2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THERE WAS NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO BLEND DOOR FAILURE. THEREFORE DEFROSTING THE WINDSHIELD PROPERLY WAS NOT POSSIBLE. THIS WAS FOLLOWED SHORTLY BY A LEAKING HEATER CORE WHICH FILLED THE CAR WITH COOLANT MIST DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. THE BLEND DOORS ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE HEATER CORE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS. *JB

MY VEHICLE, JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2001 LIMITED ADDITION WITH AROUND 47,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER PERFORMED SATISFACTORILY UNTIL THIS MORNING WHEN MY WIFE WAS RETURNING FROM THE USUAL DROP-OFF OF MY SON TO THE PRESCHOOL. AS SHE WAS WAITING FOR THE GARAGE DOOR OF THE APARTMENT COMPLEX WHERE WE LIVE WHILE HER FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR SUDDENLY SHOT UP AND CRASHED THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR AND CAME TO COMPLETE STOP 20 FEET FROM THE GATE. THIS HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE, FORTUNATELY, DID NOT CAUSE ANY PHYSICAL INJURY TO MY WIFE AND MY 15 MONTHS DAUGHTER SECURED IN THE BACK SEAT. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO INCOMING CAR NOR PEOPLE INJURED. HOWEVER, WE ARE AFRAID THAT THE VEHICLE WHICH SUSTAINED MAJOR DAMAGES TO THE BODY WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY MORE PEACE OF MIND. IT IS DEFINITIVELY A WAKE-UP CALL FOR US TO SEARCH A MORE SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. *JB

THE DEFROSTER DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY DUE TO THE BLEND DOORS FAILING TO OPEN WHEN NEEDED. I SEE THIS AS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE IN COLD/ICY WEATHER HERE IN NEW ENGLAND. IT SEEM TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE JEEP SERVICE PEOPLE AND OTHER GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS. *JB

AIR ONLY BLOWS ONE SPEED ONLY AT CONSTANT SPEED WHEN ACCELERATING AND CUTS OFF WHEN BRAKING. THE AIR ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR AND THE TEMP CAN NOT BE CHANGED. THE AIR/HEAT STARTED TO NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FIRST THEN REACHED THE DRIVERS SIDE. THERE IS LOUD CREAKING NOISES COMING FROM THE DASH WHEN THE UNIT IS TURNED ON OR WHEN THE CAR IS CUT OFF. IT CAN EVEN BE HEARD OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE PULSATED, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHERE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED HOWEVER; THE PROBLEM RECURRED.

2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BLOWING COLD AIR AND MAKING CRACKING SOUNDS FROM THE DASH. CAN NOT AT TIMES STOP THE COLD AIR COMING FROM DASH AND VENTS. *NM

BLEND AIR DOORS FOR AC/HEAT FAIL AND CAUSE LOSS OF HEAT AND WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP. BEEN SERVICED AND REPLACED TWICE ALONG WITH AC/HEAT CONTROLLER. *JB

MY HEATER AND DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM RELATED TO THE BLEND DOOR FAILURE WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES WITH DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN ICY WEATHER. *JB
