I started hearing creaking noises inside the dash several months ago. This would normally occur when I turned the engine off, or turned the heat or A/C off. A week ago the passenger side vents starting blowing cold air only, regardless of temperature settings. I was told at my mechanic that this was a known blend door issue with 1999 to 2004 jeep grand cherokees. I was told this would be approximately $1000 to repair.

Blend door gone bad per dealer.
2000 jeep grand cherokee blender door, which is located in the heater/ air conditioner box. Upon looking up this problem, and asking other jeep owners, this seems to be a very common and large problem, as well as costly ($800- $1200) to repair. How could there not possibly be a recall on something as expensive as this to fix. Especially when it happens to all of these vehicles in the years between 1999-2004? The electronic dual air control was developed with parts not built to with stand the job it is required to do.
Climate controls stopped working. No warning just one day started blowing warm air out of passenger side and cold air out of driver side. The winter season is upon us now and somehow I need to find $1400.00 so I don't freeze while commuting back and fourth from my job. Its a blend door that stopped working? After searching around for an answer, I find that this problem has affected an overwhelming number of other jeep owners.
Ventilation system, I have a noise in the dashboard and my vents are blowing cold air, and it is a dual heating system. This is going to cost me 800.00 to fix. I hear this is a recurring problem in this vehicle and has anything been done about it.
The blower motor resistor has melted! (fire hazard) now we only have cold air blowing from our vents. No heat. Someone said it is the blend doors. Apparently lots of ppl have this problem! (it is soon to be winter time) also, creaking/motor sounds come from the dash when the vehicle is off?!?!
My 2000 jeep grand cherokee only blows cold air out of the passenger side vents regardless of the temperature setting. It has been doing this for several weeks now. It does not appear that it will ever be corrected.
Failure of blend doors in heater/defogger of vehicle. Jeep has known about these cheap parts for some time. The repair costs over $1000 because it is labor intensive, the complete dash panel has to be removed to access where the blend doors are located. The part costs are only about $150 at most! With the failure comes no warm/hot air from the heater, consequently no defrosting of the windshield.........a severe visibility problem!! Jeep/chrysler should be picking up all, or at least most of the cost of this repair. The original parts were cheaply made and are subject to wear out within only a few years. I recently had to pay for this repair myself. I could not do without the defroster during winter months. I had to pay for it out of my own pocket. I would like to see jeep/chrysler refund some of that cost to me, it would only be fair. Do a search on the internet, and you will see the numbers of these same failures for several jeep year models.
Visibility: defroster/defogger system:windshield:blower I have a 2000 jeep that the defogger does not work properly, and from what I have learned, chrysler has known about this problem for some time and has failed to act on the problem as far as a recall! This is a dangerous issue with most jeeps. This failure occurs everyday due to the fact the blend doors are broken as part of faulty manufacturing. I can't even defrost the windshield due to this problem. I don't mind fixing the problem, but when I learn that chrysler knew of this problem long ago, I think they need to bear some of the burden. Thank you.
The heat/AC unit on my 2000 jeep grand cherokee stopped working on the passenger side, now the driver side has no heat. It appears to be a major problem with all jeeps 1999 and newer, and it has never been a subject of a recall.
Automatic climate control system acts erratically. Regardless of what settings are used, hot air will blow out one side while cold blows out the other. Sometimes which side is cold or hot will switch. I am filing this with the federal safety agency because this is a major safety hazard. Because my automatic climate control doesn't work correctly, I have no windshield defroster. We have been receiving a lot of rain lately and the temperatures have been dropping. My windshield keeps getting foggy and I can't clear it. I have to pull over and wipe it off with a towel just to have it fog up again a few minutes later while I'm trying to drive. In the winter, the windshield will freeze over and it is very difficult to keep clear visibility. I can deal with being uncomfortable, but no defroster is a major problem. I have taken the vehicle into a dealership and have been told the cost of repair will be at least $1200. After researching online, it appears this is a very common problem. My fathers 99' jeep grand cherokee had the same problem. Jeep has identified a design flaw and has replacement parts, but they will not fix the problem under warranty unless the vehicle is still in warranty. This is a major design flaw and a major safety issue. Jeep didn't have a fix for this until the jeep was well out of warranty. I put today's date as the incident date, but this has been happening for the past year. It is considerably worse now and the vehicle will be unsafe to drive this winter.
2000 jeep cherokee limited dual climate control, it started with no heat on the passenger side and now the drivers side is blowing cold air also (no heat). Dealer knows its a issue and its not covered under the warranty.. (temp. Control doors made of plastic) this should be a recall for defected parts and design....
Defroster/defogger system:windshield:blower , HVAC system failures repeatedly. Dealership charges $800 to $1500 per incident. First time evaporator core goes bad, second time blend doors go bad, third time fan motor goes, forth time fan motor and thermostatic resistor that controls fan goes bad, fifth time blend doors go again, sixth time thermostatic resistor and its wiring harness burn up, seventh time, recirculate/fresh air door breaks off inside unit. 2000 grand cherokee limited with dual zone automatic climate control system.
Failure of climate control "blend doors" which results in lack of control over heat or A/C entering passenger compartment.
My jeep grand cherokee, 2000 model, have a common failure with the blend doors in the ventilation system. This is a well know error on these cars, and happens with every one of them. I have a dual ventilation system that controls each side of the car.
My blend door that controls my heat and A/C on my 2000 jeep grand cherokee is broken. I've done a lot of research on this problem. There are alot of jeep owners with the same/similar problem. This should totally be a recall and should be fixed by jeep/chrysler.
Only cold air blows from the right side vents on my 2000 jeep grand cherokee. This began the end of this past winter. This problem affects the heat vents and the defrost vent, therefore causes a safety hazard, as the right side windshield ices up. From my searches, this appears to be a big problem, effecting many jeep owners. My mechanic at the dealership, said it would be about a grand to fix. He also did not even ask me if I wanted to get it fix, almost like it was too time consuming and did not want me to get it fixed. So, therefore I have not had it fixed yet.
Ventilation system is blowing cold air even with the heat on.
Passenger side window fell down while driving. Will not go up. Have not fixed but understand price for fix is around $500.
I own a 2000 jeep grand cherokee limited. 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 $1,400. 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 limited's with dual zone ventilation systems. Given the mileage of the vehicle at the time of 110,000, I thought it a reasonable failure. Later I found out this is a very common failure. 14 months later, the heater began having problems again and seemed not to respond to the controls. The shop says it is the "blend doors" again! I told them they were replaced 14 months earlier and they replied it was a common problem and it seems every service coordinator at this particular dealership had a set of bad blend doors under their desk to show people what the problem is! If this is so common, it seems that chrysler should be doing something about it! 14 months expected lifetime?? $3k in 14 months just to get a heater working? Too much! Something must be done!!
Power window manufacturers defect could cause severe problems in cold weather. Jeep gr cherokee 2000 model/year has a plastic part that crimps and fails in the regulator for the power window assembly. Multiple websites reveal the problem is pervasive with jeep owners.
I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee. I have no heat and can't defrost the windows. I took it to a chrysler dealer and they told me the bender boards need to be replaced at a cost of about $1,200/. I did some research and there are a lot of people that are complaining about this issue with jeep. This is obviously a design flaw and should be recalled and fixed by chrysler at no charge to the customer.
When heater is on, my vehicle heater blows only out of the driver side vents. Cold air blows out on the passenger side. The vehicle also blows no A/C on the passenger side.
Taken to dealer prior to warranty expiration, they could not duplicate problem. After warranty expired, the heater blend door completely failed, causing a lack of heat/defrost - repaired. Problem returned 12/2007 vehicle is doing the same thing again, will need repairing.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 jeep grand cherokee. The defroster malfunctioned and the windows frosted. The contact had no visibility. The dealer stated that the blending door heat actuator failed and needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was 46,000 and current mileage was 47,500.
Passenger side A/C vents started blowing cool air does not warm up at all when heater is cut on.
Cold air blows in through passenger side vents.
The blend air door in not working properly, causing the heater not to work on the passenger side.
Heat hasn't worked on passenger side of vehicle for 2 years. Asked dealer about it and they want over $1000 to repair. Just replaced radiator and now heat doesn't work on driver side. If jeep actually checked customer complaint website they know that this problem is rampant around the country and they should recall the vehicle and pay to have this problem fixed. I purchased this vehicle used in 2003. Heat stopped working on passenger side by september and I purchased it in july.
I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee that I purchased in 2003 with only 27k on it and a factory warranty I also purchased a extended bumper to bumper warranty from the jeep dealer when I bought the vehicle at about 75k the vehicle lost all heat on the passenger side it only blows cold air I took the vehicle back to the dealer ship to have it looked at they told me it could of been one of two things either the heater control unit or the blend doors but almost always it is the blend doors, they then told me that it was not covered due to the warranty expired a few months before and that it would cost me over $1000 dollars to fix I have been driving the vehicle all this time with no heat because I can not afford to fix it and it is a major safety hazard as all winter long my car will not defrost, I can only see out a little space in the window when the temp drops to freezing, if I knew back then that this issue is affecting almost every jeep owner out there not a select few I would of acted sooner but as I cant stand it anymore I did some research and found many sites that have hundreds even thousands of people affected by the faulty parts installed by the chrysler corp this type of issue is not supposed to happen when you spend 30+k on a vehicle.
