2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

THE BLEND DOORS ON MY JEEP ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE HEATER AND DEFROSTER BLOW COLD AIR. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS IS HAPPENING SO FREQUENTLY THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX IT ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. *JB

THE HVAC UNIT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY IN THE SENSE THAT THE HEAT DOES NOT WORK IN THE WINTER AND THE A/C DOES NOT WORK IN THE SUMMER. THROUGH SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM AND NEEDS FIXING AT THE MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE. THE COST TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS AROUND $1000 AND IS ONE THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. *NM

WHEN DRIVING MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN COLD WEATHER WITH RAIN OR ANY MOISTURE ON THE WINDSHIELD THE HVAC DUCTS WILL BLOW COLD AIR ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD TO FREEZE QUICKER WHILE DECREASING MY VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE TENDS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM 7 OUT OF 10 STARTS AND SOME TIMES RESETS IT SELF ONLY WHEN THE JEEP HAS BEEN SITTING FOR AT LEAST 3 TO 5 HOURS. THE DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS IN WORKING ORDER BUT I TOLD THEM THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CAUSED ME TO NEARLY HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE WINDSHIELD INSTANTLY STARTED TO FREEZE UP. LUCKILY I KEPT SPRAYING WASHER FLUID TO CLEAR THE WINDOW IN TIME BEFORE I GOT INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT. *JB

VENT CONTROLS DO NOT WORK. WHEN DEFROSTER IS ON AND CHANGE TO VENTS OR FLOOR VENTS DEFROSTER STAYS ON AND WILL NOT CHANGE FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER SHIP IT WAS THE BLEND DOOR. *NM

TL* - THE CONTACTED STATED THAT THE STEERING FELT STIFF WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD HE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE STEERING GEAR BOX. THE ODOMETER READING WAS 30000 AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING STIFFNESS, AND HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK. T THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES DUE TO WARPED BRAKE ROTORS. HE HAD THEM REPAIRED, HOWEVER, HE CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ROTORS.*AK

I RECEIVED NOTICE OF A RECALL ON MY JEEP CHEROKEE IN AUGUST OF 2006 FOR POSSIBLE OVER HEATING OF THE SEATS TO DATE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED . I AM BEING TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE? *JB

SINCE PURCHASED IN 3/06, 2004 GC V8 WHILE IDLING, REPEATEDLY DIES, OR NEARLY DIES BUT RECOVERS ONLY TO CAUSE A LURCHING FORWARD IF IN GEAR. WILL DIE IN GEAR OR IN PARK AND I AM ABLE TO START IT AGAIN RIGHT AWAY. DEALER, AFTER THREE TRIES CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. MAY GO TWO WEEKS WITHOUT HAPPENING, MAY HAPPEN TWICE IN ONE DAY. *NM

ENTIRE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM DIED. INCLUDES HEAT AND DEFROST SYSTEM. WE HAD A HIGH OF 38 DEGREES THIS WEEKEND WITH SNOW AND ICE AND WAS UNABLE TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS WHILE DRIVING. *JB

THE HEATER IN MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER PROVIDING HEAT IN ORDER TO KEEP WINDSHIELD FROST FREE CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE MOTOR TO THE ADJUSTABLE PEDALS BECAME INOPERABLE CAUSING THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS TO BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MOVED DOWN AND THE BRAKE PEDAL MOVED UP. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
