2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE BLEND DOORS ON MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL HAVE FAILED. FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE BLEND DOOR FAILED AND WOULD ONLY BLOW COLD AIR, WHILE THE DRIVERS COULD BLOW WARM AIR. NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE BLEND DOOR HAS FAILED AS WELL AND WILL ONLY BLOW COLD AIR. IT COSTS OVER $1000 AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR A BLEND DOOR SINCE IT REQUIRES COMPLETE REMOVAL OF THE DASH ASSEMBLY. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID BLEND DOOR FAILURE IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM SINCE THIS THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFOGGER BECOMES INEFFECTIVE WHEN THE BLEND DOOR IS BROKEN. *JB

A/C SYSTEM BLOWS COLD AIR ONLY DUE TO HIGH FAILURE ITEM KNOWN TO DAIMLER-CHRYSLER. RESULTS IN NO DEFOG DURING COLD WEATHER UNLESS YOU WANT COLD A/C BLOWING DURING THE WINTER WITH SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES. PROBLEM CAN BE ELIMINATED IF YOU BUY A JEEP GRANDE CHEROKEE IN TROPICAL CLIMATES ONLY.

DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL:PASSENGER SIDE HAS NO CONTROL/BLOWS COLD AIR WHEN SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED. COLD AIR FROM ALL PASSENGER VENTS. NO HEAT FOR PASSENGER COMFORT,OR WINDOW DEFOG ON PASSENGER SIDE. *NM

I SEE MY FIRST COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 02 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND. MY SECOND COMPLAINT DIDN'T MAKE IT ON THE LIST. SINCE THEN I'VE HAVE 2 MORE WINDOW REGULATORS GO OUT. WROTE LETTERS TO JEEP AND ANYONE I CAN THINK OF. NO RESPONCES!!! THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WE WERE OUT TO DINNER AND THE WINDOW RIGHT NEXT TO THE INFANT CAR SEAT HAD FALLEN INTO THE DOOR AND A VERY COLD NIGHT IT WAS. ON OUR WAY HOME, THE OTHER WINDOW HAD FALLEN INTO THE DOOR. NOW THERE IS NO WAY TO PROTECT THE BABY IN THE BACK IN THE BABY SEAT STRAPPED IN WITH TWO OPEN WINDOWS BLOWING COLD AIR AT HIM. WHAT IF HIS CAR SEAT WOULD HAVE BEEN STOLEN WHEN WE WERE IN THE RESTAURANT??? HOW WOULD HAVE WE GOT HIM HOME SAFELY. WHAT IF IT HAD BEEN RAINING OR SNOWING ON HIM ALL THE WAY HOME?? WHAT IF I WAS RIDING ALONE AND HAD BEEN CAR JACKED?? WHAT IF WAS REALLY INCLEMENT WEATHER AFFECTING THE INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE ALL THAT NIGHT AND NOT KNOWING THAT THE WINDOWS HAD FALLEN INTO THE DOORS??? I REALLY DON'T FEEL SAFE TAKING THE BABY IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLE WITH ME ANY MORE. WHY DID I PAY SO MUCH MONEY FOR THE "VALUED JEEP" I PURCHASED WHEN SO MUCH IS GOING WRONG WITH IT. I ONLY HAVE 46000 MILES ON IT NOW. CHRYSLER REALLY NEEDS TO STAND UP TO IT'S FAULTS WITH THEIR VEHICLES AND HELP PAY FOR "THEIR" CUSTOMERS THAT TRUST IN THEM!!!!!!!!!! *NM
