This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The heating / cooling system in my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited stopped working. Now it currently only blows hot air from one vent (driver's side, mid-level). Every other vent in the vehicle blows only cold air. The air conditioning system does not work whatsoever. Neither of the temperature control switches work (for passenger / driver side). I have read on the internet that this seems to be quite a problem for this model Jeep. I have gotten quotes to repair the problem and it will cost over $1000. I have done nothing since it is quite expensive and will leave me without my vehicle for some time. The heating / cooling system never works at all.
Broken window motor, seat belt mounting bolts, leaking rear shock absorbers, etc... the consumer felt Jeep should fix the outstanding problems with the axles and the transmission and give a warranty for the power train. The vehicle experienced a noise while in motion. Also the broken window lift leaked, the rear absorbers failed, the rear passenger window leaked air, the seat belt mounting bolts failed, and a potential fire hazard on the manifold debris shield, the brake pedal pulsated wildly(front were rotors turned), the passenger window had stuck shut, the exterior mirror had broken off, and the transmission slammed into reverse. There was a buzz in the rear which had progressed to a howl. Refer to ODI# 10027025
