“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10452193, filed 2012-03, 70,000 miles“My '01 Grand Cherokee A/C and heater is uncontrollable. Fan comes on but no air from vents.this seems to be a defect that is not uncommon with this model.several online sites show that this is not an isolated situation.60 k miles and Jeep tells me that its out of warranty and they will not help.”
NHTSA complaint #10197053, filed 2007-07, 50,000 miles“Noticed that the head lights would automatically come on while the car was in park and shut off (headlight switch on auto) the radio controls on the steering wheel would work once in awhile the same for the cruise controls plus the horn does not work at all know did work when I bought it in april 06. I noticed when I played with the tilt steering something is would work some wouldn't. I believe that this might affect the airbag from deploying if in a wreck.”
NHTSA complaint #10215515, filed 2008-01, 117,000 miles“Over the past three years my power windows slid down. One left rear a few years ago slid down as we were going down the road. Rt passenger side down about a year later. January 2nd my passenger side window did the same. I took it into the shop and mechanic said it was the regulator, it would be 300.00 to fix it, he said yep that's common in jeeps. I have a friend who has a 2002 Jeep, same problem with all four.... I'm a single mother, single grandmother that cant spare that kind of money. Yesterday 04/14/2009 I walked out to my Jeep to discover the window was down. …”
NHTSA complaint #10265413, filed 2009-04, 105,000 miles“My 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee has to the shop twice for the same complaint. The car shimmies very bad above 40 MPH when the brake is applied. I only have 18,700 total miles on the car. The first incident occurred at approximately 8500 miles and the dealer replaced the required parts according to the technical bulletin issued by daimler chrysler. The second time (same exact shimmy indication), I was told that the rotors had to be turned and that it was a heat problem and not covered under any warranty. Furthermore, the problem was perhaps a driver habit and not any fault of the manufacture. …”
