| Description of the problem | The blend doors on the hvac system do not always function and will blow cold air in the winter and hot air in the summer. This happens when the "auto" mode is activated. 1999-2004 long history of failure and afraid that if i continue to use mine will also fail and will either have to repair myself with approx 8 hours of labor and of course the price of the repair unit or have to pay even higher price to jeep (chrysler) to have a known defect repaired at my cost. *nm |
