NHTSA complaint #10221448, filed 2008-03, 122,000 miles“I own a 2001 grand cherokee 4x4. With in the past three weeks, I have gone to roll down my window, both on the front passenger and driver side door. When I do so, the internal mechanism has fallen apart and I have had to get the entire mechanism replace at a cost of $400 each. I want to know if there is known issue with this. Please contact me and lets talk about resolving the issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10107522, filed 2005-01, 72,700 miles“I am in the ever growing list of HVAC blend door malfunction. Now I will be the only one traveling in my Jeep. As I investigate it looks like we will be spending up-to $1200 for this repair.”
NHTSA complaint #10212029, filed 2007-12, 113,100 miles“I have a 2001 Jeep grand cherokee limited, at approximately 58,000 miles the HVAC system won't direct the air to the correct area when asked to do so. When taken to the dealer they tell me it will cost $1,500 to repair. From what I understand this is a very common situation with these vehicles. I live in central ohio and it get very cold in the winter and when you can't get heat to come out of the floor or dash vents or the defroster to keep the window clear while driving it becomes a safety hazard. I'll put the date down when it started happening and it hasn't been resolved since.”

Between spring 2006 passenger side window dropped during the night leaving my car open and exposed to weather. Window would not go up and since we were out of town we had to duct tape all around to drive 300 miles home. $450 to repair. 4 months later went for a swim and when I returned to my car the driver side window had dropped and would not go up. Car has ~70,000 miles and thought this to be quite unusual so did some research on the web and found out that this is a frequent occurrence with this model. …”
