2001 Jeep Laredo

MY HEATER IN MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED HAS BEEN SUPPOSEDLY FIXED 5X AND IT HAS NEVER OPERATED PROPERLY. FIRST NO AIR AT ALL WOULD COME THRU THE VENTS THEN IT BLEW ONLY COLD AIR OUT NO MATTER WHAT THE SETTING WAS AND NOW IT WON'T BLOW HEAT OUT. MECHANICS ARE PUZZLED AS TO WHY IT WONT OPERATE PROPERLY SOME SAY ITS THE SENSOR SOME SAY ITS THE THERMOSTAT OR THE COMPUTER CHIP HASNT RESET ITSELF. THEY KEEP TRYING TO FIX IT YET IT HAS NEVER RAN PROPERLY WITH THE DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL. I AM PASSED MY WARRANTY COVERAGE DATE. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP DISHING OUT MONEY TIME AND AGAIN FOR THE SAME THING. WITH AS MANY TIMES IT HAS SUPPOSEDLY BEEN FIXED IT SHOULD BE ALL NEW PARTS IN THERE FOR THE HEAT/AC COMPONENTS TO WORK!!! *TR

I HAVE A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED, AT APPROXIMATELY 58,000 MILES THE HVAC SYSTEM WON'T DIRECT THE AIR TO THE CORRECT AREA WHEN ASKED TO DO SO. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER THEY TELL ME IT WILL COST $1,500 TO REPAIR. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A VERY COMMON SITUATION WITH THESE VEHICLES. I LIVE IN CENTRAL OHIO AND IT GET VERY COLD IN THE WINTER AND WHEN YOU CAN'T GET HEAT TO COME OUT OF THE FLOOR OR DASH VENTS OR THE DEFROSTER TO KEEP THE WINDOW CLEAR WHILE DRIVING IT BECOMES A SAFETY HAZARD. I'LL PUT THE DATE DOWN WHEN IT STARTED HAPPENING AND IT HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED SINCE. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT WHERE IT MOUNTS TO THE MOVABLE RAILS IS BROKEN. REPEATED CALLS TO VARIOUS USED PART DEALERS SHOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS. APPARENTLY AT AROUND 60,000 MILES OR SO THE SEAT BREAKS. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM IN THAT THE SEAT CAN COME LOOSE DURING NORMAL DRIVING, OR DURING AN ACCIDENT CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL, SERIOUS INJURY, OR DEATH. *AK

I WAS DRIVING ON A PUBLIC ROAD DOING APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE MADE AN ILLEGAL LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. I HIT HIM STRAIGHT ON AND NEITHER THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG OR THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I DRIVE A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I SUSTAINED SEVERE SPINAL INJURY THAT REQUIRED A SURGERY AND THE POSSIBILTY OF FUTURE SURGERY TO OTHER DISCS. *TR

THE 2001 JEEP, WHICH HAS 56,000 MILES HAS HAD THE FRONT ROTORS REPLACED THREE TIMES, AND THE CALIPERS ONCE. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AGREED THAT THERE WA S SOMETHING WRONG, BUT THEY HINTED ABOUT OUR DRIVING HABITS. YOU KNOW THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU DRIVE A LOT IN THE MOUNTAINS. WE PURCHASED IT IN DENVER, CLOSE TO THE MOUNTAINS. HOWEVER WE LIVE ON THE EASTERN PLAINS, AND WE HAVE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING, BUT WE HAVE THE TOWING PACKAGE. THIS LAST TIME WE HAD THE FRONT ROTORS REPLACED, AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THE PADS WERE FINALLY WORE ON THE REAR. IT IS AMAZING THAT THE LIFE OF THE PADS IS THREE TIMES THAT ROTOR. I KNOW THAT BRAKES ARE WEARABLE ITEMS, BUT REPLACING THE ROTORS BEFORE THE PADS IS LIKE BUYING THREE SETS OF WHEELS BEFORE THE TIRES WEAR OUT. I CALLED DAIMLER CHRYSLER, AND I SIMPLY WANTED SOME ADVICE, BUT THE LADY HUNG UP ON ME. I CALLED BACK AND FINALLY GOT SOMEONE TO DOCUMENT SOME ITEMS. MY WIFE AND I HAVE PAID OVER $1,500 OUT OF OUR POCKET, AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID, WITHOUT HESITATION, THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. HE WOULDN'T DOCUMENT ANYTHING FOR US. ALL I WANT TO DO IS FIX THE PROBLEM SO IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. WHAT CAN OUR FAMILY DO? *AK

JEEP HEATING , TOOK VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC, AND HE SAID THAT THE COOLING FAN WAS BROKEN/FROZEN. THE MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON JEEP COOLING FANS FOR MY YEAR OF JEEP. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER PLUS DAIMLER-CHRYSLER, BUT THEY SAID THE RECALL WAS FOR 4.1L ENGINES AND MY ENGINE WAS A 4.7L. OBVIOUSLY, CHRYSSLER/DAIMLER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COOLING FANS ON THESE JEEPS, BUT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY JEEP WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MECHANIC HAD THE NHTSA RECALL BULLENTIN. BECAUSE OF THE HEATING PROBLEM, ALONG WITH A SAFETY ISSUE, WE HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE REPAIR WORK DONE, $1206.86. THE PART ALONE WAS OVER $900.00 - THE OLD PART WAS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE.*AK
