2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

AFTER OWNING THE CAR FOR A YEAR THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HEAT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. WE TOOK IT IN TO GET IT DIAGNOSED. THEY TOLD US IT WAS THE BLEND DOOR AND THEY ESTIMATED $500 PLUS. THE MECHANIC SAID THIS WASN'T THE FIRST TIME HE'D SEEN THIS, THAT'S HOW HE WAS SO EASILY ABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT AS A BLEND DOOR PROBLEM. *TR

I ONLY GWT HEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THEIR IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH 1998-2004 JEEPS WHERE THE AC BLEND DOOR BREAKS. *TR

AIR CONDITIONER BLOWER MOTOR FAILED TO OPERATE DUE TO MELTING OF CONNECTION OF WIRING HARNESS TO BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR. POSSIBILITY OF FIRE WITH TOXIC FUMES. PART WAS REPLACED BY DEALER AND IS AVAILABLE.

IN 2006, THE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE QUIT WORKING. THIS YEAR, 2007, THERE IS NO HEAT ON EITHER SIDE, JUST BLOWS AIR. THE REPAIR SHOP WANTS OVER $1,000 TO FIX THE BLEND DOORS. I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET, AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEPS. *TR

RESEARCH HAS SHOWN ALL 1999-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES WITH ELECTRONIC DUAL CLIMATE CONTROLS WILL EVENTUALLY REQUIRE MAJOR REPAIR IN ORDER TO CURE HOT AIR/COLD AIR BLOWING FROM VENTS WHEN THEY'RE NOT SET TO DO SO. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE, WHICH HAS BEEN KNOWN TO POP UP AGAIN AFTER ANOTHER 50K MILES AFTER REPAIR, IS GENERALLY $800-$1500 FROM A DEALERSHIP. SHOULD YOU OPT TO DO THIS REPAIR YOURSELF, THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED, QUITE THE ARDUOUS PROCESS, AND PARTS ARE APPROXIMATELY >$300. DOES YOUR DASHBOARD HAVE A LOUD CREAKING SOUND COMING FROM ITS UNDERSIDE WHEN YOU TURN ON YOUR VENTILATION? IS THERE CREAKING FROM THE DASH SECONDS AFTER SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF? ARE THERE STRANGE NUMBERS POPPING-UP ON YOUR CLIMATE CONTROL DISPLAY? DOES COLD IR BLOW FROM ONE SIDE OF THE DASH EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE THE HEAT TURNED ON? YOUR VENTILATION SYSTEM MAY HAVE FAILED, OR, MAY BE IN THE PROCESS OF FAILING. YES TO ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED. HOW IN GOD'S NAME HAS THIS NOT TURNED INTO A MAJOR LEGAL DISPUTE?! THIS, BY FAR, IS MORE COSTLY THAN THE REPETITIVE BRAKE PROBLEMS A WJ OWNER WOULD GO THROUGH. WE'RE ALL GOING TO GET IT EVENTUALLY... EVENTUALLY WE'RE ALL GOING TO HAVE TO FORK OUT ANYWHERE FROM $300 TO $1500 TO FIX IT, SO THIS IS IN NO WAY COMPARABLE TO THE INFAMOUS BRAKE PROBLEM SINCE NOT EVERYONE WAS AFFECTED BY IT. *TR

DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM IS AND HAS FAILED AND MAKING NOISE WHILE ON, THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT NOTES THERE IS NOISE IN THE SYSTEM. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE HEAT DOES NOT WORK IN OUR 2004 JEEP GR. CHEROKEE. IT IS RELATED TO A DOOR WITHIN THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS. ESTIMATED COST TO FIX IS $800-$1000. THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT DEFROST BECAUSE ALL THAT BLOWS IS COLD AIR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. DAIMLER CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS. *TR

ROLLING DOWN THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IN 90 DEGREE TEMPERATURE, I HEARD A LARGE THUMP. WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL BACK UP. WINDOW REGULATOR BUSTED. REPLACED WINDOW REGULATOR. *JB
