| Description of the problem | Jeep grand cherokee limited 2004- heat not working properly due to blend door misfunctioning. Spent $1200 at jeep/chrysler dealership to fix and less than one winter later it is broken again. Even replaced all parts t-working and non working parts. This is a major problem with jeep and this should be made a recall. Thousands of others are in our same boat and there are forum set up just on this issue. This is too much money to spend every winter on the same malfunction! Drove less than 10,000 miles in 12 months on my vehicle. This should not have recurred. |
