1997 Jeep Cherokee visibility problems

Filed Oct 7, 2004 · Electrical, Visibility · 87,000 miles · OH

Blower motor failed at 78k miles excessive liquid draining when running AC was told that motor had been "redesigned" and that parts alone would cost over 300.00 because in addition to redesigning the motor, a new wiring harness has to be installed!!! Remember the 300.00 is for the hard part and wiring only, not the labor to install...this is completely ridiculous when a motor for the same model manufactured a year earlier is only 20.00!!!!! As far as the excessive liquids running from under the vehicle while the AC is running, this site was the first indicator as to what is wrong with it...(I simply though it was a design flaw) also this complaint has been edited to let you know that "running boards has nothing to do with this...it seems one has to go through the process flawlessly or begin again completely!!!

I think that the overall service of the jeep dealer really stinks. No safety defect listed within summary.

After a heavy rainfall, my wife and I proceed to make a right turn at the corn of our street and received down pouring of water the left side of my body, while my wife on the right side after making a left turn at another corner. Reported to the dealer, who checked it out, and told us that it was the door seal on the drivers side. Another day I returned with the same problem, now they say it was the sky light window seal. 05/04/00. Seal ordered but not warranted. I must pay . Part oreded and repairing in progress even as I type. Just thought you would like to no. No damage to either me nor my wife.

I feel it is necessary to report an incident with the potential for death. The rear windows in this vehicle can close with such force that it can strangle, decapitate, suffocate or collapse the airway of a child. My child almost died as a result of an inadvertant closing of the window with the child's head sticking out of the window while parked. Garage doors have a safety mechanism to prevent crushing or death, why not auto windows! I will be forwarding my concerns to the detroit free press. Please respond.
