| Description of the problem | Heater, defroster, a/c, vents all stopped working twice! On my 2004 jeep grand cherokee. The blend doors would break and stick, thus producing no heat, a/c.. Nothing! This is very dangerous and extremely costly 1200-1800 each time it has to be fixed. The whole dashboard needs to be removed, the coolant drained and refilled, heater removed, a/c drained and refilled, it is an all day fix for a repair shop who is fluent with this. Two days for one who is not. |
