2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH DEFECTIVE BRAKE ROTORS. CUSTOMER STATES THAT SHE HAS HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED AND REPLACED ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. CONSUMER WANTS REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIRS. *KB

THE HVAC BLEND DOORS ON MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (WJ) OVERLAND FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 88, 000 MILES CAUSING A LOSS OF HEAT AND DEFROST ABILITIES. DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE VEHICLE IT WILL REQUIRE A TRAINED MECHANIC A QUOTED SEVEN HOURS OF LABOR TO REPLACE A PLASTIC PART WHICH HAS FAILED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, THE LOSS OF DEFROST ABILITY, THAT JEEP MANUFACTURES HAVE BEEN AWARE OF AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED SO THAT THESE JEEPS, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE MAY BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE CURRENT JEEP OWNER. *TR

MY CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM ONLY PROVIDES COLD AIR. WHEN THE HEAT FAILED IT CAUSED A RAPID FOGGING OF THE WINDSHIELD SINCE THE DEFROSTER WENT FROM HOT TO COLD. *TR

I OWN A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND WITH 60,000 MILES. THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WERE (1) RAPID FOGGING OF FRONT WINDSHIELD,(2) FOGGING OF FRONT PASSENGER WINDOWS,(3) FAILURE OF PASSENGER HEAT AND DRIVER HEAT FUNCTION, AND (4) ONLY COLD AIR RELEASE ON BOTH SIDES OF JEEP. CONSEQUENTLY,(1) THE WINDSHIELD AND FRONT WINDOWS DO NOT DEFOG, AND (2) NO HEAT WHATSOEVER COMES FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR AND DASHBOARD VENTILATION SYSTEM. TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, A "BLEND AIR DOOR" IS NECESSARY AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1,200 INCLUSIVE OF 7 HOURS OF LABOR. ACCORDING TO THE CERTIFIED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND ONLINE FORUMS, THIS HAS BECOME A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2000-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITEDS WITH DUEL ZONE VENTILATION SYSTEMS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE VENT VALVE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE VENT VALVE AND THERE WERE NO FURTHER OCCURRENCES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 01V348000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING: EXHAUST SYSTEM: EMISSION CONTROL). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,870 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93,100.

MY 2002 GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED BLOWS COLD ON PASS. SIDE AND HOT ON DRIVER SIDE. IT HAS DONE THIS FOR SOME TIME. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY JEEPS DOING THIS. PLEASE HELP.... *TR

MY JEEP 2000 GRAND CHEROKEE SUDDENLY WILL PRODUCE NO HEAT, THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THE WINDOWS WILL NOT DEFOG AND CAN CREATE SERIOUS VISIBILITY PROBLEMS. THE HEATING SYSTEM WILL ONLY BLOW COLD AIR, WHICH CAN SUDDENLY CREATE CONDENSATION ON THE WINDOW AND ENTIRELY OBSCURE VISIBILITY. THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE, IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. UPON A SHORT BIT OF RESEARCH, IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S FROM 2000-2004 AND JEEP WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT EVEN THOUGH THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS ARE HAVING THIS SAME SAFETY PROBLEM HAPPEN TO THEM. *TR

WE OWN A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE HEATING SYSTEM STOPPED BLOWING HOT AIR. WHEN WE TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED US THAT THE BLEND DOORS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE JEEPS AND THAT COST TO REPAIR IT WOULD BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $1200. APPARENTLY THE ENTIRE DASH NEEDS TO BE REMOVED AND THIS TAKES 6HRS OF LABOR TO ACCOMPLISH. *TR

THE HEATER HAS STOPPED WORKING BLOWING ONLY COLD AIR OUT OF THE VENTS, DOESN'T PROPERLY DEFROST WINDOWS, SO WHEN DRIVING ON COLD DAYS THE WINDOW FOGS UP CAUSING A HAZARD, VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE, ALMOST HIT SOME OTHER CARS BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF VISIBILITY. NOT TO MENTION DRIVING IN A FREEZING CAR WITH MY YOUNG CHILD. *TR

HEAT NOT WORKING ON DRIVER'S SIDE OF CAR. BLOWER WORKS SPORADICALLY AND WHEN IT DOES WORK, COLD AIR COMING OUT OF DRIVER AND CENTER BLOWERS. HEAT DOES COME OUT PASSENGER SIDE. WITHOUT DEFROST CANNOT DRIVE VEHICLE IN THE COLD. HAD TO BRING IN FOR SERVICE, JUST GOT $900 ESTIMATE TO REPLACE BLEND DOOR AND ACTUATOR. HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY THIS DUE TO THE CLIMATE I LIVE IN. THIS 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS 71,00 MILES ON IT. *TR
