2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IN MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND THEN STOPPED. NOW IT JUST BLOWS OUT COLD AIR EVEN WHEN I HAVE THE HEAT ON. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED AND I CAN'T FIX IT MY SELF. IT IS A CONSTANT NUISANCE. I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS WHERE IT IS FREEZING AND I HAVE TO DRIVE TO WORK IN A FREEZING CAR. MY DEFROSTER DOESN'T EVEN WORK! HALF THE TIME, I AM RIDING AROUND WITH A FOGGED UP WINDSHIELD WHICH ISN'T SAFE AT ALL. *TR

I OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE HEATING WORKS FINE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, BUT ONLY COLD AIR BLOWS FROM THE VENTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY INTERNET REVIEW SUGGESTS THAT IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE I LOSE HEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES ... AND CHRYSLER KNOWS IT. THE FIX IS VERY EXPENSIVE ... BLEND AIR DOOR ACTUATOR, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THIS WILL BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN I AM UNABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL AND FIX! *TR

2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HEATER QUIT WORKING AND MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN COLD WEATHER BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT KEEP WINDOWS DEFROSTED. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

HAVE OWNED VEHICLE FOR 4 YEARS NOW. HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE HEAT NOT WORKING 3 TIMES NOW AND STILL HAVE PROBLEMS (SPENT OVER $1,000.00 IN THIS ALONE) THE WIRES CONNECTING TO THE BLOW BOX GET TO HOT AND MELT THE PLUG & BLOW BOX. WHEN IT FIRST STARTS YOU CAN WIGGLE THE WIRES AND IT WILL WORK FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. ULTIMATELY YOU MUST REPLACE THE PLUG & BLOW BOX. LAST WEEK I WAS PULLED OVER GETTING OFF THE EXPRESS WAY AND A GUY STOPPED ME AND TOLD ME I HAD NO TAIL LIGHTS OR BRAKE LIGHTS. AGAIN THIS WAS ANOTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE TAIL GATE STICKS AND WILL NOT OPEN. *TR

MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WAS OPERATING PERFECTLY, AND APPARENTLY THE "BLEND DOOR" OR SOMETHING IN THE HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM IS MESSED UP. IT STARTS BLOWING COLD AIR FOR NO REASON SOME TIMES, EVEN TO THE POINT OF FOGGING THE WINDSHIELD IN COLD WEATHER. *TR

2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. PASSENGER SIDE VENTS BLOW EXTREMELY COLD AIR, EVEN WITH THE HEAT TURNED ON. WITH NEGATIVE TEMPERATURES THIS PAST WEEK, THIS MAKES DRIVING THE VEHICLE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT IS A KNOWN VEHICLE FLAW AND EXTREMELY COSTLY TO FIX. THIS ISN'T ABOUT COMFORT, BUT ABOUT SAFETY IN WINTER WEATHER!!! *TR
