TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE METAL FRAME UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SEAT SPLIT IN HALF FROM THE BOLT. AS A RESULT, THE SEAT WAS NOT SECURED PROPERLY IN THE VEHICLE. IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT MUST FIND A SEAT OR A FRAME. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST $600 AND NO RECALL WAS AVAILABLE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BOLTS FRACTURED ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT, WHICH CAUSED THE SEAT TO SEPARATE FROM THE FLOOR BRACKET. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE SEAT BRACKET AT THE COST OF $1,000. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

FOR A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THE HEADLIGHT GLASS(OR PLASTIC) HAS A GLOSS ON IT THAT DIMS THE HEADLIGHTS AND I NOTICED IT ON SIMILAR MODELS OF SURROUNDING YEARS. I PURCHASED SEVERAL PRODUCTS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO REMOVE THIS GLAZE, WITHOUT ANY CORRECTION. CHRYSLER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE REGARDING THIS MATTER. *TR

HEATING BLOWER DOORS INOPERATIVE, NO HEAT ON PASS. SIDE. NOT REPAIRED AS YET. *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
