH, I BELIEVE IT WOULD SEIZE THE PISTON IN THE BORE. THE CAUSE OF THIS IS POSSIBLY WATER INTRUSION PAST THE ANCHOR PIN SEAL. I BELIEVE THIS DESIGN IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE REDESIGNED. *TR

2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SEAT SNAPS AND BREAKS WHILE DRIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AND BY THE LOOKS ON THE INTERNET ITS VERY VERY COMMON. *TR

1-I BOUGHT THE JEEP 4/2008. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER, A WINDOW STOPPED WORKING. I GOT THE REGULATOR FIXED. SOON AFTER THAT, ANOTHER WINDOW STOPPED. I GOT THAT ONE FIXED. EVERY TIME I GET ONE FIXED ANOTHER BREAKS. NOW I HAVE 2 WINDOWS NOT WORKING. 2-WHENEVER I TURN A CORNER, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WHEELS ARE SCRAPING AGAINST SOMETHING. 3-SOON AFTER I BOUGHT THE JEEP, WHENEVER IT GETS WET AND I TURN CORNERS, THERE IS A SOUND COMING THE FRONT LIKE ITS THE AXLE OR SOMETHING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL PEOPLE/DEALERS AND NO ONE CAN FIND OUT WHY. THEY TEST DRIVE IT AND HEAR IT, LOOK UNDERNEATH AND STILL CANT FIND OUT WHY OR WHERE THE SOUND IS COMING FROM. *TR

WINDOW REGULATORS IN THIS CAR HAVE BROKEN TWICE IN LESS THAN A YEAR AND COST $550 TO HAVE REPAIRED. I HAD ONE REPAIRED IN SEPT 07. I CAN'T AFFORD THIS AND AM DRIVING WITH PLASTIC ON MY SECOND WINDOW THIS HAPPENED TOO. THE WINDOWS JUST DROP AS I'M DRIVING AT 60MPH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN VIBRATING. DURING ACCELERATION, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE UNCONTROLLABLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT AUTO SERVICE AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE PISTON IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAD LOCKED UP ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE ROTORS, PADS, AND CALIPERS WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS VERY CONCERNED OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,300 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,400.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SUDDENLY DROPPED INTO THE DOOR FRAME. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING, I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW BEGAN TO LOWER ITSELF WITHOUT ME ACTIVATING THE SWITCH. I ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THE SWITCH TO MAKE IT GO UP WHICH DIDN'T WORK. THE WINDOW THEN PROCEEDED TO LOWER ITSELF INTO THE DOOR AND WOULD NOT RETURN TO THE UP POSITION. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAD FAILED AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. THE REGULATOR WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF NEARLY $500.00. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. I RETURNED TO MY CAR AFTER PARKING IT OVER NIGHT ONLY TO FIND THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WAS OPEN ABOUT 3 INCHES. I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE WINDOW AND HAD NO RESPONSE FROM PUSHING THE BUTTON UP. THE WINDOW WOULD HOWEVER OPERATE IN THE DOWNWARD POSITION BUT WOULD NOT GO UP. I RETURNED TO MY MECHANIC WHO ADVISED ME THAT THE SAME CONDITION AS THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAD OCCURRED. $500.00 LATER I WAS BACK ON THE ROAD. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING AFTER READING COUNTLESS "BLOGS" ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A CHRONIC ISSUE AND THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER IS FULLY AWARE OF IT YET CONTINUES TO IGNORE IT. *TR

REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY BROKE IN 06, FRONT DRIVER WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY BROKE IN 07 AND NOW FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY BROKE IN 08. I HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY, FOUND THAT PLASTIC BLOCK THAT HOLDS THE CABLES TO THE SLIDE TRACK BROKE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW ON THE ASSEMBLIES, THE PLASTIC BLOCK GETS OLD, WORN AND JUST CRACKS OR BREAKS WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE WINDOW WILL JUST DROP INSIDE THE DOOR, AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING. I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THESE WINDOW REGULATORS AS SOMEONE COULD GET HURT. I HAVE THE BROKEN OEM ONE THAT I JUST REPLACED IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO INSPECT IT. BEST REGARDS CHRISTIFER RADLEY *TR

I BOUGHT MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN 2005 AS A USED VEHICLE WITH NO KNOW PROBLEMS ON MY CAR FAX REPORT. HAS ONLY HAD ONE OTHER OWNER. THIS IS NOW THE 4TH TIME I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE COOLING FAN RELAY REPLACED! IM SICK OF THIS AND HAVE HEARD FROM AUTO SHOPS AND DEALERS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM.... JEEP SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. IT SEEMS TO GO OUT ABOUT EVERY 6 MONTHS. I CAN'T KEEP AFFORDING THIS. IT IS RIDICULOUS. YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE WHOLE FRONT END TO GET TO THE RELAY TO REPLACE IT AND THAT IN LABOR COSTS CAN COST A FORTUNE ON ITS OWN FOR A $90.00 PIECE TO BE REPLACED. MY TRUCK HAS NOW OVER HEATED 4 TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS LITTLE FUSE FAILING. DUE TO THE OVER HEATING I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WATER PUMP 2 TIMES. I LOVE JEEPS BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR IT TO KEEP NICKEL AND DIMING ME TO DEATH. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO GET RESOLVED. *TR

HEAT DOES NOT WORK ON MY 2001 JEEP GRAN CHEROKEE. SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FIX($1300)!!! *TR

DRIVER SIDE SEAT SNAPPED FROM TRACK ASSEMBLY WHILE DRIVING CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. NO ACCIDENT RESULTED AS I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TODAY AND MY WINDSHIELD BEGAN TO FOG I TURNED DEFROSTER ON HI HEAT AND ALL IT DID WAS BLOW COLD AIR AND IT MADE WINDSHIELD WORSE. I ALMOST CRASHED!!! *TR

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL IN JAN 2008 HAD REPAIR SHOP PULL WINDOW BACK UP - THEY HAD "REPLACED MANY JEEP REGULATORS"; LEFT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL APR 2008 HAD FRIEND WIRE IT UP IN PLACE BECAUSE COULDN'T AFFORD PART/REPAIR. *TR

BLEND DOORS IN MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAVE GONE OUT. *TR

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

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

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

BLEND DOORS IN THE HEATING SYSTEM WILL NO LONGER FUNCTION CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE DEFROSTER NOT WORKING IN THE MORNING. I HAVE HAD THIS REPLACED ONCE ALREADY AND IT IS MALFUNCTIONING ONCE AGAIN. *TR

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

HVAC SYSTEM QUIT WORKING PROPERLY. NO HEAT,NO DEFROST. WINDOWS FOGGED/ICED UP SO THAT VISION WAS IMPAIRED AND SAFETY WAS DEFINITELY COMPROMISED(MINE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD)HAD DEALER REPAIR BLEND DOOR UNITS(4 PARTS REQUIRED AND COMPLETE REMOVAL OF DASH)AT $1200. *TR

LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED AND THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR & RECIRC. DOOR HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT OVER $1,000.00. NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED AT THE SELLING DEALER 14 MONTHS AGO FOR $2,784.00. (AVONDLE CHRYSLER JEEP, AVONDALE AZ). *TR

FIRST OF ALL, I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO HAVE THIS COMPLAINT. MY DRIVERS SEAT IS BROKEN ON MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. UPON RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS IN NO WAY UNIQUE TO ME. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! I DEMAND A RECALL, OR AT LEAST COMPENSATION FOR PAYING TO HAVE MY SEAT REPLACED. IF I WERE THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM, I WOULD UNDERSTAND, BUT EVERY PERSON THAT I'VE TALKED TO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS EXACT SAME SEAT. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH BUYING AMERICAN CARS. UNLESS I GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED, REST ASSURED THAT I WILL NEVER EVER BUY AN AMERICAN CAR AGAIN. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, I WANT THIS FIXED. I WILL BE WRITING MY SENATORS. *TR

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT BLOW HOT AIR OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE ONLY COLD. THE BLEND DOORS ARE BROKEN. HARD TO DEFROST A WINDSHIELD WITH NO HEAT, HARD TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

I CANNOT SEE THE ROAD BECAUSE MY DEFOGGER IS BROKEN. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 138,131 MILES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE STALLED AND HE WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED. THE JEEP DEALER STATED THAT THERE THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE STALLING. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 138,120 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 138,131.

BLEND DOOR FAILURE ON MY '01 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE AFTER 79000 MILES RESULTING IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF REPAIRS. HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT TRANSMISSION SINCE I GOT THE NEW CAR AND JEEP KEPT SAYING "IT WAS NORMAL" THEY EVEN HAD A PERIOD OF TIME WHEN THEY EXTENDED THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES WHICH MY CAR MISSED BY 65 DAYS. I ALSO SEE TOO MANY BLEND DOOR ISSUES THAT JEEP NEEDS TO ADDRESS VS. ME PAYING $850.00 FOR. *TR

HEATER JUST STOPPED WORKING. HAVE A/C BUT NO HEAT. *TR

THE BLEND DOOR FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED HAS SNAPPED IN 2 PIECES. THE JEEP HAS 56K MILES ON IT. IT IS PRACTICALLY NEW. I HAVE TRIED TO REPAIR THE DOOR ITSELF 2 TIMES NOW. PULLING THE ENTIRE DASH AFTER HAVING THE A/C SYSTEM DRAINED. THE REPLACEMENT DOORS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT ANY OF THE 3 LOCAL DEALERSHIPS. THERE ARE NO OTHER REPLACEMENTS AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED JEEP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO HELP ME. THE BOOK HOURS FOR THIS JOB ARE LISTED AS 12 BOOK HOURS. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANYONE WITH THIS BODY STYLE OF JEEP THAT HAS NOT HAD THIS TROUBLE. WILL NO ONE HELP IN THIS MATTER??? THE VEHICLE CANNOT HEAT PROPERLY NOR DEFROST THE WINDOWS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

2001 JEEP GRAND CHEORKEE DEFROST AND HEAT STOPPED WORKING. BLEND DOORS AND ACTUATORS HAD TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH RECIRC DOOR. $1500+ IN PARTS AND LABOR WAS TOLD BY DEALER THIS HAPPENS TO ALL JEEPS 99-04. *TR

DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL BLEN DOORS. BOTH SIDES OF THE DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL WILL ONLY BLOW OUT COLD AIR. THIS IS DUE TO YOUR FAILURE. *TR

MALFUNCTIONING AIR CONDITIONER BLENDED DIVERTERS. I HAVE THE 2001 LAREDO AND MY A/C DIRECTIONAL BLENDERS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE THE MANUAL SYSTEM WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY LESS COMPLICATED BUT IT SEEMS EVEN THE SIMPLE ONES MALFUNCTION. *TR I ONLY HAVE 65,000 MILES.

MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WILL NOT PROVIDE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, ONLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL SHORT AND THE ENTIRE SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE RADIO WILL RESET AND START. IN ADDITION THE FUEL SYSTEM IS RELUCTANT TO PUMP FUEL TO THE ENGINE ON A COLD START. THE DEALERSHIPS ADVISED ME THAT THE CAR IS NOT BUILT TO LAST FOREVER AND THE FUEL ISSUE AND HEATING ISSUE WAS TYPICAL. THE EXPENSE HOWEVER WOULD BE EXTREME FOR THE HEATING AND FUEL ISSUES TO BE $800 TO $1200 FOR EACH REPAIR. *TR

ELECTRIC WINDOWS KEEP BREAKING- 4 TIMES NOW IN SAME VEHICLE- ONE WINDOW MECHANISM HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE NOW. FIRST TIME IT MALFUNCTIONED, THE WINDOW AUTOMATICALLY ROLLED ALL THE WAY UP, THEN MADE LOUD CLUNK SOUND AND WINDOW DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS SOMEONE'S ARM COULD GET STUCK WITH THE WINDOW ROLLING UP ON ITS OWN AS WELL AS HAVING BACK WINDOWS FALL ALL THE WAY DOWN WHEN MY YOUNG DAUGHTER IS IN THE REAR SEAT. *TR
