I AM NOT SURE THIS IS THE CORRECT PLACE FOR THIS SO IF NOT MAYBE YOU COULD DIRECT ME TO THE PROPER PLACE FOR MY COMPLAINT.I HAVE A 99 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ABOUT 20 MONTHS AGO THE BLEND DOORS IN THE AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL BROKE THE COST FOR THIS WAS AROUND $1000.00, LAST MONTH THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED AND JEEP BEING AWARE OF THE PROBLEM UPDATED THE PART SO AS TO NOT FAIL SO EASILY IN JAN 2004. I STILL HAD TO PAY FOR A COMPLETE REPAIR AGAIN. MY QUESTION IS THERE ANYWAY TO GET SOMEONE INVOLVED THAT CAN LOOK INTO THIS POORLY ENGINEERED ITEM. SINCERELY DANIEL KNIGHT. *AK
