We were driving our 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee on an open road at about 55mph when we heard a loud sound like a muffled gunshot over our heads. No other traffic was in sight and there was nothing overhead. When we pulled over to investigate, we noted that the sunroof was shattered and "pooched" up, yet intact. Nothing struck the vehicle and it was not impacted from below. We drove it to the nearest dealer we could find with the nav unit a few miles away. We were met with hostility and basically called liars by the service staff when we told them what happened. It is currently in the dealers shop awaiting a new sunroof. We have had other Chrysler products before and have had no issues. Other than this incident the vehicle has been a joy to own.

The passenger side window on my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo will not roll up (after dropping down into the door on the highway).

I don't understand how the NHTSA can ignore the problem with the hvac blend door assembly unit on the wj Jeeps. How can having no heat and no defroster not be a safety issue. I live in maine and can not afford the estimated $1200 repair to fix this widely known defect. Try driving in 15 degree whether with snow on the roads and no defroster. Guess what happens? your breath causes the windows to fog hence to the point on no visibility. I slid off the road after hitting a snow bank on the side because I could not see and was trying to scrape the quarter inch on frost on my window off. This is ridiculous Chrysler needs to do something.

There is creaking from the dash seconds after shutting the engine off. Cold air blows from one side of the dash even when you have the heat turned on high. Dealer says this is the blend door problem. I already had this unit replaced at 70k miles and now it is failing again. Dealer states it is due to the design of using plastic parts that break.

Heat only works on driver side. Cold air from passenger side. My mechanic the a/c blend door is probably stuck. I have been told they would have to pull the dash to fix the problem. A year ago the heater core was replaced requiring the need to pull the dash. The labor for that alone was $900. My mechanic told me that both of these problems have service bulletins issued for the Jeep & the Dodge durango. I believe the manufacturer should be responsible for the repair costs. These are so common, that the parts needed to fix the blend door are not even available. With the below 0 temperatures we are having this winter I can't go very far without freezing!.

2001 grand Jeep cherokee limited edition blend doors and recirc door all broken at 48k miles. Poor design of the parts (plastic) caused the failures.

I own a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has 4 interior door handles broken. To get out of my car I have to roll down my window, open my door and then open the rest of the doors for my 3 kids. This is a scary situation in case I am involved in an accident and there is a fire. If my Jeep turns off how am I supposed to roll down the electrical window and escape out of my car. Our safety is in great danger because of defective door handles that are not even forced and break off so easily. Another problem I have with my Jeep is that when I start it and start driving, the electrical brake system light, the engine light, the abs light and some other light turn on. After the lights turn, the speedometer will no longer work, I can't see how many miles per hour I am driving. I have to turn of the Jeep, restart it and that will make the speedometer work but the engine light will not go off. In a couple of occasions I have come to make a complete stop with the vehicle and all of a sudden it will turn off dead. I have to put the vehicle in park and restart it again.

No defrost in 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee - no heat either. But lack of defrost is a safety issue.

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee dual climate control heater and defrost only works on one side of vehicle. The dealer says it will cost $1200. 00 to diagnose and repair the blend doors on the system. With no heat for defrost on one side of the vehicle this could be a potential extreme hazard for visibility.

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, passanger side heat does not work - blows cold air - again (10/09)! fixed this once before in 2006 (ish) for approx $800.

Climate control system blend door failure.

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!.

Window regulator on drivers side power window has broken twice! both times no warranty covered it, although the parts repaired were Jeep parts, brand new.

While driving down the freeway the hvac vents suddenly began to blow hot air in ac mode & switch back & forth. Later after reading the haynes manual I did a diagnostic on the heater system & got a code 54 showing a blend door problem. Researching this on the internet Jeep forums discovered that many Grand Cherokee limited have a blend door failures due to the design (plastic pins etc) on the temp doors in the system. My problem w/ this is what happens when this fails in the winter & your defroster won't blow hot air only cold. Seems like a safety related problem to me. From the internet forums it sounds like a lot of the limited series 1999-2004 have this problem.

Power windows-front passenger side regulator failed ~July '09 getting back in the car from church put the window up heard loud snap and window dropped, had to stop window from falling into door panel by holding it all the way home until we could figure out what to do-taped it up. Driver side window started out as a motor failing in Jan '11 and when I went to get my oil changed asked them not to put window down because of that (didn't want it to get stuck in down position), window got put down and that was the start of the end. By Feb '11 the window had failed no snaps but will slide down if not held up with something. Now both of my windows are done for and being held up with tape, can't afford dealership pricing to fix. Passenger window went at ~85,000 miles went to dealership for pricing to fix ~$300/window + labor @ $90/hr driver window went at ~160,000 miles have been looking for parts online and in junk yards. . . If the windows are not pushed up all the way and taped securely they will leak from the rain or wind will get in and cause the truck to be uncontrollable! I didn't realize that there were so many problems with the windows, thought it was a freak thing apparently not.

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited v8 blend door is broken. This effect the ability for my Jeep to heat cool and defrost properly. It seems to be a design flaw considering the amount of instances I have run across.

The hvac system on our 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited has broken and is unable to direct air at the proper temperature to the proper places. The defect appears to be related to electronically controlled dampers in the ductwork that have failed. This prevents our defroster from working as effectively as it should and is also an irritant to the driver when it's 110 degrees outside in the texas heat. Googling the problem identifies it as a common breakage and is related to the use of cheap plastic materials in the damper mechanism. I believe this should be covered as part of a manufacturers recall campaign.

Visibility-defrost.

Hvac system components failure. 1) blend doors plastic motor stop broke rendering them useless. No heat in passenger compartment. 2) recirc door broke falling on top of the fan rendering the defroster useless. Unable to run defroster creating a serious safety issue.

The regulator on 3 of the 4 windows have gone out, have them repaired at $400 per window. The engine fan will not turn off after stopping, unless I pull out the fuse under the hood, have had this repaired 2 times at an expense of $400 each time. Car has 75,000 miles and is a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo.

While driving the entire electrical system fails; lights start flashing, heat goes out, all system warning lights flash ( brakes, tire pressure, service 4 wheel drive system, check engine light comes on), I was able to contiue to drive the car but the lights flashed continously for approximtely 15 miles. This has happened mutiple times since I purchased the SUV June 2005. The dealership runs test by say they cannot find anything wrong. I have read on the internet that this is happening to many owners of the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the dealers and mechanics at the dealership cannot find anything wrong. This is a dangerous situation as many people also loose power and the SUV shift into low gear. I am afraid to drive my Jeep now because the check engine light keeps coming on and off. I am going back to the dealership again for some more stupid "I did not find anything wrong" statements. Originally I was told it was because I had a remote starter so I has it disconnected and the problem still exists.

When heater is on we only get heat out on the driver side only. Cold air blows out on the passenger side. Then no heat from any side of unit.

2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee, laredo, 4x4 I noticed that the vehicles hvac is not functioning correctly. This causes sometimes obstructed views in passenger side compartment . This occurs everyday when vehicle is running I'm currently in the process of repairing this defect myself.

My 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee blows only cold air on drivers side. Currently we are in below freezing conditions in montana. Apparently, after looking this up on the internet, this is a common problem with this vehicle, for which the Jeep dealer will charge upwards of a thousand dollars. From my research this is a very common failure in wj Jeeps. Since my teeth were chattering, and body shaking, I would say I was severely hypothermia. Not a good time of year for heat to go out because of very bad engineering. I wouldn't even mind paying a little money, but it costs a fortune because they have to pull the entire dashboard out to fix it. And they want a bailout package?.

I don't have an approximate date on the failure. It did just start recently. My 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee has no heat on the drivers side. This is due to faulty blend doors and recirc doors (after extensive research, I have found this is a very common problem on wj Jeeps. On my ride home tonight (below freezing weather), I became very hypothermic. Even after hot shower, I am still suffering effects. Also, on a previous occasion, my front window formed ice, and had to pull over. There was no heat on defrost. Didn't help that it was dark at 0500, and snowing quite hard. Chrysler knows about this problem, but brush it aside as merely a comfort issue. I guess that is an easy statement to make from a warm office and not in an actual car with this problem in rural montana in one of our hardest winters.

I was rolling down my automatic window in my 03 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it made a loud sound and will not roll back up. This is the second time this has occurred. From research online this seems to be a huge problem among owners of the same make/model.

2001 Jeep cherokee no heat on the passenger side, blows cold air, no heat.

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.

The heater on my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee blows cold air on the drivers side.

Passenger and driver side power window actuators have failed. The passenger side failed first and was covered by an extended warranty. A few months later the driver side failed. Vehicle is only 6 years old.

Passenger window has fallen down on my 2001 Jeep gc for no reason.
