Tl*the contact owns a 2004 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that one month after she purchased the vehicle, she noticed that the driver side exterior mirror would become cloudy. She activated the heated mirror to clear it up, which worked temporarily. However, over the last few months, the frame around the inside of the mirror fractured and caused the mirror to cloud completely over to the point of zero visibility. Both the dealer and manufacturer were notified. The vehicle is not under warranty; therefore, they would not repair the vehicle for free. The failure mileage was 25,000 and current mileage was 43,000.

2004 jeep cherokee - A/C blows cold only on driver side. Problem with "blender doors" very costly to repair/replace (over $1000). This is a very common problem in this model. Chrysler is aware of this problem and has done nothing about it. It should be recalled and repaired for free.
2004 jeep grand cherokee limited. Defective blend doors, no defrost, AC iffy, heat only at times. Expensive repair, for now living with it.
Climate control started blowing nothing but cold air out the passenger side vents. Not warning preceded the failure. I just got a complaint from a passenger that they were freezing one day. Research lead me to find it is a poorly designed blend door in the HVAC system of wj grand cherokees. A quote of over $1000 to fix a cardboard part!
2004 jeep grand cherokee limited. Blend doors are broken and dealer wants over 2200usd to repair. This should be a factory recall. The ordinary working class person cannot afford this repair. Because the blend doors do not open, you cannot get heat or AC. Consequently, there is no defrost, making driving extremely dangerous.
I am having a problem with the steering, brakes, and the heat vent. When turning left or right, it makes this awful noise. When applying the brakes, the steering wheel and the front end begins to shake. I took the vehicle to get the brakes changed and they said the pads look fine. When I had the heater on, it was blowing cold air on the passenger side.
Heater, defroster, A/C, vents all stopped working twice! On my 2004 jeep grand cherokee. The blend doors would break and stick, thus producing no heat, A/C..nothing! This is very dangerous and extremely costly 1200-1800 each time it has to be fixed. The whole dashboard needs to be removed, the coolant drained and refilled, heater removed, A/C drained and refilled, it is an all day fix for a repair shop who is fluent with this. Two days for one who is not.
There were no events leading up to the failure that I am aware of. I attempted to use the heat this past winter, and nothing would blow out. No heat, no air, no defrost. My windows will not defrost. I took it to the dealership and they diagnosed it as broken blend doors. Needs blend door housing. They were asking around $1,000.00 to fix it. I researched this problem online and found a forum where many people were experiencing the same exact problem with the same model. This is a factory defect. Nothing has been done to correct the failure. I don't have this kind of money. My vehicle was only 3 years old. I contacted the manufacturer to no avail. This summer I , along with many others, will have no air to keep them cool.
2004 jeep grand cherokee with heated seat issue. Consumer states that the vehicle has been taken to the dealer several times for the heated seat problem. She also states that there is a wire or rod poking through the driver seat. *kb the consumer also stated the transmission failed, there was a problem with the power steering, the blend doors in the heating system, the passenger side window fell down in to the door panel, and the hood struts failed. The consumer stated the heated seat issue had been recalled. The engine light illuminated and it was determined that the oxygen sensor needed to be replaced.
Heater blend door made noise from the day vehicle was purchased. It also failed several times during normal operation over the last 4 years. No longer making noise but now only passenger side heater/AC vent works. Defrosting windows ineffective with defective blend door.
This is the second time that we have had a problem with windows falling down while driving down the road. The first time the dealership did split the cost of 500.00 with us but not the latest. This seems to be and ongoing problem with this part that is made of plastic. I wish I had known about all the problems with the windows before buying this jeep.
I have had 3 window regulators break in my 2004 jeep cherokee. The regulator itself is a faulty product, made of cheap plastic instead of something that is built to last with metal. Daimler-chrysler took a major shortcut to save a few bucks and now jeep owners are paying for it. Each window regulator costs about 277 dollars from a jeep dealership, and they charge $500 for parts and labor to fix 1 (one) regulator. I've had 3 fail and replaced, so I've paid $1500 on a 4 year old american vehicle...on the windows!! This is ridiculous and this product should be recalled, and jeep owners should be reimbursed for all expenses, or have all 4 window regulators replaced free of charge.
Heater vent does not work.
Visibility: defroster/defogger system:windshield:blower.

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 jeep grand cherokee. The contact stated that the driver's side heated seat burned her and left two burn marks through the leather seats. She noticed the defect when hot spots began to come through the seat. She has unknowingly been burned five times. The manufacturer has not offered any assistance. The dealer stated that there was no recall for her VIN number; however, there is a the federal safety agency campaign id number 06v197000 (seats:front assembly:seat heater/cooler). The failure and current mileages were 38,000. Updated 02-19-08 *bf the consumer stated at the same time there was a complete failure of the heating system including the defroster. Causing hazardous driving conditions. Updated 02/19/08
Failure of the heating system, making vision out of the windshield difficult in poor weather. Turned out do be a mid case unit (blend doors) came apart, entire dash had to be removed for the repair. Fortunately extended warranty covered repair cost.
This pass summer I lost air conditioning on the passenger side, now this winter I have lost heat and defrost on the passenger side. Just today I lost all heat and defrost.
The blender doors on my 2004 jeep grand cherokee's ventilation system failed without warning. I can only get air flow from the windshield defroster vent. This makes if difficult to warm up the vehicle in the winter. According to my research on the web, this type of failure is ridiculously common on this jeep model. I have scheduled an appointment to get the problem fixed, but my dealer has already warned me that the repair costs will be at least $500 or more. The dealer also stated that they had already performed the same repair on 2 other jeeps this winter. Once repaired, there is no guarantee that it won't happen again. Chrysler should recall the affected vehicles and come up with a solution to the problem.
Heater on 2004 jeep grand cherokee will not blow hot air. Temperature running about 210 (normal). Intermittent periods of operation while driving. Air conditioner works fine. Blower on AC side fine.
2004 jeep grand cherokee with defective heat and cooling system. Consumer states that after about 30 minutes the heat on the passenger side is replaced by cold air. He states the vehicle will not be able to keep free of ice with this failure. *kb the service department diagnosed the problem and ordered the replacement parts.
The heater in my 2004 jeep grand cherokee has stopped working. Turns out this is a very common problem with grand cherokees. The blend doors break because of defective plastic stop pins. Daimer chrysler now wants to charge over $1,200 to repair this issue, even though it clearly is a manufacturer defect.
Blows cold air only on one side when the heat is on. Unable to defrost windshield.
2004 jeep grand cherokee dual zone passenger side heat did not work at the onset of cold weather. Dealer stated the blend air door was broke. However to fix the broken part the entire dash assembly along with heater coil and AC coil had to be removed. The cost of the part was minimal compared to the labor expense to replace the part.
I have a 2004 jeep grand cherokee and the passenger side heater output went to 'full cold'. Took to dealer and was told 'HVAC door replacement' was necessary at about $1200.00 cost to me. Apparently a pin had broken off where the actuator attaches to the heater door. Entire dash assembly had to be removed, also air conditioner gas had to removed and replaced.
Both 2004 jeep cherokee special editions were purchased the same day at the same dealer, both in the past 6 months have need the window regulator replaced on the front passenger side.
Hot air/cold air blowing from vents when they're not set to do so. Blend door failure.
Jeep grand cherokee limited 2004 the HVAC system my heat is not working in my car nor is the defogger defroster on the drivers side window and I can't see. The azc gives me codes 54 and 56 the left and right door travel is too large. I only have heat on the passenger side of the car. The drivers side blows only cold. I am getting quotes from the dealer of close to $1000.00 to repair and its not under warranty. This problem has been around since the 1999 model. This should be a recall!!!!
