2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS THE HVAC BLEND DOOR PROBLEM. IT BLOWS NOTHING BUT COLD AIR AND I COULD NOT DEFROST OR SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. I AM SURE THIS WILL RESULT IN DEATH, INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, AS I DO NOT HAVE THE $1500.00 TO REPAIR AND WINTER IS HERE. A SAFETY RECALL NEEDS TO BE PUT INTO EFFECT ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR

MY '01 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S HEATER STOPPED WORKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT ONLY BLEW IN COLD AIR. I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND IT WAS A BLEND DOOR FAILURE. LEADING UP TO IT, I HAD NOTICED AN ODD SOUND COMING FROM THE HVAC AFTER I TURNED MY ENGINE OFF, BUT IGNORED IT AS IT WORKED PROPERLY. THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS NOW STOPPED WORKING. SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, THERE IS APPARENTLY A TSB #24-001-04 CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. IF IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM, IT SHOULD NOT SIMPLY BE AN INFORMATIONAL TSB, BUT RATHER A RECALL. PLEASE HELP EVERYONE HERE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE HEATER FAILED AND SEVERAL MONTHS LATER THE DRIVER SIDE ALSO FAILED. SO ENTIRE CAR BLOWS COLD AIR. NO HEAT FOR THE DEFROSTER. DEALER SAYS THE HEATER BLEND DOORS AND ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED. THE FIX IS TO THE TUNE OF $1600. *TR

BLEND DOOR IN MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS BROKEN. COLD AIR BLOWN THROUGH ALL THE VENT. CHRYSLER HAS ALWAYS BEEN AWARE OF THIS DEFECT WHICH HAS EFFECTED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF JEEP GC OWNERS WITH A TYPICAL $1300 TO REPAIR. *TR

2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAVE SPENT OVER $3000.00 TO FIX A COOLANT LOW LIGHT THAT KEEPS COMING ON AND LOW OIL PRESSURE. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS DESPITE TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND SOMEONE ELSE TO FIGURE OUT THE SOURCE. NO LEAK. REPLACED EVERYTHING FROM WATER PUMP TO FAN. THIS ABSOLUTELY HAS TO BE AN ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE FOR AN ANSWER, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY JEEP. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR 2 YEARS. *TR

1. EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE: WINDOWS FAIL TO DEFROST AND DEFOG. 2. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY HEAT OR HEATED DEFROST ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. 3. DEALER WANTS $1,200 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS NOW HAD ALL FOUR WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL WITH NO APPARENT REASON WITH AN ACCUMULATED REPAIR COST TOPPING $1300. MOST RECENTLY, THE REGULATOR ON THE WINDOW NEXT TO MY INFANT SON FAILED WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE DURING AN INTENSE THUNDERSTORM, CAUSING THE WINDOW TO FALL INTO THE DOOR AND SOAKING MY CHILD-QUITE A DISTRACTION AT 70MPH. *TR

FIRST, WHEN I TRIED TO USE THE HEAT, ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE WOULD BLOW WARM AIR WHILE THE DRIVER SIDE WAS COLD. THAT LASTED ABOUT A MONTH, THEN NO WARM AIR AT ALL. THAT WAS THE WINTER OF 2007. THEN DURING THE SUMMER OF 2008, MY A/C STOPPED BLOWING ANY KIND OF AIR THROUGH THE VENTS NO MATTER WHAT SETTING I USED. THE SYSTEM WORKS AS FAR AS THE BLOWER MOTOR AND COOLING THE AIR GOES, IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE IT OUT OF THE VENTS WHAT SO EVER. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW REGARDING THE BLEND/RECIRCULATION DOORS IN THE HVAC SYSTEM. *TR

THE PASSENGER WINDOW JUST FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE TOLLWAY AT 65MPH. THIS IS THE SECOND WINDOW FAILURE THAT I HAVE HAD ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS A 400. TO 500. DOLLAR REPAIR AND A RECALL SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP/CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. *TR

VISIBILITY: DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER THE BLEND DOORS ON THE 2001 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED BREAK CAUSING A NO HEAT CONDITION WHICH WILL NOT DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD IN THE WINTER CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. *TR
