| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 jeep grand cherokee limited with 66,000 miles. In august 2006, the ac quit functioning when air temperatures exceeded 85f. After a recalibrating, everything seemed fine. But when the temperature dropped the passenger heat failed while the drivers side continued to function. The dealership replaced the "blend air assembly" per the tsb - at my expense. Didn't fix the problem so they recalibrated the system again. Worked for about 1 month. Then no heat on the driver side while passenger side has heat from the top vent but not the lower. The right side blend doors have been replaced twice & system recalibrated 4 times- again at my expense. Still no heat on drivers side or lower passenger side. Keeping the windshield is problematic in poor weather conditions. Service manager says he isn't getting any help from daimler chrysler. As temperatures have been below zero this is a serious safety hazard. *jb |
