2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee visibility complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 124, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 jeep grand cherokee. The front passenger side defrost failed. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was contacted and informed him that the heat blender doors were broken and were not covered under warranty nor were there any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 120,000.
No defrost or heat on passenger side of vehicle, cannot see thru passenger side of windsheild when iced or foggged up.
Little to no heat. Mainly I am getting very little heat from the passenger side (not blowing like drivers side and drivers side as well as passenger side not heating as it should.
I recently purchased this vehicle and the drivers side has no heat, due to the blend door malfunctioning.
My 2000 jeep grand cherokee with 90,000 miles has had problems with defrosting and heating for the past year. When it is cold or rainy the windshield will not clear not matter what settings I use. I get snow and ice accumulating on my foggy windshield and I am forced to pull over in dangers conditions and scrap my windows. Recently my heat has stopped working on the drivers side and I looked for information online and found numerous forums with thousands of people having the same problems with their jeep grand cherokees. People have complained for years to the dealership and daimler chrysler only to be told it was a comfort issue not a safety issue. It is s serious safety issue and I feel this needs to be looked into before someone does get hurt or worse. They are aware of the problem and the dealerships are willing to charge thousands of dollars to 'fix' problems but it should be recalled because they never fix the problem and customers are taking unnecessary risks to drive their SUV's (sports utility vehicles, ironically) without heat, defrost and/or cooling. Please take this complaint seriously and look and see how many other similar complaints you have gotten on the same issues with these cars. I can not afford to buy a new car and I do not want to out myself and my family as well as others at risk because one company is not responsible enough to fix such a blatant safety issue. Thank you
The HVAC system on our 2000 jeep grand cherokee limited has broken and is unable to direct air at the proper temperature to the proper places. The defect appears to be related to electronically controlled dampers in the ductwork that have failed. This prevents our defroster from working as effectively as it should and is also an irritant to the driver when it's 110 degrees outside in the texas heat. Googling the problem identifies it as a common breakage and is related to the use of cheap plastic materials in the damper mechanism. I believe this should be covered as part of a manufacturers recall campaign.
Front driver-side window drive actuator broke for the second time. Window won't stay up and will not move up or down. Had to have the whole window motor replaced at a cost of $500.00. The window drive actuator is plastic and apparently breaks frequently. This appears to be designed to fail. This is a defect and should be recalled.
Visibility: defroster/defogger system: windshield: blower.
There is no heat blowing on driver side but heat on passenger side.
Visibility:defroster/defogger system:windshield:blower jeep grand cherokee lmt. Heater problem. I have a dual control system, that is only heating on the passenger's side. There are several complaints and the cost of repair is outrageous, the part is semi reasonable, but the labor and location makes it extremely costly. This is a danger in terms of visibility and I believe chrysler should fix the problem. Several jeep owners are having the same problems, so it appears to be a manufactures defect.
The dual climate control has been not functional due to the fact that my blend door actuator is stock on vent. This has caused me great discomfort and severe safety issues because I can not circulate any warm air in my car or defrost. I sincerely hope jeep does a recall, not only to keep valued customers, but to prevent any serious accidents due to the fact that the defrost is completely disfunctional.
The driver's blend door, and the passenger's blend door are not working, causing only cold air to come in on passenger and on driver side causing fog build up on the front windshield which prevents drivers vision and could cause a major accident. A known problem by jeep/dodge/chrysler but never had a recall to fix the hazardous and dangerous problem.
Recirc door, the driver's blend door, and the passenger's blend door all have too much travel, causing only cold air to come in on passenger or on driver side causing fog build up on the front windshield which prevents drivers vision and could cause a major accident. A known problem by jeep/dodge/chrysler but never had a recall to fix the hazardous and dangerous problem.
2000 jeep grand cherokee limited blend doors.
2000 jeep grand cherokee, passanger side heat does not work - blows cold air - again (10/09)! Fixed this once before in 2006 (ish) for approx $800.
We own a 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo. It just started blowing cold air only out of the drivers side vents and hot air out of the passengers side vents. We understand it is a blend door malfunction which is widespread among 1998-2004 jeep grand cherokee owners. We called our local jeep dealer and they estimated it would cost between $800 and $2000 to fix as they would have to pull the entire dash out of the car. This is simply unacceptable for an owner to have to pay all of this money to repair a manufacturing deficit in the original design. About every jeep owner we know has faced this problem. We feel you should demand that jeep recalls all of the jeeps and fix them at their expense.
Heating/air conditioning components fail due to faulty components (blend doors, a component known to fail frequently) causing windshield fogging, poor visibility, lack of heat control.
Heater and defroster failed to work and nearly caused an accident as windshield would not defrost. Problem was diagnosed to be a blend door failure with failure codes 38,51,54 and 56.
No heat on passenger side of 2000 grand jeep cherokee.
I own a 2000 jeep grand cherokee limited with 151,400 miles. The events leading up to the failure of the ventilation system were (1) rapid fogging of front windshield,(2) fogging of front passenger windows,(3) failure of passenger heat while still maintaining driver heat function, and (4) only cold air release on passenger side of jeep. Consequently,(1) the windshield and front windows do not defog, and (2) no heat whatsoever comes from the passenger side floor and dashboard ventilation system. To correct this problem, a "blend air door" is necessary at a cost of approximately $1,200 inclusive of 7 hours of labor. According to the certified service department at the local jeep dealer and online forums, this has become a very common problem for 2000-2004 jeep grand cherokee limiteds with duel zone ventilation systems.
When heater is on we only get heat out on the driver side only. Cold air blows out on the passenger side. Then no heat from any side of unit.
The ventilation system in my 2000 jeep grand cherokee stopped working completely. It worked for about a year after I bought it and then stopped. Now it just blows out cold air even when I have the heat on. I can't afford to have it fixed and I can't fix it my self. It is a constant nuisance. I live in the mountains where it is freezing and I have to drive to work in a freezing car. My defroster doesn't even work! Half the time, I am riding around with a fogged up windshield which isn't safe at all.
I own a 2000 jeep grand cherokee. The heating works fine on the driver's side of the vehicle, but only cold air blows from the vents on the passenger side. My internet review suggests that it won't be long before I lose heat on the driver's side. This is apparently a very common problem with jeep grand cherokees ... And chrysler knows it. The fix is very expensive ... Blend air door actuator, or something like that. This will become a safety hazard when I am unable to defrost the windshield. Chrysler should recall and fix!
2000 jeep grand cherokee heater quit working and makes it dangerous to drive in cold weather because you can not keep windows defrosted. It is a known problem with this vehicle.
My jeep grand cherokee was operating perfectly, and apparently the "blend door" or something in the heating/cooling system is messed up. It starts blowing cold air for no reason some times, even to the point of fogging the windshield in cold weather.
2000 jeep grand cherokee. Passenger side vents blow extremely cold air, even with the heat turned on. With negative temperatures this past week, this makes driving the vehicle nearly impossible. This is a widespread issue that is a known vehicle flaw and extremely costly to fix. This isn't about comfort, but about safety in winter weather!!!
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 jeep grand cherokee. The heat/defrost function failed in the vehicle. During the winter, the contact must remain cold in the vehicle and the windows become foggy instead of defrosting. The vehicle has been to the dealer twice and they stated that there was possibly a condenser leak in the heater, which caused the control lever for the heating unit to deteriorate. The contact stated that the repair was too expensive. He has found several complaints regarding this failure with the same model; therefore, he believes that the manufacturer should issue a recall. A relay shorted out due to a failure with the heating mechanism and the entire vehicle filled with smoke. There were no injuries. The vehicle has not yet been repaired. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 60,000 and current mileage was 90,000.
