| Description of the problem | Air/ defroster won't blow out any air at all or will blow out hot air on one side of the jeep and cold air out the other side even though the settings are the same. This will happen on and off until it breaks totally. I have had mine fixed 3 times 12/29/06, 03/28/07, 06/08/09. You cannot defog/ defrost the windshield properly and keep it clear when you are driving. Each time the dealer replaced the faulty part housing a 240213290, actuator 24029001, housing a 2428025 and again housing a 24028025. This is a known issue for the 2004 jeep grand cherokee and you can find a lot of talk on the internet about the cheap plastic parts that are used . You can find after market aluminum part but that's not what the dealer uses. This should not happen on a jeep that only has 36,000 mile on it.. It's like its used alot. At $800. 00 a pop its starting to add up. |
