1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee visibility complaints
Page 3 of 7: complaints 41 to 70 of 165, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Blows cold air and or don't blow.
Automatic climate control temperature control blend doors broke, leaving me without defrost. The windshield was icing up on the driver's side while driving in sleet.
When the heat is turned on in my 1999 jeep grand cherokee, cold air blows out of the passenger-side vents, freezing my passengers. I have read that this is a problem that all 1999-2004 grand cherokees have, and jeep should put out a recall. This is a very expensive repair!
When I bought the vehicle from jeep dealership I was told that there was a problem with AC/ heating unit and it had been fixed. Not long after I have no heat and no AC coming out of my passenger side vents. Now I have no heat or a.c out of any vents and all I get is outside air.
Heater failed on passenger side. Traced by repair shop to failed HVAC blend door.
Loss of heat/AC.
Failure of climate control system - vents get "stuck" in the wrong position so that system heats in the summer or will not heat in the winter. Vents that air comes out of is not controllable with normal knob positions. May only affect one side of car or may affect both. Random behavior over many months.
All of the sudden there was no air blowing out of the inside vents, I took it to my mechanic who explained that the blower quit working and the left side heater quit working as well. My mechanic fixed the blower because it was easily accessible and charged me $200 to fix it but not the heater because he explained he will have to remove the whole front dash and will cost a labor a about $500. I contacted the jeep dealership who explained that services will not be covered under the warranty for this issue. I know a lot of jeep owners who have had these same problems. I am afraid chrysler did not equipped the vehicles with high quality blowers and or heaters. A recall on this issue from the manufacturer is needed!
99 jeep grand cherokee HVAC system failure. Blend doors allow AC to be on when the heat is on allowing the windshield to freeze/fog in the winter and fall. The dealer and chrysler knows there is a flaw with all of these cars. Makes for very unsafe driving half of the year if you can't see out the windshield.
I have a jeep grand cherokee ltd 1999 with no heat or defrost in driver side was told by dealer it would cost between 1200 and 1500 to fix I am out of extended warranty but I feel this is a safety concern to to defroster not working I know I am not alone with this problem please help!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a 1999 jeep grand cherokee limited. The blend door is bad and I have no defrost or heat on the driver side of the jeep only cold air.
Driver-side window fell into door and will not roll up. Upon research online, hundreds if not thousands of other people have had this same problem with faulty parts within the window mechanism. Have not done any work or replacement yet.
1999 jeep grand cherokee limited heater doesn't work. No heat on either side whatsoever. 116k miles and from the way the seller is responding to my query about it is that its been that way for a while now. Have heard that possibly the control module(relay) melts as well which is a reason as to why I smell a faint burnt plastic smell when I turn the air on whether it be heater or A/C it smells.
Blend doors broke for no reason causing the vehicle to blow only cold air. Heater doesn't work and what's required is having to rip the dash out and replace the blend doors.
My 1999 grand jeep cherokee has the same most common problem of owners who own jeeps from 1999-2004. The heater system blows cold air. Daimler/chrysler is aware of the defect but will not cover the expensive cost to fix it. Instead they had handed over the cost to us.
I have a '99 jeep grand cherokee ltd. The dual climate control only blows cold air on the drivers side regardless of the temp setting. Dealer says it is very common air-blend actuator/door problem and will cost $$$ to fix.
I have a jeep grand cherokee. The heating unit has failed. It only blows cold air. I went online to check if it was something that I could fix myself because I called two dealers and they all want to charge $1200 or more to fix it. To my surprise, I found several forums and user groups online whereby people have complained of the same failure in their jeep cherokees from year 99-04 models. What they all describe is the exact same problem and experience we had with our jeep. First the passenger side goes out and only blows cold....then a few weeks later, the driver side does the same thing. I can not imagine why a recall has not been issued on this. The manufacturer acts as if this is not a problem. I would challenge someone to go back and look at how many of these have had to be replaced in those model years. It will be a shocking number.
Windshield visibility problem caused by defective blend door on zone control for heater, causing unsafe visibility issue in inclement weather.
Heating blend doors 1999 jeep grand cherokee second failure.
Air conditioning and heater does not work properly. Blend door keeps breaking.
1999 jeep grand cherokee limited has a safety defect in the AC/heater system. Blending doors mechanism controlling the defogging of the windshield break too easy. Replaced once about a year ago and then it has the same problem again. Too expensive. When it rains almost got into an accident because of the defogging system failure.
1999 jeep grand cherokee limited, dual zone heating and cooling. Problem is passenger side blows only cold air, will not blow hot. Same problem 1,000's others have.
The "blower control module" is the electronic component responsible for adjusting the fan speed for the HVAC on vehicles equipped with the automatic climate control. It is a well known problem that these units fail. It has failed on my vehicle. My own independent mechanic has replaced quite a few of them. The wiring harness and plug that supplies power is not heavy duty enough and it overheats and melts and could cause a fire. It can be further exaggerated if the blower collects debris and draws more current. Once it fails the blower will no longer operate. This makes the defroster unavailable, which could create very unsafe driving conditions should the windows fog up. Chrysler has a redesigned unit with a new harness so it is obviously a problem they are already aware of. I'm in the process of having the new parts installed and the old parts will be available. Here's a write up of how to fix it yourself. Http://www.wjjeeps.com/blower_motor.htm
Hvac system that breaks on everyone and its not a recall.
1999 wj grand cherokee limited- blend door problem. I had the bled door problem fixed on my jeep fixed about 40k miles ago. This issue has cropped up again. I travel to the mountains on the weekends and external temp usually get below freezing. Last weekend the blend door problem came up suddenly. There is no heat on the drivers side and the windshield defrost functions . Due to the windshield being fogged up, I almost drove over the cliff avoiding oncoming traffic. Please consider this lack of heat as a safety issue.

Tl*the contact owns a 1999 jeep grand cherokee. While driving 40 MPH, the window became fogged. The heat would not activate to defog the window, therefore the contact's visibility was limited. The dealer stated that the failure was caused by the blend doors. The failure mileage was 100,000 and current mileage was 115,000.
Hvac blend door frequently does not operate correctly causing visible issues with the windshield defroster/defogger.
