general problems of the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Hvac doesn't change temperature. Blender doors are broken. Found out it's a common problem in 99-04 Jeep Grand Cherokees and they've updated the parts to replace. Problem is, labor costs around $1500 to fix the hvac. There should be a recall for this as I can't drive in the winter without heat, won't be able to see while driving without a defroster!!!.

My 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited w/42,000 miles. Yes . Not a typo . 42,000, orignal owner & "scared to death" to drive this SUV. I have alot of the already problems, that have been reported. Had to pay many, w/my own cash. This SUV schould have came in 1 color "lemon yellow". It is an accident watng to happen. The recent problem is now I have no a/c-heat or defroster. Ths is due, to failure of the automatic temp control to work. I t started 1st by intermittently working, till now not working at all, this is just 1 more, to the list , of many other problems. I don't think that it is an coincidence that all my issue have happenned, almost exactly, in the order, of all the other complaints. I can't undestand how a company can get away w/this. This new problem can cost up to $2000, if it is, like previous reported problems, happens to be the "blend doors". As a handicapped driver I drive less than 4,000 miles a year. This is the only auto I drive, thus the many, many probs have yet to raise thier head. I have read almost all complaints(too many to read) this SUV schould be a "total recall, I have never heard more complaints & problems, in my life, for any automobile. This SUV schould be studied & reseached, on "how not to build an automobile. Just read the many complaints here & on the internet. We are not making this stuff up. I don't know how they stayed in business as long as they did. We, the taxpayers, bailed them out. Who is bailing out all the owners, of this "death-trap"? if that is not absurd enuff, many problems could have been repaired, by Jeep & still can. What is the purpose, of nhsta, if not to intervene? you have all the complaints. Hundreds of them. You have them posted, yet, we taxpayers/owners safety, has been at risk ever since this SUV was driven out of the showroom. How did you not make a recall on the rotor/brakes issue which was reported at 3,000 miles? I am so frustrated. Is braking problems not a safety issue? please, help us!.

In just the last month we have lost heat completely in our Jeep. It start blowing out cold air on the driver side and now is blowing cold air on the driver side and passenger side as well as the defrosting vents all the time. We have no heat at all. We have not tried to repair it yet as it going to be costly.

I own a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited, and as I have come to find out my problem is all too common. In the middle of a freezing nebraska winter the heat stopped working! not only is did my heater core go out, the apparently the "blend door" is also not functioning correctly. The combination of problems is likely to cost well over a thousand dollars to fix! after researching and finding out how common this problem is . . . I've decided I'll never buy a Jeep again! the of people this is happening to is unacceptable and something needs to happen otherwise I would advice every Jeep owner to get rid of their car before 75,00 miles. The problem can become dangerous because the defrost/defog function is completely gone when this happens, reducing or eliminating visibility.

Blend door failure.

I have a 99 Grand Cherokee and all of a sudden one day last March. The passenger side air started to blow out cold air and the driver side was blowing out cold. The temperature was both on 80. Now this winter. You can not get the heat to switch from the front vents to the floor or defrost.

There is no heat from my passenger side in my 1999 Jeep cherokee. I took it to the dealer it is the blend door very expensive to fix over $1200. 00. I called Jeep and they know that there are problems but said they have not been told to recall. This is a safety issue the window fogs up and you can not see while driving!.

The heating / cooling system in my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited stopped working. Now it currently only blows hot air from one vent (driver's side, mid-level). Every other vent in the vehicle blows only cold air. The air conditioning system does not work whatsoever. Neither of the temperature control switches work (for passenger / driver side). I have read on the internet that this seems to be quite a problem for this model Jeep. I have gotten quotes to repair the problem and it will cost over $1000. I have done nothing since it is quite expensive and will leave me without my vehicle for some time. The heating / cooling system never works at all.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1999. Blend air door mechanism broke preventing defrosting of the windows.

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee blend doors are failing to provide heat or defrosting. Concerned about visibility and numbness. Unbelievable amount of complaints on this to the company.

Broken window motor, seat belt mounting bolts, leaking rear shock absorbers, etc. . . The consumer felt Jeep should fix the outstanding problems with the axles and the transmission and give a warranty for the power train. The vehicle experienced a noise while in motion. Also the broken window lift leaked, the rear absorbers failed, the rear passenger window leaked air, the seat belt mounting bolts failed,and a potential fire hazard on the manifold debris shield, the brake pedal pulsated wildly(front were rotors turned), the passenger window had stuck shut, the exterior mirror had broken off, and the transmission slammed into reverse. There was a buzz in the rear which had progressed to a howl. Refer to odi# 10027025.
