DUAL ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL IN JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BLOWS HOT AIR ON DRIVERS SIDE AND COLD ON PASSENGER SIDE WHEN AC IS ON LOWEST TEMPERATURE. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER JUST REPLACED EVERYTHING IN THE DASHBOARD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT AS THE WINTER APPROACHES THE WINDOWS WILL FOG MORE AND ICE UP. THE INPROPER HEATING AND COOLING WILL NOT DEFROST THE WINDOWS CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR DRIVING. MY WIFE USES THIS CAR TO DRIVE MY CHILD AND I DO NOT WANT TO RISK THIER SAFETY. THERE ARE WEBSITES ALL OVER LISTING PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FOR YEARS.

I OWN A 2003 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH 67.900 MILES. THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WERE (1) RAPID FOGGING OF FRONT WINDSHEILD,(2) FOGGING OF FRONT PASSENGER WINDOWS,(3) FAILURE OF PASSENGER HEAT WHILE STILL MAINTAINING DRIVER HEAT FUNCTION, AND (4) ONLY COLD AIR RELEASE ON PASSENGER SIDE OF JEEP. CONSEQUENTLY,(1) THE WINDSHEILD AND FRONT WINDOWS DO NOT DEFOG, AND (2) NO HEAT WHATSOEVER COMES FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR AND DASHBOARD VENTILATION SYSTEM. TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, A BLEND AIR DOOR"IS NECESSARY AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $850 ,INCLUSIVE OF 7+ HOURS OF LABOR. ACCORDING TO THE CERTIFIED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND ONLINE FORUMS THIS HAS BECOME A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2000-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITEDS WITH DUEL ZONE VENTILATION SYSTEMS.*AK

ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 9,2020 APPROX. 5:56 PM I WAS COMING OUT OF ACME PARKING LOT, STATIONARY AT TRAFFIC LIGHT AWAITING A GREEN LIGHT . ALL CAR WINDOWS WERE UP, AC ON. NEXT THING I KNEW I HEARD A "DING" AND BEFORE I KNEW IT, BOTH AIR BAGS DEPLOYED , SHATTERING PASSENGER GLOVE BOX APART, SENDING DEBRIS AND PLASTIC IN MY FACE. DRIVER STEERING WHEEL DESTROYED. ENTIRE VEHICLE FILLED WITH "FIRE LIKE SMELL" FROM DUAL AIR BAG DEPLOYING. NO INJURIES TO MYSELF, NO ONE ELSE IN VEHICLE WITH ME AT TIME OF INCIDENT. NO ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND HAD OCCURRED THAT WOULD EXPLAIN DUAL AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WITHOUT ANY IMPACT TO VEHICLE. I CAN PROVIDE PHOTOS UPON REQUEST. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME/BRACKET BROKE IN FRONT OF DRIVER'S SEAT, ALLOWING THE DRIVER SEAT TO LEAN DETACH FROM THE FLOORBOARD AND MOVE BACKWARD TOWARD THE REAR SEATS. WHEN RESEARCHING THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE, IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT. IF THE DRIVER SEAT FRAME CANNOT HOLD UP TO NORMAL USE, HOW WILL IT HOLD UP TO THE FORCES EXERTED UPON IT IN THE EVENT OF A REAR-END COLLISION? THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT AND BASED ON THE VOLUME OF OTHER CONSUMERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE, IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT ACTION HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

THE SHIFT CABLE IS RUBBING AGAINST THE FUEL LINE, AFTER 156000 MILES IT HAS WORN A HOLE IN THE LINE. DURING A RESENT VACATION I NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS BUT COULD NOT TELL WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. WHEN THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF IT WOULD STOP LEAKING. AFTER I WAS BACK I WAS USING THE CAR AGAIN BACKING UP AND NOTICED A DRIP DRIP DRIP ON THE GROUND. AS I WAS ONLY A MILE FROM HOME I WENT HOME AND PARKED AND IT STILL LEAKED A BIT UNTIL THE PRESSURE STOPPED. I DID NOT THINK TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE LINE AFTER I REMOVED IT. I TOOK THE FUEL LINE TO A SHOP TO HAVE A UNION PUT IN THE LINE BUT THAT IS LEAKING AS THE FITTING IS NOT TIGHT ENOUGH. I GUESS I WILL NEED TO BUY A NEW LINE. I HAVE NOT SEEN A REPORT OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER JEEPS BUT IT IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AS IT COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE.

WHILE THE CAR WAS STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT, THE IDLE SUDDENLY STARTED RACING AT WELL OVER 1000 RPM. EVEN MAX PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM MOVING. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL FROM DRIVE TO PREVENT RUNNING OVER A PEDESTRIAN. THE IDLE RETURNED TO NORMAL SEVERAL SECONDS LATER. THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE WAS NOT IN ANY WAY INVOLVED. A MORE LIMITED RACING OCCURRED WHEN I FIRST BEGAN THE TRIP WHILE I WAS MAKING A SLOW LEFT TURN FROM A STOPPED POSITION AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING SAFELY FOR OVER 54 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN EXPERIENCE TO COMPARE WITH THIS ONE. IT WAS TRULY A WHILE KNUCKLE RIDE!
