THE BLENDER DOORS ON MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S VENTILATION SYSTEM FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. I CAN ONLY GET AIR FLOW FROM THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER VENT. THIS MAKES IF DIFFICULT TO WARM UP THE VEHICLE IN THE WINTER. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH ON THE WEB, THIS TYPE OF FAILURE IS RIDICULOUSLY COMMON ON THIS JEEP MODEL. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED, BUT MY DEALER HAS ALREADY WARNED ME THAT THE REPAIR COSTS WILL BE AT LEAST $500 OR MORE. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THEY HAD ALREADY PERFORMED THE SAME REPAIR ON 2 OTHER JEEPS THIS WINTER. ONCE REPAIRED, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

SEVERAL DIAGNOSTIC CODES REFERRED TO OXYGEN SENSOR PROBLEMS THAT CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO ON AND OFF ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHICH EVENTUALLY LEAD TO THE VEHICLE MISFIRING, WHICH LEAD TO MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND LOSS OF POWER, UNBURNED FUEL, AND STALLING. IT WAS LEARNED THAT THE MANUFACTURER PUT THE WRONG OXYGEN SENSOR ON THE VEHICLE, OXYGEN SENSORS WERE INSTALLED WITH INCORRECT PARTS WHICH COULD CAUSE ENGINE TO LOSE POWER OR STALL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH OR FIRE DUE TO UNBURNED FUEL FROM ONE OR MORE CYLINDER MISFIRE. *TR
