2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee visibility problems

Filed Feb 7, 2013 · Suspension, Visibility · VA

1-I bought the jeep 4/2008. A couple of months after, a window stopped working. I got the regulator fixed. Soon after that, another window stopped. I got that one fixed. Every time I get one fixed another breaks. Now I have 2 windows not working. 2-whenever I turn a corner, it sounds like the wheels are scraping against something. 3-soon after I bought the jeep, whenever it gets wet and I turn corners, there is a sound coming the front like its the axle or something. I have taken it to several people/dealers and no one can find out why. They test drive it and hear it, look underneath and still cant find out why or where the sound is coming from.

Passenger side warm air flow from heater stopped. Only cold air blows out. Driver side is operating fine. Evidently the air blend door has failed. This appears to be a chronic problem with this jeep vintage. I do not understand why a recall has never been issued for this common design failure. The fix is very expensive and involves removing the whole dash. However, mopar even makes a repair kit for this issue kit #k6855685ab, that does not involve removing the dash. Jeep should be forced to recall these vehicles and correct their design flaw.

Due to the blend door breakage/failure, visability is affected because this causes the defogger/defroster system to not work properly. This creates poor visability and a safety hazard.

Visibility: defroster/defogger system: windshield: blower for 2001 jeep grand cherokee limited. Dual climate controls are inoperable and cold air is constantly blowing on my windshield interior, causing it to fog up, limiting my visibility considerably.

Power windows-front passenger side regulator failed ~july '09 getting back in the car from church put the window up heard loud snap and window dropped, had to stop window from falling into door panel by holding it all the way home until we could figure out what to do-taped it up. Driver side window started out as a motor failing in jan '11 and when I went to get my oil changed asked them not to put window down because of that (didn't want it to get stuck in down position), window got put down and that was the start of the end. By feb '11 the window had failed no snaps but will slide down if not held up with something. Now both of my windows are done for and being held up with tape, can't afford dealership pricing to fix. Passenger window went at ~85,000 miles went to dealership for pricing to fix ~$300/window + labor @ $90/hr driver window went at ~160,000 miles have been looking for parts online and in junk yards... If the windows are not pushed up all the way and taped securely they will leak from the rain or wind will get in and cause the truck to be uncontrollable! I didn't realize that there were so many problems with the windows, thought it was a freak thing apparently not.

The passenger side heater does not blow hot air. It will not defrost the windshield on the passenger side and therefore causes a safety hazard by limiting sight of the driver.
