Air conditioner stopped working. Upon further investigation, mechanic informed me the problem originated from a faulty evaporator system. Currently, the repair estimates is over $2000 due to replace the evaporator, compressor and freon. Based on Jeep blogs, it has been identified that Jeep has been aware of this faulty evaporator problem, but will not take responsibility. Per Jeep blog, another grand Cherokee owner wrote: dealer's service writer immediately told me that 85% of the time when the a/c goes out in this vehicle it's the evaporator inside the car behind the dash. Upon further examination by the repair technician that's what needed to be replaced. I asked if they replace the evaporator with the same part and he said no, they now use a different sku replacement evaporator. Obviously, Jeep is aware of this problem and has made changes to fix it.
The contact owned a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The vehicle caught on fire while parked. The fire department extinguished the fire, but did not file a report. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to an independent facility. The contact was informed that the air conditioner suction/discharge hose fractured, came into contact with the exhaust manifold, and caused the fire. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v676000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.
The vehicle was stationary . The water from the air condition condensate line runs on a pan which in turn over flows over the side of the pan running on to the exhaust steaming up under the car into the engine compartment and the steel above the exhaust.
