VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
WE HAVE HAD FAILURE OF TWO WINDOW REGULATORS. THE FIRST, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW, COST $500 IN 2008. THE SECOND, THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW, WILL PROBABLY COST A BIT MORE. BY THE LEVEL OF CHATTER ON THE INTERNET IT WOULD APPEAR TO BE A MAJOR AND CONSISTENT PROBLEM AMONG JEEP OWNERS OF THIS MODEL. I PITY THE OWNERS WITH FOUR WINDOWS GOING OUT. I AM ALREADY HALF WAY THERE!

MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO HAS POWER WINDOWS AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF MY WINDOW MOTORS AND OR CABLES AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE OF THE WINDOWS I HAVE REPLACED TWICE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. TODAY WAS THE MOST RECENT DATE BUT THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS.

I OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. MY JEEP HAS SHUT OFF ON ME THREE TIMES THIS WEEK WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME MY CRUISE WAS SET AT 65MPH, IT KICKED OFF THE CRUISE AND THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER, RESTARTED IT GOT BACK UP TO 65MPH AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN NOT 2 MINUTES LATER. IT DIDN'T RESTART AGAIN FOR ME THAT MORNING. MY FIANCE WENT TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AND HE DROVE IT HOME AS IF THERE WAS NEVER A PROBLEM. TODAY (2 DAYS LATER) WHILE COMING AROUND A CORNER IN TOWN THE VEHICLE STALL AGAIN, BUT THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP THIS TIME AND I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKES STOPPING THE JEEP IN THE ONCOMING LANE TO AVOID AN OFF ROAD ADVENTURE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO OTHER TRAFFIC, BUT WHAT IF THERE WAS? WHAT IF THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DOING 65MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY? I USE TO LOVE THIS VEHICLE, BUT NOW IM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, I JUST GOT THE JEEP OUT THIS AFTERNOON BECAUSE THE PASSENGER WINDOW FELL INSIDE THE DOOR AND BROKE. MY NEW WINDOW IS NOW BOLTED TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE EXTRA COUPLE HUNDRED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR THAT WAS COMPLETELY TORE APART WHEN THE WINDOW CAME DOWN. WHAT'S NEXT?

FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW SLID DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. IT IS NOW SHATTERED. I BOUGHT THE CAR A FEW MONTHS PRIOR WITH NO PROBLEMS , THE WINDOW ALWAYS WORKED FINE. NOW EVEN THE BUTTON TO MOVE THE WINDOW DOES NOTHING. GLASS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND ALSO THE REGULATOR (WINDOW MOTOR).

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
OUR WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES BEGAN WHEN THE JEEP WAS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW. THE NEXT WAS THE DRIVER WINDOW IN 2005. NOW THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW HAS GONE OUT. THIS WINDOW HAS BEEN OPERATED MAYBE 50 TIMES. I WAS TOLD ON THE SECOND WINDOW THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ORIGINAL MOTORS AND THEY WERE INSTALLING A DIFFERENT TYPE IN THE REPLACEMENTS. THERE WAS NO OFFER TO REPLACE THE REMAINING WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. AT $400+ COST TO REPAIR, JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR THE LAST TO GO. COME ON JEEP, YOU CAN DO BETTER.

HELLO AND THANKS FOR LISTENING, I PURCHASED A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WITH 47,000 MILES ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND AT AROUND 55,000 MILES THE PASSENGER HEAT AND DEFROST QUIT WORKING WHILE THE DRIVER'S SIDE CONTINUED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THAT WAS SO UNTIL I WENT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO FIND THAT THE PASSENGER "BLEND AIR DOOR" WAS SHOWING "TOO LARGE OF TRAVEL" BY THE DEALERSHIP COMPUTER. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THE DOOR THAT AIDS IN DIRECTING THE HEAT TO THE DESIGNATED VENTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BROKEN. ESTIMATED COST TO REPLACE WAS GIVEN TO BE $737 AND THAT WAS IF I SCHEDULED REPAIR WITHIN ONE MONTH. TWO WEEKS LATER THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEAT AND DEFROST QUIT WORKING ALONG WITH THE RECIRCULATION VENT THAT INHIBITS OUTSIDE AIR IN THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT PRESENT TIME DUE TO THE INABILITY TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS. AFTER TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM I FIND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM DUE TO POOR DESIGN IN THE GRAND CHEROKEE IN THE YEARS 1999-2004. IT IS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING FAILURE OF THESE PARTS WAS SO COMMON THAT MANY MODELS WERE REPAIRED WITH THE SAME FACTORY PARTS AND FAILED AFTER BEING REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIPS. THEN IN 2007 THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION ACKNOWLEDGED ONLY TO THE DEALERSHIPS THAT THESE PARTS WERE BEING REPLACED WITH NEWER DESIGNS DUE TO THE ORIGINAL DESIGNS WERE INSUFFICIENT FOR THIS TYPE VENTILATION SYSTEM. IN OTHER WORDS THE ENGINEERING OF THE SYSTEM WAS SURE TO BE A PROBLEM FOR OWNERS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND MAKE CHRYSLER/JEEP RECALL THESE SYSTEMS AND REPAIR WITH THE UPGRADED PARTS BEFORE SOMEONE KILLS INNOCENT PEOPLE DUE TO ACCIDENTS RELATED TO FOGGY WINDSHIELDS. SOME PEOPLE CANNOT JUST PARK THEIR CAR DUE TO THIS FACTORY DEFECT.....THANKS....GLENN

2001, JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LARADO, BLEND DOOR FAILURES OF HEATER SYSTEM. FAILURE RESULTED IN NO HEAT OR DEFROST SITUATION DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER FORCING DRIVER TO STOP ALONG MOTORWAY. VEHICLE INSPECTED AND DISCOVERED THE HEATER SYSTEM "BLEND DOORS" FAILED. NOT SURE WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE FAILED, HOWEVER THE DRIVER SIDE RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE NOW NOT BEING DRIVEN DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. REPAIR QUOTES HAVE BEEN EXTENSIVE AND BEYOND FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE SERIOUS AND WIDESPREAD SAFETY ISSUE WITH JEEPS UTILIZING THIS HEATING SYSTEM AT THIS TIME VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEN DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER AS REPAIRS ARE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO ABSORB AT THIS TIME. FAILURE TO DEFROST WINDSHIELD LEADS TO A SERIOUS DRIVABLE PROBLEM FROM FOGGING WINDOWS.

WINDOWS JUST FALL DOWN FOR NO REASON. THE REPAIR COSTS AROUND $400.00. SEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS IS A REAL HUGE PROBLEMS WITH THE JEEP LINE OF CARS. THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS AND JEEP REFUSES TO SEE THIS AS THEIR FAULT. THIS IS CLEARLY DESIGN FAULT, AND SHOULD BE COVERED IN A MASSIVE RECALL.

DRIVER'S SIDE AUTOMATIC WINDOW FAILED FOR NO REASON, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE WINDOW ALL OF THE SUDDEN FELL ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WAY. THIS WAS DONE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. SO FAR, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REPLACE THE PART. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS THE WINDOW REGULATOR, AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN MANY JEEPS.
