NHTSA Complaint #10352540 — 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS AGO, THE HEAT STOPPED WORKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THEN LAST YEAR, THE HEAT AND A/C STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THIS MAKES FOR VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AS VISIBILITY IS GREATLY REDUCED AT TIMES. ITS TOO COSTLY FOR ME TO REPAIR MYSELF. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MOST OF THESE VEHICLES AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOMETHING HASN'T BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT HEATING ELEMENT STOPPED WORKING AFTER IT APPARENTLY SHORTED OUT, LUCKILY, NO FIRE OCCURRED. AND THE HYDRAULICS THROUGH OUT THE VEHICLE HAVE STOPPED WORKING AND I NOTICED THIS WHEN FIRST THE HOOD CAME DOWN ON MY HEAD AND THEN THE REAR WINDOW! I'VE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AND IT WAS DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLANT/HYDRAULIC FAN...AT A PRICE TAG OF $4000.00... *TR
