DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW TO A STOP OR WHILE STOPPED, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. THIS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. IT WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED A SWITCH ON THE AIR CONDITIONER CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO IDLE IMPROPERLY. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED. *AK
THE AIR CONDITIONER HOUSING LEAKS TO THE INTERIOR, UNDER THE CARPET. THE DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED A QUICK THAT DIDN'T WORK THE BODY SHOP SAYS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE. THE DEALERSHIP THEN SAID IF THE QUICKFIX DIDN'T WORK, THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE HOUSING, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE REMOVING THE ENTIRE DASH: OVER $600 TO COMPLETE THE JOB. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, JEEP SHOULD HAVE RECALLED IT A LONG TIME AGO AND FIXED IT.*AK
EVAPORATOR LEAKS INTO CAR. MECHANIC SAYS ITS A BAD DESIGN AND I NEED TO BRING IT IN EVERY 6 MONTHS OR SO WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE DONE THE PAST TWO YEARS I'VE OWNED THIS CAR. DESPITE REPALCING EVAPORATOR CORE THREE TIMES, MECHANIC SAYS DESIGN OF DRAIN INTO THE VEHICLE FRAME CAUSE IT TO CONTINUOUSLY BLOCK UP. THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO PERMANENTLY FIX THIS ISSUE. THE SMELL FROM THE WATER THAT LEAKS INTO THE CAR, PASSENGER REAR SEAT FLOOR BOARD, IS HORRENDOUS. MY DAUGHTER SITS HERE, AND IS HAVING ALLERGIC REACTIONS TO IT. I USE THIS CAR FOR BUSINESS AND CANNOT SEAT MY PASSENGERS IN IT WHEN IT IS LEAKING. IT IS EXTREMELY EXPESIVE AND TIME-CONSUMING TO HAVE THE DASH TAKEN APART EVERY 6 MONTHS TO CLEAN THE EVAPORATOR CASE OR REPLACE THE CORE.*AK
PLEASE CONTACT ME REFERENCE THE AIR CONDITIONING A/C UNIT IN MY 1995 GRAND CHEROKEE JEEP. I'M TOTALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THE SERVICE AND RESPONSES I'VE RECEIVED FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP REFERENCING THE A/C. THE A/C NOT WORKING ON A 500 MILE PLUS TRIP (ONE WAY) CAN CAUSE UNDO STRESS ON FAMILY, ESPECIALLY ONE WITH YOUNG KIDS AND A PREGNANT WIFE. WHEN AN AUTHORIZED AUTOMOBILE DEALERSHIP REPAIRS YOUR VEHICLE, YOU FEEL SOMEWHAT CONFIDENT. I CANNOT PLACE ALL THE BLAME ON THE DEALERSHIP AS THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUING PROBLEM AND CAN PROBABLY BE LABLED AS A MANUFATURER'S DEFECT.PLEASE CONTACT ME AND ADVISE ME ON COURSES OF ACTION AS DAIMLER CHRYSLER AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (DON PHILLIPS) ARE NOT INTERESTED IN PROVIDING ANY ASSISTANCE.*AK

IN 1998 MY A/C STOPPED COOLING. I HAD IT GASED UP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A LEAK BUT IT WAS REPAIRED.THIS YEAR IN MAY I TURNED MY A/C ON ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT IS NOT COOLING AGAIN THIS YEAR. I CALLED A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE EVAPORATION CORE WAS DEFECTIVE ON SOME JEEP MODELS AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO RUN A DYE TEST TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. IT IS GOING TO COST ME $325.00 JUST TO HAVE THE TEST DONE. PLEASE GIVE ME INFORMATION ON WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A DEFECTIVE EVAPORATION CORE ON A 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. *AK
