On june 15, 2007, as I prepared to go to the airport. I rolled down the driver side window which then just fell completely down into the door. I had to borrow a friends car. This is the second time I had to replace the driver side window regulator.
2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee visibility complaints
Page 4 of 9: complaints 71 to 100 of 245, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Heat and air system dual climate control, blower stops working will not defog windows.
I was driving on the highway and my drivers side window suddenly dropped into the door frame.
2001 wj (jeep grand cherokee) blend door problems starting around 80,000 and now no heat at 111,111 miles.
My electronic climate control failed when the blend doors stopped working. I took it to the dealer who said it is a very common problem with jeeps in general. They would need to remove my dash and replace the motors for the blend doors. 1500 dollars later, I am seeing that I am far from alone with this rip off due to poor construction. From 20000 miles on to 90000 I heard a creaking after I shut off my car. Now I know what that was: the grinding of the blend motor.
Rear driver side window regulator assembly broke in 06, front driver window regulator assembly broke in 07 and now front passenger window regulator assembly broke in 08. I had to replace the window regulator assembly, found that plastic block that holds the cables to the slide track broke. This seems to be a major design flaw on the assemblies, the plastic block gets old, worn and just cracks or breaks without warning. When this happens the window will just drop inside the door, again without warning. I feel that there should be a safety recall on these window regulators as someone could get hurt. I have the broken oem one that I just replaced if you would like to inspect it. Best regards christifer radley
Blend doors in the heating system will no longer function creating a safety issue due to the defroster not working in the morning. I have had this replaced once already and it is malfunctioning once again.
I was driving today and my windshield began to fog I turned defroster on hi heat and all it did was blow cold air and it made windshield worse. I almost crashed!!!
Blend doors in my 2001 jeep grand cherokee have gone out.
Dual climate control blen doors. Both sides of the dual climate control will only blow out cold air. This is due to your failure.
The driver side window went down by itself, and will not go back up. It sounds like the window motor broke. After research on the internet (type in 2001 jeep grand cherokee power window defect), I found many others that shared similar defects in their power windows.
I own a 2001 jeep grand cherokee limited with 87,000 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.
I have a 2001 jeep grand cherokee with about 35,000 miles. The heating system has recently stopped working. I checked this problem on the internet and it seems that many 1999-2004 jeep grand cherokees have this problem. It appears to be quite costly to repair. It obviously affects visibility on the windshield.
Issue with no heat coming from passenger side of vehicle. It is a 2001 jeep grand cherokee with dual heat zones. Cost $1,600 to repair, and it still is not working.
Less than 50,000 miles on my vehicle and the dual climate control on my 01 jeep grand cherokee limited went out. Same things as thousands of other jeep owners have experienced. Faulty blend door in the dash went out, cost me 1800 dollars to repair. This happens to every jeep grand cherokee I know of between years 1999-2004. A recall should be issued.
First the passenger side would not blow hot air, then the drivers side stopped blowing hot air. Now defrost no longer works. Failure has not been corrected. Repair requires an exceptional amount of money ($1,000+) considering that it is an obvious engineering/manufacturers defect in the strength of the blend air doors and motor assembly. Jeep has a "newer" "better" assembly that corrects the problem. Part is inexpensive - labor is not since it requires removing entire dashboard. This is a serious issue since it renders the windshield defroster unusable. This is not an isolated issue - it's widespread and covers many year's of production of jeep grand cherokees and possibly other jeep products. Upon investigation on the web - it looks like this is a part that will fail on all jeeps and not a question of if but when. Just like the brake problem found on similar jeeps (eventually recalled) it looks like jeep is playing the waiting game - and hoping that most failures occur outside of the warranty period (such as ours 70k miles). This is an obvious manufacturers defect. The original parts were not engineered properly. Jeep obviously knows this or they wouldn't have created a "fix" for the problem.
Heater just stopped working. Have A/C but no heat.
2001 jeep grand cheorkee defrost and heat stopped working. Blend doors and actuators had to be replaced along with recirc door. $1500+ in parts and labor was told by dealer this happens to all jeeps 99-04.
Re odi # 10213768 regarding 2001 jeep grand cherokee ltd, blend doors failure on HVAC, occurred three years ago. $1,500.00 to repair, windows fog causing unsafe conditions. Many vehicles affected, jeep aware of problem tsb#24-001-04, faulty engineering and parts, will not buy jeep product again.
Blend door failure.
Hvac system quit working properly. No heat,no defrost. Windows fogged/iced up so that vision was impaired and safety was definitely compromised(mine and others on the road)had dealer repair blend door units(4 parts required and complete removal of dash)at $1200.
Dual side heating and air is not working properly on my 2001 jeep grand cherokee. Passenger side is ice cold constantly, while my driver's side is working properly for now, but for how much longer? After a lot of reading of other articles, there should most absolutely be a recall, especially if I have to pay that kind of money to get it fixed, then I should be reimbursed.
2001 jeep grand cherokee power window failure. This is the second power window that has failed. The driver's side door failed in early 2007 and the passenger side failed in august of 2007.
My blend door in my v8 limited is broken. Not covered under warranty, and makes driving in the winter very cold. Estimate of 876 to fix.
The vehicle does not blow hot air out the passenger side only cold. The blend doors are broken. Hard to defrost a windshield with no heat, hard to see out the windshield.
I get no heat coming out of the vents, only cold air. It was 10 degrees this morning and I have a 45 minute drive to work with no heat. Could be a safety issue if I didn't park in a garage. There would be no way of clearing the windshield of ice. Went to the dealer and they tell me it could be at a minimum $1,200 to fix it and then they won't guarantee it will be a permanant fix.
Malfunctioning air conditioner blended diverters. I have the 2001 laredo and my A/C directional blenders are malfunctioning. I have the manual system which is supposedly less complicated but it seems even the simple ones malfunction. *tr I only have 65,000 miles.
A/c , heater does not function properly, sporadic air flow.
2001 jeep grand cherokee= my vehicle should have been covered under the lemon laws of the us. Equipment failures: - window regulators- replaced 2 - heated seats- both seats have the wires burnt in two in them; possible fire hazard...not covered in recall of a later year - blend doors broke- had to replace all three motors and doors - left turn signal does not function consistently - door lock system is failing: driver's door has quit locking; has to be done manually; back door behind the driver makes a squawking noise when you lock the doors, tailgate is not locking; alarm will go off if you open the door, but it is not locked. _constant small coolant leak.
