1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

WHEN THE HEAT IS TURNED ON IN MY 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, COLD AIR BLOWS OUT OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE VENTS, FREEZING MY PASSENGERS. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT ALL 1999-2004 GRAND CHEROKEES HAVE, AND JEEP SHOULD PUT OUT A RECALL. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR! *TR

DRIVING 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY 242 (POSTED SPEED LIMIT) A CAR PULLED OUT FROM A STOP SIGN INTO MY PATH. I APPLIED BRAKES AND IMPACTED HIM ON HIS PASSENGER DOOR AREA (SPEED APPROXIMATELY 50MPH). MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I RECEIVED BACK AND KNEE INJURIES THAT ARE STILL A PROBLEM TODAY. *TR

WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM JEEP DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH AC/ HEATING UNIT AND IT HAD BEEN FIXED. NOT LONG AFTER I HAVE NO HEAT AND NO AC COMING OUT OF MY PASSENGER SIDE VENTS. NOW I HAVE NO HEAT OR A.C OUT OF ANY VENTS AND ALL I GET IS OUTSIDE AIR. *TR

HEATER FAILED ON PASSENGER SIDE. TRACED BY REPAIR SHOP TO FAILED HVAC BLEND DOOR. *TR

EVERYTHING THAT LIGHTS UP AS SOON AS I TURN MY CAR ON AND MAKES ALL THE ALERT SOUNDS. THE CAR'S GAUGES, ENGINE, BREAK, ABS, AIR BAG, GAS TANK, THE KEY, ALL LIGHTS UP MAKING THE GAS GAGE GOING UP & DOWN ALL THE TIME AND RINGING LIKE IF I WAS OUT OF GASOLINE, THE RADIO BUTTONS FREEZE. IS BEING 3 MONTHS. MECHANICS CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM, I REPLACED THE BATTERY, CHECK ALL THE FUSES, CHANGE THE KEYS' BATTERIES, AND CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. *TR

I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY HEATING/COOLING IN SPRING 2007. THE A/C WASN'T COLD AND RECHARGING IT ONLY HELPED FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY REPLACED SOMETHING TO KEEP THE AIR COLD. THEN THE FAN STOPPED BLOWING. THE SAME SHOP TOOK IT IN AND GOT THE FANS BLOWING. WINTER 2007 THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT STOPPED WORKING AND BLEW ICE COLD AIR INSTEAD. THE DRIVER'S SIDE BLOWS HOT AIR. THE SHOP SAID THE BLEND DOOR MOTOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE PASSENGER SIDE BLEND DOOR MOTOR REPLACEMENT WOULD REQUIRE REMOVAL OF THE DASH FOR ACCESS. WINTER 2008, AFTER RECENT REPLACEMENT OF THE FAN, I AM NOW DRIVING WITH NO PRESSURE COMING FROM THE VENTS AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR TRICKLING COLD AIR. I'M VERY TIRED OF PAYING FOR THIS. *CN

FAILURE OF CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM - VENTS GET "STUCK" IN THE WRONG POSITION SO THAT SYSTEM HEATS IN THE SUMMER OR WILL NOT HEAT IN THE WINTER. VENTS THAT AIR COMES OUT OF IS NOT CONTROLLABLE WITH NORMAL KNOB POSITIONS. MAY ONLY AFFECT ONE SIDE OF CAR OR MAY AFFECT BOTH. RANDOM BEHAVIOR OVER MANY MONTHS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 68,000.

BRAKE ROTORS WARPING. I HAVE HAD THE ROTOR TURN AND EVEN REPLACED AND YET THE ROTORS SEEM TO WARP. BRAKING IS OFTEN LIGHT NEVER EVER UNDER EMERGENCY CONDITIONS. *CN

ALL OF THE SUDDEN THERE WAS NO AIR BLOWING OUT OF THE INSIDE VENTS, I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO EXPLAINED THAT THE BLOWER QUIT WORKING AND THE LEFT SIDE HEATER QUIT WORKING AS WELL. MY MECHANIC FIXED THE BLOWER BECAUSE IT WAS EASILY ACCESSIBLE AND CHARGED ME $200 TO FIX IT BUT NOT THE HEATER BECAUSE HE EXPLAINED HE WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE WHOLE FRONT DASH AND WILL COST A LABOR A ABOUT $500. I CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHO EXPLAINED THAT SERVICES WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE. I KNOW A LOT OF JEEP OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THESE SAME PROBLEMS. I AM AFRAID CHRYSLER DID NOT EQUIPPED THE VEHICLES WITH HIGH QUALITY BLOWERS AND OR HEATERS. A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER IS NEEDED! *TR
