Faults:

I have an AC in my '99 Grand Cherokee Ltd with a will of its own too. And things seem to be getting worse since they started about a year or so. Here are the symptoms (in order of appearance in my little) :

- Sometimes when I start the car and turn on the AC to cool the air, hot air gets blown out of the window defogger or the leg vents.

- When the car has been parked outside (airport parking) for a few days and I turn it on and turn on the heater, only cold air comes out.

- If park the car for a short while (< 10 min) after having driven it for 20-30 min with the AC on, the AC does not cool the air, but the heater kicks in and starts heating

- The newest one to appear: when I turn on the AC the driver's side gets cooled, but the passenger's side gets hot air (like really heated air at 80 degrees)

I guess it's time to replace the car and get a Japanese one (again). I never had any issues with my Toyota before.

I've also had all the other things go out: warped rotors, blown out Infinity speakers in the dash...

I really think Jeep lost its quality label.

Cheers,

Peter.

Heater and AC unit went out at 64000, mechanic said problem was so common in this year of Jeep they made a repair kit for it.

Seat warmers went out at about the same time.

Leather seats in general wearing out.

Now leaking antifreeze from who knows where at 94600 miles, have to fill it about twice a week.

CD player randomly gives error, tape player likes to spit out the tape, button that is suppose to change the cd changes the song.

Hood struts and hatch struts both worn.

General Comments:

My first car was a 94 grand Cherokee, I loved that car and wish I never got rid of it, never gave me any problems, LOVED that car, this was the car the started my love for jeeps.

My 99 is a nice car, it has all the fancy stuff, beautiful inside and out, comfortable, powerful, great for off roading and bad weather, but this particular year seems to have a lot of mechanical problems, the luxury stuff its nice, but getting Jeep parts seems to be hard to find and expensive, the value doesn't seem to keep well either, I've only owned it 1 year and 1/2 and I owe almost twice what its worth. If your love for jeeps is enough to go through all the repair costs it's a great car, but it's a little much for a young student, and unfortunately I plan on replacing it with a Civic.

Well this is my first jeep and I've put roughly 6,000 miles on it. I read a few of the other reviews and noticed some similarites. First, my headlights are also crusted up on the inside. But the real problem I care about is when I try to start it, it takes a solid 5-8 seconds to fire up. After that she runs just fine. Anyone know why this happens and if it's a tell tale sign of trouble to come?
