| Description of the problem | Driving & notice that window started to frost up, at the same time notice that the heat was not getting warm after driving for over 20 mins. Turned the defrost on and it started to frost more, put my hand to the blowers & notice that it was blowing cool air. Double checked that i had the heat on and put it to high and it continued to blow cool air,reached over to the passenger side and it was blowing warm air. Made an appointment took my vehicle in as it already had a recall on it for something else explain to them what was going on with the heater, they said that the part for my heater would take 2 days to get in & they would call. One week later had not heard anything, went back to the jeep dealership(colorado chrysler jeep) service & asked about the part, was told that it was nothing put in or shown about my complaint about my heater. Set r another appointment to bring my jeep in to have the heater repaired & was told it would take 4 hours, after being there for over an hour they said it was going to be a 2 day repair... It was a recall but not a recall & that they would be replacing the radiator and heater core. Appointment for 1/3/14 and was told it would be ready on 1/6/ or 1/7/14. My jeep was not ready until 1/22/14 and when i picked it up on 1/23/14 they told me they the flushed heater core, radiator and overflow tank... Flushed entire system filled and bleed system with new coolant and checked temp at 155 degrees. That should fix it and if it did not then they would replace the radiator and heater core. Then got in the jeep let it run for over 8 mins heater on left side was stilling blowing cool and right was blowing warm. Took over 18 mins for the left side to blow warm but was not as warm as right side. Taking jeep to different jeep dealership service department tomorrow as the service simply show that they did not do the job they should have. |
