Since there is no catagory for this issue I had to put visibility/wiper in order to even submit this form. There is no catagory for the heating system which there are a lot of problems!!! The accuator doors regulating the heat to the inside of the vehicle are broken. I thought by replacing the motor which controls them it would fix it. No such luck the doors are broken and not only are they almost impossible to reach without pulling the entire dashboard and console, the cost for it will be around $1500 and that is absurd for a part which is less than $100. The labor will be about $1300 to get to it. What is wrong with these people can't they design a vehicle that can be worked on without taking it apart to a level which makes me want to junk the car!! They should have put something other than plastic to control the heat in the vehicle. Now it is the middle of january in new mexico and it is freezing. Thanks jeep, I paid a lot of money for this SUV and I'll never buy another amreican car again!! I had to replace the transmission 2 years ago at the tune of $3500. I rarely go on a dirt road let alone drive fast or reckless. A transmission going out at 65,000 is absurd and poor design and manufacturing. This car is nickling and dimeing me to death!!

My 1999 jeep cherokee does not defrost right-hand side of front window. Left -hand side works very well. This happened before this year, but seemed to work ok at end of 2009. Have tried to move selector control back and forth, did not help at all. Takes some time for the left-hand side of defroster to clear right-hand side. My friend had a 1998 dodge durango and a 1996 dodge stealth that did the same thing. Could this be a chrysler manufacturing problem? Thank you.

Tl*the contact owns a 1999 jeep cherokee. While driving 35 MPH, the vehicle would suddenly stall without warning. The contact would have to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle would occasionally restart. The contact took the vehicle to a local mechanic and dealer. The vehicle has been repaired numerous times by local mechanics, but the failure stills persists. The contact noticed that the failure was identical to the one mentioned in the federal safety agency campaign id number 08v059000 (visibility:windshield wiper/washer). The failure mileage was 65,000 and current mileage was 80,000.update 09/10/08 *cw updated 09/15/08.

The window regulators in both the front windows of my 1999 jeep cherokee have failed, and I have been unable to find replacements. No auto parts stores have them- they are all on back order indefinitely, no used parts dealers have any- too high of a demand, I have also exhaustively searched online for the parts with no luck . So I am unable to have my vehicle inspected due to lack of parts.

As my husband and I were on our way to a relatives last weekend, the passenger side window lowered on it's own. I tried to roll it up with the drivers control, and my husband tried with the passenger control ( which has never worked well) but the window just continued to go down. I had my son look at it and he took everything off including door panel, and speakers, but he was not familiar with jeep windows and could not determine how to fix it. In the meantime, I have checked out some websites on this problem and found out that this is an ongoing problem with jeeps. Now it is going to cost me between $250.00 and $600.00 to repair . Please do something about this so no one else will have such an unexpected expense.

Dt: contact states the left rearview mirror is discolored to a rust color and fogging up. The contact thought it was a fingerprint he tried to wipe it off, but it would not come off. The service dealer will not repair the mirror due to the mileage on the vehicle. *ak
