What owners wrote
2001 jeep grand cherokee. No heat on the passengers side in the winter, AC doesn't work correctly according to the dial settings. Defrost and defogger doesn't work as should. Have to have the drivers side window open some to be able to see and keep the windshield clear. Windshield fogged up too quickly once last winter and I put the vehicle in a ditch at 5am in the middle of winter. Got a small cut over the right eye.
2001 jeep grand cherokee, window regulator failed and window will not close. My son's car with my grand kids. My son has identified numerous similar failures on other cherokees. The failure occurs suddenly and had it been inclement weather, could affect drivers ability to control vehicle.
