THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE HEATER/BLOWER/VENT SYSTEM FAILED AND NO HOT AIR COMES OUT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR INCLUDING THE DEFROSTER WHICH IS DANGEROUS. IT TURNS OUT THAT THERE ARE CHEAP PLASTIC TEMPERATURE DOORS ON THE HEATING SYSTEM UNDER THE DASH THAT BREAK. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON 1999-2004 JEEPS WITH DUAL HEATING SYSTEMS. I HAD THIS REPAIR DONE AT 72,500 MILES AND NOW AGAIN AT 141,900 MILES. BOTH TIMES THE REPAIR WAS ABOUT $1500. THE REPAIRS WERE DONE ON NOV 9, 2009 AND DEC 2, 2015. I AM TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TODAY BECAUSE THE AIR IS STILL NOT COMING OUT OF THE VENTS PROPERLY. I WAS CHECKING ABOUT RECALLS BEFORE I GO TO THE DEALER, AND I JUST FOUND THIS WEBSITE THAT DESCRIBES THE COMMON PROBLEM AND A LOW COST WAY TO FIX IT YOURSELF. HTTP://WWW.JGCPARTS.COM/JEEPHEATER.HTML . I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME AND ALL THE OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM!!!!

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 WINDOW REGULATORS BECAUSE OF A DEFECT. IT HAS COST ME OVER $1200.00 FOR ALL 4 TO BE REPLACED OVER TIME. IT SEEMS STRANGE TO ME THAT ALL 4 HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE PART COST OVER $325.00 JUST FOR THE PARTS NOT COUNTING THE LABOR . THE WINDOW JUST SUDDENLY FALLS DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY ROLLED UP. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND IT HAS BEEN TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF. I WOULD LIKE TO BE RE-IMBURSED FOR ALL OF MY EXPENSED CONSIDERING THIS CANNOT BE A FLUKE SINCE ALL 4 HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED AND NO ONE EVER SITS IN THE BACK SO IT HAS NOT BEEN WORN OUT FROM USE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID THIS IS JUST AND ISSUE WITH JEEPS AND THEY ALWAYS KEEP A LARGE AMOUNT OF REGULATORS ON HAND. I THINK THIS IS JUST A WAY FOR JEEP TO MAKE MONEY ON PARTS AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE SINCE THE PARTS ARE JUST A PIECE OF PLASTIC AND COST OVER 300.00 PER WINDOW AND WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR WINDOWS FIXED. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED TO SEE IF I CAN PURSUE A CLAIM TO BE RE-IMBURSED FROM JEEP.
