1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Equipment Problems

LIKE MOST JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS, I HAD TO PAY A HUGE REPAIR BILL TO GET THE AIR CONDITIONER TO WORK. ALMOST $2,000. *TR

EVERY JEEP CHEROKEE (AROUND 1999 YEARS) HAVE NO AC. IT IS A CRIME TO SEE ALMOST EVERY JEEP CHEROKEE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THEIR WINDOWS OPEN IN 95 DEGREE TEMPS. WE ARE TALKING THOUSANDS OF JEEP OWNERS! REPAIR COSTS ARE STAGGERING. *TR

A DEFECTIVE A/C PART FAILED BEHIND THE DASH, CAUSING EXTENSIVE REPAIR COSTS. *TR

A/C PROBLEM IN MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 1999. *JB

THE AIR CONDITIONER (AC)/HEAT DO NOT WORK ON THE1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE LIKELY PROBLEM IS THE FAILURE OF THE POORLY DESIGNED/MANUFACTURED BLEND DOORS. ESTIMATED REPAIR COST: $1200. I WAS INFORMED BY MECHANIC THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT SUCH A SYSTEM WOULD FAIL SO OFTEN AND COST SO MUCH TO FIX. *AK

I HAVE A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE INFAMOUS AUTOMATIC DUAL ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL. CURRENTLY THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM BLOWS HEAT THROUGH THE HVAC DUCTS BUT THE DRIVERS SIDE ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON JEEPS WITH THE DUAL ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL AND COSTS ABOUT $800 TO REPAIR. DAIMLERCHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THE THOUSANDS OF JEEPS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *AK

HEARD A LOUD NOISE, AND AIR CONDITIONER WAS NOT COOLING. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY STATED IT WAS THE COMPRESSOR. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

A/C IS INOPERABLE.*JB

THE LEFT SPEAKER IS INOPERATIVE. NLM

THE LUG WRENCH FAILED WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE, THE LUG WRENCH IS MADE OF FABRICATED METAL WHICH IS INADEQUATE TO REMOVE THE LUG NUTS. *SLC

SPARE TIRE MOUNTED ON LEFT SIDE BLOCKS VIEW OF DRIVER. SHOULD BE ON RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE BEHIND DRIVER. THIS IS A RHD VEHICLE USED FOR MAIL DELIVERY. HAVE ALMOST HIT 2 CARS THAT WERE BLOCKED FROM MY VIEW BY THE TIRE. CHRYSLER SAID THE RIGHT PANEL WILL NOT HOLD THE SPARE AND THE ONLY OPTIONS ARE TO LAY THE TIRE DOWN ON THE FLOOR OR PURCHASE A ROOF RACK AND MOUNT IT ON THE ROOF.

CONSUMER COMPLAINS OF AN AIR CONDITIONING ODOR. *SLC

CONDENSATION WOULD BUILD UP IN AIR CONDITIONER WHICH CAUSED MILDEW WHEN DRYING. IT WOULD THEN EXPEL AN ODOR. ACCORDING TO MECHANIC, THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM, EXCEPT MAYBE SPRAYING WITH LYSOL. WHEN AIR CONDITIONER IS OFF CAN SMELL IT, BUT WORSE WHEN ITS ON.*AK

A FOUL, UNPLEASANT ODOR IS COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS, DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT CAN'T. *SLC

THE VIN NUMBER IDENTIFIED THE VEHICLE AS A 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY A 1999 MODEL, CONSUMER FOUND OUT WHEN INSURANCE COMPANY CAME TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD BUT THE 2000 MODEL WINDSHIELD WOULD NOT FIT THE VEHICLE. NLM

THE JACK BROKE THE WINDSHIELD DURING ROLLING ACCIDENT BECAUSE ITS RETAINING ARM FAILED. YH

AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT COOL. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE WERE TOLD THERE IS A VACUUM LEAK SOMEWHERE. THE DEALER HAS ADDED DIFFERENT PARTS TO AID IN THE VACUUM, BUT NOTHING IS WORKING. THIS PROBLEM HAS AFFECTED THE USE, VALUE, AND POSSIBLY THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE.

AC IS NOT COOLING CAR DOWN DEALER SAIDS THAT AC IS OK, PROBLEM WITH AC & HEAT ON A LONG TRIP, TOOK TO A AUTO SHOP WAS TOLD TO MUCH AC FLUID IN SYSTEM WHICH CAUSE HEAT TO COME OUT OF AC, WAS DRAIN & REFILLED. AC IS COLDER THAN BEFORE 'BUT' STILL NOT COLD ENOUGH, SYSTEM IN OTHER 1999 CARS ARE MUCH COLDER THAN JEEP.NOT A HAPPY CONSUMER.

VEHICLE NOT EQUIPPED WITH A RETRACTABLE ANTENNA, THEREFORE CONSUMER CAN'T DRIVE VEHICLE THROUGH CAR WASH DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF ANTENNA BREAKING.
