4 Side/rear Glass problem of the 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 12/03/2008

The heater in my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland has failed due to a known defect in the temperature blender door that prevents heat from getting redirected onto the windshield to defrost the glass. Chrysler has to my knowledge not issued a voluntary recall to fix this problem. This is a serious safety issue here in montana where we need to be able to see in winter weather. I was nearly in an accident this morning with my 6-year old son in the car due to the windshield freezing up and my not being able clear the glass. Please, please, please issue a recall notice to force Chrysler to fix this known problem. I am sure there are many other Jeep owners who have filed similar complaints. This is a safety issue just as important as the seat-heater recall for the same model. Thank you. Bill haynes.

13 Side/rear Glass problem of the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Failure Date: 08/01/2001

I was travelling approximately 55 mph with the sunroof open and all the other windows closed when the rear window imploded inward. There was no evidence of anything hitting the window and there were no other cars or people in the near vicinity. I am wondering if some kind of pressure could have been created that caused the window to implode. It was quite violent when it happened and could have easily caused an accident.
