Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While using the heat on my 2001 jeep grand cherokee the passenger side will get cold and no heat will come out from the passenger side vents just cold air. i went to the local jeep dealer to have the problem diagnosed, and they said that the passenger blend door actuator failed,and were going to charge $1,300.00 to repair and replace the damaged parts and is not covered under the warranty. i have been doing some research on this part and problem and from just putting the part numbers (#05134349aa auto a/c mid case blend assembly and #05134347aa auto a/c air recirculation assembly) into google it seems to be a common problem with most recent jeep grand cherokees laredo and limited. i have found at least two jeep forums where this problem is posted. daimler chrysler knows about this problem and has issued a technical service bulletin tsb (#24-001-04). i do not see why this has not been an issue of recall or falls under any warranty that is provided by daimler chrysler. *jb
